Overnight at the Maple Syrup Sugar Shack! | Start-to-Finish Maple Syrup Pancakes on Wood Stove

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.พ. 2023
- First maple syrup boil of the new year at the log cabin maple sugar shack in the woods. The pond update on Chris's channel: • MUDDY Fish Pond Turned...
In this adventure we put our home made maple syrup evaporator to good use by boiling down fresh maple sap into maple syrup and drizzle it over fresh cooked pancakes over a wood stove.
This is about making something sweet from practically nothing, from liquid sap from a maple tree to delicious maple syrup on our wood stove. Over the course of the season we will see just how much maple syrup we can make. To make 1 liter of syrup, we need to collect and boil down 40 liters of sap. This takes a lot of time and patience to boil off most of the water to leave mostly sugar in the syrup.
Spring is really a great time to get outside and catch up on all the missed sunshine and get much needed fresh air and vitamin D from the sun.
We drill in holes in the sugar maples at an upward angle and the sap will flow anytime the temperatures change from below freezing to above freezing. The sap will stop flowing as the season wears on, so timing is critical. The sap starts off really clear, but will be richer and darker as the season goes on.
We filter our sap through a t-shirt, but you may want to use something finer like cheese clothe. We find that the extra stuff just enhances the flavor profile of the final syrup.
To make maple sugar, just keep boiling the syrup and it will boil off all the water leaving just sugar. Syrup forms at 212F or 107C and should be removed, cooled and then stored in tight containers. It can be kept frozen for a very long time, or refrigerated for a few months.
If mold forms, scoop it off and you can still eat it, but the flavor will be off.
Serve fresh maple syrup over pancakes, french toast, or just drink it straight up.
I'll show you how to tap a tree, talk about the right conditions for sap flow, the concentration of sugar in sap, how we collect and boil the sap from start to finish! I'll show you how maple syrup is made using a cheap homemade evaporator!

"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.
Many people ask me where I am from and where I film my projects. I am from Northern Ontario, Canada, and live in an area where off-grinding is easy because I have lots of land to build on and experiment with different buildings and materials. Everything I do is to try to be more self reliant, and to depend less on others. But that doesn't mean I don't like working together with other people on projects. Knowing people who have skills is part of being self reliant, and trading skills is a great way to get more things done! - บันเทิง

Did Chris trap the pancake ingredients or scrape them off the side of the road?
Labor intensive to say the least...lol
Your cabin will stand over a hundred years!!!! Great job 👏 I watched that build !!!
The Amish farms make maple syrup and when it boils it builds up foam and they throw in some butter and the foam disappears and the syrup gets richer and sweeter!
With your elbow , what's happening is the muscle and tendon is developing micro tears from the bone, from over use. (Years of drywalling). The band , supports the muscle and tendon and allows them to heal. This is how it was explained to me when I went through the same thing. Great video!
Yes, and I'm thinking you should wear it for a few weeks at a time so it can heal completely 😉 Not at while sleeping or in relaxed state but definitely ot your doing most things.
Could haven't said it better my self . I used a similar product he did for four year on and off ( over worked tendent )
From the start, Ryan was very helpful and is continuing to be helpful about his th-cam.com/users/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans . Also, they have answered all the questions I have asked & I got outstanding support from his My Shed Plans full package.
The installer did a thorough job installing and had some good tips on how to help preserve the shed. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx8CcyN6o1ejzQFIkabM3kaq93DfYKBg7z The product looks nice, cannot attest to the quality, it has been 3 days.
I vote for the saw-shed. want to do something similar myself so would be nice to see how you tackle that :)
Nothing beats my Saturday morning coffee watching my fav TH-camr - Great to see you back Kev!
Hopefully you'd had maple syrup in the ole' coffee.
@@ModernSelfReliance that's how I used the Maine maple syrup my Mainiac brother gave me last Christmas!
It's always awesome to see the Don and Kevin show, I would love to see this year your largest build on this channel ever, a huge cottage multiple bedrooms multiple levels below and above ground, completely self-reliant from the beginning and off grid.
Such a place that is large enough that your family could retire there and host major friends and family events.
No connection whatsoever to the outside world.
Would you like an attached inside gymnasium?
Yay! Maple sugar time! Watching the process never gets old. ❤️
I'd love to see a vid series where you update us on all of your past builds. How are they holding up? Which get the most use? What kind of maintenance they need, etc.
