Bless you and your people love to live in a place. Of peaceful out doors

[@ironhorse1096]

I loved listening to this. The fathers tone of voice, his beautiful thoughts and words touched my heart , an honor to be gifted. All of this sharing of the "Old Way" is rich with meaning. Thank you for the one who knew the value in telling the truth.

[@TyK622]

Very moving. We have lost this world to power and greed.

[@valeriad7781]

Agreed

[@nopespray3724]

That's dumb and vague

[@philthycat1408]

We gave it up for technology . And we'll never give that up now. We're controlled by our own greed.

Dan George RIP

[@GrumblingGrognard]

CHIEF Dan George to you boy! ;) I recognized his voice instantly. Loved this guy from the second I saw him on the screen as a kid!

[@damonthomas8955]

What a nice calm, soothing natural glimpse of the world before it went mad.

[@adrianofesta4990]

Excellent video. Gotta lot to learn! Thanx

[@HobbitHomes263]

These stories remind me of my grandmother. She was married at 15 in 1907 and moved into a 12x12 sod house in western Nebraska. She could start a fire on SUnday morning and not use a match again until the following SUnday when she cleaned the week's ashes before SUnday Breakfast. SHe took elk and deer with a single shot from an old worn 30-30 with iron sights until she was 84. SHe new wild edibles and medicinal plants. ANimals, hunting...SHe spilt her own stove-wood and cooked on her old iron stove until well into her 70s even though they could afford a modern gas stove at the time. She always said "Once you lose your ways, you have lost your way". Many "modern" people have lost their way because the old ways were never passed on or the ever increasing desire for modern things made old ways too unproductive. I have always felt that I must not really be here and now. It must be a dream because my heart sings when I see movies like this

[@suomenpunainenristi-laotra3503]

Canada wiil be always on my mind & heart, as well as Québec-Montreal. Great video greetings from Finland !!!!!

[@cabingrub1244]

Hi from Quebec!!

[@littleforest]

Since many years i collect birch sap in spring. I tried to make sirup out of it, but it never really worked. It tasted bad, bit burned and like if it would have gone bad. So, i still drink it fresh and put some liters into the freezer, but watching this movie i got curious to try again. This movie made me curious to try once more - and spring is coming slow by slow.

[@chrisoregan2932]

Thank you

[@captnodge]

I learnt years ago that the silver birch is a pioneering tree The first one to grow

[@francisdoran8992]

Yes it is and white birch and red maple

[@DiviPhotos]

Great video nice

[@sycopath160]

Here in Georgia we tap maple trees. Some to keep the rest to sell.

[@branmar]

When something is gained other things are surely lost. I would not presume to pass judgement on whether or not the price of progress is too high. But is important, it is essential that we document that which is lost, so that one day we might know the true cost.

Boozhoo, Great video

[@SheldonBeldon]

Where all my birches at?

[@greenflames9642]

There is nothing wrong with birch . It is good wood if you know how to use it .But many people dont know how to use it correctly .It is spring elixir known by many .But there is still fools complaining if they dont know ...

[@grigorykudryaschov6641]

Не правильно! Срубить березу ради 8-10 литров сока, там надреза хватит, чтобы 5 литров собрать за ночь и дерево целое.

Can someone tell me the song name, at the beginning of the video? Amazing! I wanted to tap a birch, but... Is it too late now?

What do you do with the tap, just for information. I want to try it.

And then the tree bleeds out because they gashed th hello out of the birch.

[@Irishsaxon]

No josh, when they gather no more they close the gash with mud. It will heel under the mud an stop the leak. I do it that way myself and use the same trees for decades.

[@francisdoran8992]

@@Irishsaxon same with us Josh is wrong

[@MisterDorion]

Josh has no idea what he is saying! His mind is hateful because he does not understand our old ways. We milked the birch and the maple trees as I remember in the 60’s and boy those were the best years. There was a traditional way of life that was simple but fulfilling. Miss those days.

[@sosteve9113]

@@MisterDorion i wouldn't say "hateful" just not educated on this topic,that's why we have to spread our knowledge

First Nations people are the first conservationists. Josh when u slash and cut nothing remains for the following year. Mother Earth provides and one should always treat it with respect. “Only after the last tree has been cut down, Only after the last river has been poisoned, Only after the last fish has been caught, Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten.”- Cree Indian Proverb.

Разве можно так деревья подрубать!?

Можно, они потом землей эти порезы замазывают, и у дерева раны зарастают. Во все времена так делали люди в тайге и делают сейчас.

Are you damaging tree ,what is birch sap for ?try and plant more birch trees .

[@papabones-G48]

@Mary Kann; Natives don't damage what they live off of, only some white man/woman or other races would! Birch sap is for syrup or you can just drink it!

[@waslias]

It doesn't damage the tree, if you do it the right way. There is nothing wrong with "using" nature, if you do it respectfully. You have to live of something, and I think you protect what you live from (usually). I find it beautiful and rewarding, to study and appreciate your surrounding nature, and carefully make use of it, with measure, with love, try to fit in, like animals do.

[@captnodge]

I tapped a birch tree today. Admittedly I drilled a hole because I read that it heals itself ok in no time at all. Next time il do it different It's also year of the tree Bless all trees
