      No problem! For this year, we are going to make a special barrel stove customized for evaporating sap. We’ll do a video on it, and we hope we’ll get a lot more syrup this year!

    I enjoyed every minute of that...thanks. I just bought a half gallon of CANADIAN Maple Syrup....thank you Canada. My Mom was born in Morse. Sask.....I am so proud of that. I get my syrup from Amazon. Merry Ann from Minnesota

      Merry Ann Mac that is awesome and thanks for the great comment! I know Maine and Vermont are big into the sugaring too and 76% of all Maple Syrup is made in Canada and over 80% of that is made in Quebec, so it’s the French Canadians that are the real experts of the craft.

    good stuff do mine on the wood stove inside takes a while but very satisfying beautiful family thanks Jim

    • @JimBairdAdventurer
      @JimBairdAdventurer  Před 5 lety

      We did our first bit on the wood stove but it took to long. Inside of you’re doing a big boil down you can get sticker steam everywhere. When I’m doing a smaller amount that I need to watch carefully, I do the last bit of boiling indoors. The BBQ is good too.

    • @JimBairdAdventurer
      @JimBairdAdventurer  Před 2 lety

      Thanks, ya it works! We’ve gone to a barrel stove evaporator set up that we made and we have a video up here on its construction. It’s more efficient than this but honestly, this was some of the best tasting syrup because of the infused smoky flavour after filtering the ash out.

    • @JimBairdAdventurer
      @JimBairdAdventurer  Před 4 lety

      It definitely is. For this sugaring season, I’m going to custom make a barrel stove so that the pans fit right into the top of it and we’ll speed things up a lot.

    It's always great seeing a family together doing neat things outdoors.
    Your backyard river is the best backyard I have ever seen, and this is coming from someone who had a backyard creek while growing up that everyone was jealous of (which my Mom still has). Your backyard is absolutely gorgeous!
    Thanks for sharing this video, and I look forward to more.

    outdoors skills. Good mate to have. Godspeed.

      Steve Ferrell ya she’s pretty awesome and isn’t scared of hard work. The maple sugaring thing is pretty big in a good portion of Canada and you can buy everything you need to for the process at the local hardware store.

  • @pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358

    Look at Tori swinging that ax like a pro... awesome!
    When you said wood stove, my first thought was that you wouldn't get enough heat to boil... you figured it out.
    I guess that the Canada juice is the reward for all the hard work it takes to get a little jar of the goodness. TFS

      Triumph Screen Printing it is a lot of work for only a little Syrup but it’s so fun to do. Tori is defining food with the axe. We hand split 23 face cords this past fall and she did a ton of splitting.

    What an awesome backdrop to have while doing all of your outdoor activities! Sap didn't run too much this year in central Maine. I remember my mother pouring hot maple syrup over clean snow to make a yummy instant maple candy. Really enjoy watching your adventures!

      Ty Fannin I should actually, I char with Zach fairly regularly and what he’s doing with his channel is pretty awesome. My wife and I figured, why not start filming the stuff we do around here. It’s kind of a behind the scenes / our day to day lives when I’m not on one of my big trips.

      @@JimBairdAdventurer and that type of stuff is perfect to fill in when not tripping and to also make it easier on you if its stuff you're already doing around home. I love that stuff.
      Zach is making some great videos (some are over produced though) but he's great, great skills, and funny.
      I admit I watch far too much CZcams.