I'm thinking of it. Perhaps in the height of springtime. It's when things look the best... Very vivid green.
it really makes me wish i had some nice mature maples to poke into. maybe some day ill have some property to make a few little fun things like this
I was missing your videos. So good to see you. That syrup is going to be awesome I'm sure. 👌 I agree with you building the shed for the saw mill first, then the roof over the outside kitchen. Sounds like you have a lot of great projects coming along. Looking forward to all your antics and great projects 👍. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and yours. ❤️ 😃 Cool shout out to "The Outsider", I like his channel also 😀.
Awww bless ❤ Little Bean was with us last year when you did the Maple 🍁 Syrup. Gone, but not forgotten ❤
Love all your content, thank you for another awesome episode.
I think a barn/wood mill should be the priority, it will give you so many opportunities for the future in terms of content and what you will be able to build.
The grain-zeebo sounds awesome but I feel it is something that you could do later, having a working mill could help you build it even better.
Wish you all the best, looking forward to the next episode.
So happy to see you
Yup. We missed you guys. I vote for the shed for the saw mill.
The key to doing this yourself at home is to plan the summer before. Materials become hard to obtain during maple season. Start by identifying your trees while the leaves are still on (see Flag of Canada for example). I started last year with three spiles and expanded this year to nine; a mix of old school metal and new plastic. I LOVE the galvanized nail to pin the bucket up vs. using the hook. That's exactly what i did to expand for this year and I like it even better than the new style buckets with lids integrated into the spile.
The elbow problem is due to the ulnar nerve being compressed. The contraption probably relieves some pressure of the nerve against the bone (elbow). I had to have a surgery for some relief. It didn't really work. We have topical lidocaine at the dollar store I use for instant relief. Hope you feel better. Great, informative vid.
A doctor told me to never agree to any tendon surgery in my arm until I could not open or close my hand. Because that would be all the use I would have after they got done with it due to where and how the tendons were tore. It's been almost fifty years since that advice and I can do more now with less pain than I could then.
I am so happy this morning! I got to watch a fabulous video from one of my favorite youtubers with my coffee!
My suggestion for the next build is the sawmill shed. I would put two walls on the sides that the weather usually comes down the hardest, a loft for dry wood storage, a solar powered fan to blow the dust away from you or a vacuum system to collect the dust and use that in the outhouse, and have a core gravel floor system to keep it from getting muddy.
I'm now going to subscribe to your brother's channel and watch the pond transformation. This way I will also be better informed of why the hell you abandon us for weeks at a time and make us think you're in a ditch somewhere trapped under a log! 🙄🤭
I think the grainzebo will be a beautiful build and I look forward to seeing that this summer. Until NEXT WEEK, 😜 be safe, stay warm, hug those beautiful girls, say hi to Don, and ask your brother if you can post videos on your channel if you do projects together! 😊
✌️💜🐖💨
Sometimes you've gotta help your brother achieve his goals.
@@ModernSelfReliance like a good brother does 😊
I am so glad you're back. I have missed your videos.
Always a good time when the three amigos are together on a project... or just having some pancakes. Enjoy your content Kevin. Do miss Bean though.
Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
You been working your butt off on the pond to so I understand why it's been so long sense the last video. So glad your back! 👍✌️
Suddenly I realized, I'm watching a man eat pizza... And enjoying it 😁! Its the simple things that make life enjoyable
I think sawmill shed is the way to go. You can do the grain bin zebo during the summer while working on the pond.
My uncle had a sugar shack in Bellville, Ohio, spent time there as a kid and will never forget the smell, what a great memory you brought back
Nothing more Canadian than maple syrup! And wood pallets... 😆
I definitely vote for the milling shed for now!!!
Good morning from Minnesota USA!! Great episode! I agree the sawmill house 🏠 should come next.
Yay! So glad to see you again ! Between the two projects I vote for the sawmill house. Because you use wood almost ALL the time. So it would be more useful. Be well!
I really enjoy your videos. Look forward to them every week
Love both projects. The kitchen cover attracts me most but I agree the mill cover is also fun and sounds like it has more practical merits. You’re efficient. Get the mill done than move onto the more fun kitchen project. Loved your childhood memory of the sugar shack. Nothing better than the fun and carefree nature of our youth. I’m expecting my first grandchild and want to help create those same memories for him/her.
