This channel has been the best for me because you have a simple way of explaining things. Thanks 👍

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊

[@localcapdriver6050]

Thank you very much, this video was quite helpful, god bless

[@GreencampRhodie]

Great video. Thanks. Gutted I've missed this year's period.

[@gokhanyenilmez5117]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I think your technique is the best i have seen so far whereby posibility of harming the tree is quite low, particularly using pine resin to closing the wound is a brilliant idea.

[@oiputthatback7361]

We did this the last week it was amazing , using a branch not the main tree trunk.

[@butlersbridge]

Done this myself last week myself, but like your less invasive technique way better. Learnt something new today. Thanks for sharing. Would you perhaps do a video sometime in the future on the river cattails, roots etc best time to forage them and so on? Many Thanks P

[@billsmith-hl8rk]

Great video, very informative. I'm wondering, apart from Birch, Maple and Walnut, are there any other species of tree in the UK that can be harvested for edible sap? Is there a comprehensive list?

[@DANDIIDAY1111]

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

[@evemichael3850]

You mention to put resin on the wound, can you tell us where to get it?/ Show us. Thanks

[@geoffbaker4452]

I gather you can also ferment the sap and make birch sap wine.

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Yeah I’ve not tried it myself but apparently it works well

[@Abspro50]

Really lovely video and something I've been doing lately. Do you know how much we can drink at once?

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Thanks 😊. I’m not sure how much we can drink, I’m sure it wouldn’t be toxic to consume a few litres a day. Just no more than a few litres per tree

[@Abspro50]

@@UKWILDCRAFTS many thanks 😊

[@nomadnomad9109]

Does the tree need to a certain age to get sap

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

As long as it's not a sapling it's fine. I find the older and thicker the trunk, the better the yield

[@nomadnomad9109]

Live the Mora

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Yep Mora are great. Have several of their knives

[@ted1571]

Why my birch sap is brown?

[@UKWILDCRAFTS]

Ah yeah that can happen, normally if it’s brown after a half litre or so it clears up

[@ospreybird]
