What a doll my seven year old daughter and I very much enjoyed your video.

[@reshad8570]

you are one of the coolest people i have ever seen. alone in nature at the age of 17! congrats becky!

[@johnnylesley5450]

Just came across your channel and I must say it's nice to see a young girl out enjoying the woods. I really enjoy the light way you put knowledge across. Thank you and look forward to seeing more wonderful videos.

[@moegardner1]

I realize this is an older video but this comment may help those who discover this great content now. We use maple mostly for tapping in Canada, a bit of advice, the sap doesn't store well, so use it within a day. I found it starts to get cloudy and ferment or whatever if let to stand. Maybe birch lasts longer. Really enjoying working my way throught these older vids.

[@clairereid6974]

Loved that Becky! So great that you show the importance of plugging up the birch tree afterwards! If only there were more outdoor educated folk like you maid! ❤️🐚

[@3101010]

28:26 when I hear a young person notice the beauty of a sunset I just know its someone who appreciates the moment. What an amazing young lady to have so many useful skills and enjoy nature.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much :))

[@phillips.english1442]

Another great video ! That's a real sweet camp you have there.

[@NorwegianBushcraft]

I have seen some of your videos now, and think you do a good job. Your calm, natural and sensible way of beeing is much appreciated. Keep up the good job there girl!

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much, means a lot. Take care :)

[@jongoodman4622]

wow, in southern Missouri we don't have a lot of birch trees, but if I ever find myself in a woods where there are some I am going to remember what you have just taught me. Thanks.

[@michaelryan5658]

Just started watching your videos. Well done your mum and dad must be so proud off you and your sister. Great videos off Scotland too.keep them coming xx😘

[@alternative.solutions3806]

Awesome video. I really like your campsite. Makes me think of an old early settlers fort.

[@Casey1pj]

Becky, You should ask Dean if he can get his hands on a 1/2 inch drill bit for doing that with. Much less work involved and you will still get a good drip. Awesome job carving that spout. You definitely picked the perfect time of year for tapping. A good way to test if the season is over is by simply tasting the newly acquired sap. It will lose it's sweet taste. The drippings will also look cloudy. I still can't get over the exquisite job you did carving those spouts. Talk about bush crafting at it's finest! Best of wishes to your mother. This was one excellent Solo experience. Never a dull moment. You are AWESOME! Thank you for sharing!

[@YankeesOutdoorAdventures]

Casey1pj definitely my favorite KZbin family of Adventures right here! They never cease to amaze me💪👍

[@Casey1pj]

I am right with you Yankee. I am so glad to have seen these guys take KZbin by the tail and show it what communing with nature is all about. I still remember Becky's first tea party. I knew the minute I watched that video that she was going to surprise the world with her fearless determination to become one with nature. Every video I see just amazes me even more. I actually think that within a year or two, David Canterbury will be wanting to interview her. I am being 100 percent serious brother! It won't be long and I will be taunting him into checking out this awesome phenomenon that is rocking the world! You mark my words my friend. He won't be able to help himself. Becky is one in a billion!

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you so much Casey for both of your lovely comments, you have been a fan since i first started and have always supported me and inspired me to create more videos with your comments. Hope your well and thanks for sharing your knowledge.Take care

[@tedcox4208]

Your little one log stool hurts my Bottom just watching you sit on it. Clever though.

[@alive-readysurvivalbushcra6288]

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much, hope you enjoy tapping the birch trees :) take care

[@anthonysferruzzi]

Thank you for your reply. And the informative update. I really appreciate you taking the time to write.

[@GirlOutdoors]

No worries aha, thank you :)

[@glennraycleanplate8487]

+Girl Outdoors .. Thanks for my first tree tapping lesson. i seen older films where maples were being tapped. In my region of the southwest US we have no trees which to tap for desirable sap. Probably will never be able to put the lesson to use. Was still most interesting to watch and learn. Looking forward to clay oven cooking and the possible kayak trip. Thanks for sharing Becky. Hope Mama Bushwaker gets well soon.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much Glennray, glad you liked the video. Hows that multi tool of yours getting on aha! Thanks again and take care

[@glennraycleanplate8487]

Me and the multi-tool get along great. Truly one of my most prized possessions. I'm slowly getting together some other tools and supplies and putting together an emergency preparedness kit. Thanks again Becky. It's an awesome tool. Atb

[@hntspade]

Another nice soli video! It's always nice to get away on your own from time to time and relax and reflect on how many blessings you have. Tapping the trees was a nice bit of information for a real survival need. Keep up the great work and look forward to your next video. Prayers for you mom and hope she feels better.

[@GirlOutdoors]

[@charlieruiz3109]

So you do your homework very good. It's so cool to see a young lady out in the woods and comfortable with it. Your Father and Mother must be so happy with you.