I’d like to see the saw mill under cover 😀
Also… I now have an Ecoflow river pro thanks to your channel. Most expensive phone charger I’ve ever purchased 🤪 it is very handy on camping trips though
You'll find new and interesting ways to use it... It's better have it and not need it. Then not have it.
I'm stoked to see the grainbinzebo construction. For those of us in the mid-west US, grain bins are readily available and it seems like a great use of old silos. Also, decision making fatigue is a real thing in today's society. Simplification is beautiful.
Love some Saturday morning Modern Self Reliance ! Welcome back 🙏
I hear ALL The Snow went down to Southern California.
Been missing you Guys too. I'm glad everyone is OK.
I've been wondering about the Pond. So I'll check out your Brother's channel.
Both projects sound super fun, but my vote is for the sawmill cover/barn/shed. Its so satisfying seeing you work a huge log into manageable pieces! This way you'll have more opportunity to make stuff with it and show us!
Yes! I missed you. Your videos help me get going on Saturdays!!!
Best part of the day, watching your videos.
Seems like the maple shack was just started being built and now it's already another syrup season!!
Third Winter. Time just keeps going.
Love to watch maple syrup stuff, love to watch anything about the land 👍👍
Just did my first boil of the season last week! Although the last several days have been wonky weather and the sap hasn't been flowing (Rhode Island). Though there have been some extreme low temps for the area here and there, it's largely been a warmer-than-average season which is hurting production region-wide so far.
I vote for the Sawmill casa.. I can't wait to see the build.
No wonder Wood Beard was late posting this episode, the description alone is a bloomin novel.
Baha.
He does love his words.
sawmill house would be nice to see, love the maple syrup episodes^^
So glad you’re back, Kev!
“I’m not saying it was petrified, just really scared” hahahaha!
Now I want pancakes. I can smell the syrup!
both projects will be great but the sawmill shed next makes the most sense
Great to see you again. I agree with prioritizing the saw shed and the simplification of socks. If you were to place your sap tank higher you could plumb a gravity feed directly to the evaporator. Thanks for sharing. 👍
I vote for the shed over the saw mill. You need that. It will be protection from the elements for you and the saw. Be sure to save $$ for the extension on the mill!
I come for the syrup, I stay for the rambling.
Vermonts “Sugar Bob’s Finest Kind”. Best maple syrup on the planet. No one can possibly understand how incredible the “sap”, which is really just tree water, is amazingly delicious in its own rite. Omg…..you haven’t lived until you’ve tasted it.
It doesn't matter which project you do. Both are good ideas. If I had to choose I would do the sawmill pole barn.
Sawmill shed would be cool to watch!!! Glad you are back!!
Wonderful video Kevin, just love your stuff. I vote for the sawmill shed, but think you should do a colab with Sawing With Sandy for it :)))
Yay!!!!! You're back! My vote goes to the sawmill pole shed! I think saving your mill from the elements is priority! Although I would also like to see the umbrella build....maybe this summer! I also watch the "Outsider" and he's great and has lots of wonderful ideas! Welcome back and don't stay away so long...Thanks!
My personal opinion on what you should build next would be the building for the saw mill. I think that might be a little more important for future builds. But either way great content.
Because you have always worked clean, my mind says you say "...and then, I've got my bucket" @13:52, but my ears are hearing something a little more....street. I can't convince myself otherwise! Love ya, buddy!
+1 for saw mill. To be honest I could watch any of your projects and be happy. Hoping for a return to more frequent videos, but I understand how busy life can be. Big fan of your channel. Cheers.
i never knew maple syrup was like that.. thanks for sharing
Your maple tree identification instructions were freaking hilarious.
I did a pretty extensive one on last year's maple sugar makin' adventure.
Great video! Our family has been making maple syrup for 5 generations. I would love to send you some!!! Connie from Pennsylvania!
Cant wait to see rock trout lake done
as someone who does a lot of woodworking and sawing with a sawmill, i wish we had a shed for our sawmill. we will one day, but if your option is between that and a kinda gazebo thing, i would def choose the sawmill shed first. mostly because if you do it now you will be able to use your sawmill more through the year, but also because you can get your wood cut and ready to do the gazebo thing in the summer. I def think you should do the sawmill shed first.
Suggestion, maybe mount the tote in a fashion to run PVC piping over to the vat, so you don't have to bucket it. A transfer pump from the collection drums into the tote, gravity feed into the vat. JS. Love what ya'll are doing ❤️
Sawmill shed! I'm surprised you haven't done that already. Definitely a priority.
I figured I'd be moving more often...
I spent my teenage years at my cousin's sugar shack. I can still smell of the maple syrup in the forest, 40 odd years later. I vote the sawmill so it is protected from the weather.
Looks like you are having a fun time in the snowy woods, very interesting process.
Hey you’re back, figured you’d be tapping trees. I use the blue 5 gal water jugs from water coolers keep the plastic on the top that stays when you pull it off the cooler and feed tubing from a plastic spile into the plastic on the bottle neck. Bottle stays on the ground. Easy carry, no spilling. No lids, no debris👍 pole barn w a hoist setup? For the mill sounds great.
My guess is the band works on a trigger point to squeeze those which can get rid of tension built up in muscles. Trigger points are the origination or end of a certain muscle. My vote for project is saw mill first to make your outdoor kitchen and many other projects easier in the future. Love the content keep up the fun :)
lumber mill has my vote!!
Oh I’m so happy this video popped up in my notifications. Yes missed you much. Was hoping all was well with you. Which ever job you do I’m here for it either way. I love Watcha got goin on. Thank s for the ride.
Project one for sure protecting the saw milk important
Love the video, as always. Looking forward to both the sawmill and the outdoor roof projects you mentioned. Keep up the great work!
I do believe that is the most Canadian thing I have ever seen-dipping pizza in maple syrup! 🤣🙃😉
"It looks like a beaver, but that's a cedar tree." Yes; indeed, quite interesting.
Pole barn. That saw is worth it's weight in gold.
Saw mill project wood 😂 be great! You would have a roof when you are cuting wood for all other project like the kitchen roof. Your videos are always great.
Yum! Love maple syrup ❤
I had tennis elbow. Kept it wrapped for a whole year to heal it up. Love your projects, which ever one you choose to do first. ❤
The arm wrap temporarily shortens the injured tendon. That allows the injured tendon’s attachment to not work as hard and possibly heal. I’m not a doctor, but I’ve had both tennis and golfer’s elbow that were caused by a damaged ligament, which in the end led to Tommy John’s surgery where they took a tendon from my forearm to resew a lower arm bone to the upper arm bone because my ligament that was supposed to do the job had nearly totally disintegrated.
Yo Kev forgot to tell ya, that sugar shack will never last
Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you all guys. Nice seeing the process.
Really missed you :D Badabing badaboom... that was a chore LOL. Also the pond looks great now good work.
Do your wood mill barn first and then do the roof over the outdoor kitchen. Watch Smoky Mountain Outpost - he has a great shed for his mill. This is why we just love your channel!! You guys archers? I know Ive met you at Fred Foresters archery shop just north of Lindsay Ont.
Great video. I'm glad you posted. Keep them coming thanks
Awesome show thank you for sharing it. Yeppers you guys have been working hard on the fishing 🎣 pond. I know you guys are tired. Have a great day and enjoy the maple syrup
Do both but I’d like to see a shed for the saw mill
Fullstop 👍 good to see you all again, polebarn for the saw mill and storage 👍👍👍👍 and haha to the Nay sayers, sugar shack looks gr8. Nice job team 👏
Finally a new episode! 😁 Looking forward to your pond projects! 😉👀
Glad your back missed you…

Dear trolls and haters,
The cabin has stood for 3 winters
AND it took a hit from a 🌲 tree. It ain't going nowhere !
Kevin and family,
Keep up the good work !
🌲 🌲 🌲
Yep, you got me with the yawn 🥱
I vote for the sawmill project. Love your videos.
Can’t wait to see your perspective of the pond project!!
I used to get tennis elbow from playing frisbee golf and those forearm braces work wonders. They keep your tendons in place so they do not have as much stretching and thus do not get inflamed.
So happy to see you back, Kevin! We missed you!
whatever you do i am sure will be an adventure :) and I look forward to it Love the videos!
I vote for sawmill infrastructure but both ideas sound great. Do the kitchen roof next.
Yay you're here... 🥰🥰🥰
Found your channel thanks to the wooded Beardsman 👍 good stuff!
Welcome aboard!
Your Plasma, just iv it! No sleep tonight for Kevin. That elbow device is similar to the sciatic nerve device you strap around your leg, just under the knee.