OK I've never seen this tree tapping process. Never even thought to associate it with bush-crafting but makes a loft of sense. Cool stuff.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you :)

[@matthewstudholmebrown1943]

brilliant what a good time you had.keep it up your doing fantastic

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much :)

[@smallestJustice]

Thanks, youtuber, Becky for clear demonstration how we can collect Mother Nature blowsome at outdoorers when about this time of year. While we can situate camp site, Maybe one of camper go out set the chestnut tree contribute campers with sap which I believe organic energy drink. Before you do fill up that tap, I presumably thought about that. And nicely done filling up crevice to where it were. Yes, It’s spring time we often have hiking or camping at outdoor, it is very practical way to keep our body fluid; hydrate. Oh, by the way when your school starts, you look weary. I can see you grabbable waist and healthy dimples. Keep it up, Becky.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you for your informative and lovely comment, much appreciated. Take care :)

[@williampysell2819]

Very good video! I always look forward to your new releases! I really like your lean-to shelter. It looks pretty cozy and secure. What I would give for a partner (girl) like you who enjoys the outdoor world. Keep up the good work! You have a thorough knowledge of the woods and bush-crafting!

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much, thats very kind. Glad you like the lean to.

[@wild_outdoors_uk2016]

Great video Becky. Love tapping birch for the sap. Keep them coming :) jay

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you Jay, yeah its great fun

[@CrankyPantss]

Very well done. Great job with tapping the birch trees, and the funnels that you made worked perfectly. I'm so glad that you were taught to put the plug in afterwards. There's so much disrespect for nature out there by people who just don't care, but you've been taught well. Thanks for taking us along with you. I hope your mom is feeling better.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much, yeah i agree there is not much respect for nature, a few weeks ago i saw a huge beach tree and somebody had built a fire right next to it and burnt a huge hole inside. So horrible to see. Thanks again

[@pyroshaun1990]

Your camp is so dope, pretty jealous ngl, your videos are so relaxing.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much that's very kind of you :)

[@donc.3767]

I want a girl like this for a daughter. One that will put me in a lean-to in the forrest, rather than into a nursing home when I get old... . Girl Outdoors - Recently carlisle 195 has put up some videos of building a clay kiln and while it's now taller than you, the first few times he and his friend used it, it was about the size yours is now. It might be worth checking out his videos on it.

[@cabinlife2347]

very nice video, it's a real treat tapping a few trees just for fun, and the reward is so worth it eh? Try cooking some down next time and see what kind of syrup you get. Our birch and maple trees are almost ready to tap, the days aren't quite warm enough to drive the sap up and down.... yet. We hope to tap about 10 or 15 trees for syrup this year. Since it takes about 40 litres to make one litre of syrup .. it takes a lot of wood and time to cook it down.... but yeah, soooo worth it. cheers Becky. Glenn & Maureen. PS. we hope your mom feels better real soon.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Hi Glenn and Maureen, your plans sounds great with tapping the trees, bet the syrup will tastes lovely. I had a right crack at tapping the birch trees here. Good luck and enjoy tapping the trees, thanks for watching guys :) take care

[@tkaald]

My grandfather taught me birch tapping about fifty-five year ago. I recall he added a wee bit of sugar and yeast and made a rather potent birch wine.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Ooo lovely, sound nice! Great skill to learn :) take care

[@stevetaylor8446]

There you go me little mate...a step further than me! Never tapped a birch before... loving the Ray Mears funnel too! Great video Becks

[@GirlOutdoors]

Thank you very much Steve, was my first time and found it great fun! Would defo try it, tastes alright as well. Take care mate

[@stevetaylor8446]

Girl Outdoors checked the birches earlier... Monday! Will let you know what I think lol. Chat soon Becks

[@MADMOJO0]

eating from the frying pan is the best saves on washing up and keeps the food hotter for longer

[@sibarra417]

Very Good Job on making your own Sheath

[@bornthatwaytocamp6193]

Unfortunately where I live in Virginia we do not have Birch trees native to my area. We do have lots of pine so fat wood is here for fire starting. We do have maple trees so we can tap those and make maple syrup. One county over from me they have a two week maple festival. We headed to it next week. Love your channel and watching you grow in your knowledge. I am teaching my granddaughter many of these things. She is only 10 but loves to head to the woods with me for camp outs and learning things. I show here your channel when she comes for a visit.

[@GirlOutdoors]

Ah thats a shame but at least you have a lot of pine trees they have multiple uses also. Aw nice, bet that festival is good, the syrup must taste lovely. Enjoy! Thank you very much glad you like my channel, love that hope you grandaughter stays with it. Take care

[@Bushmanschool]

thank you

[@GirlOutdoors]

[@davidcox2264]
