In Quebec, Canada, this province is the world's largest producer of maple syrup. The Native people and the early Ukrainian pioneers to the prairie provinces in Canada made birch syrup from birch trees. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers! ✌️

The drip faucet set up was very smart. Can't believe you waited so long to try it! Grew up back east and maple syrup making was a big deal. Close neighbors and I swap homemade treats for Christmas. One older lady gives store bought pure organic maple syrup.

If you're going to drill into the tree and use drill bits into your homemade tree sap valve make sure you clean the tools that you're using to drill into the woods and tree with rubbing alcohol so it kills germs and doesn't cause a disease for the tree which can happen very easily but people don't care because they think it's just a tree don't just use oily drill bits and unclean drill bits and wood

Living in a tropical country like here the Philippines will make you wonder how does maple syrup taste like. I enjoyed watching your long video, and it's educational and relaxing though. By the way, it's rare to find a vlogger with double dimples ☺️. Keep it up and kudos to your work!! 😉

By the way I don't live in Oregon I live outside of the Antarctic ice wall where few have figured out how to get to

Yeah that's a good idea but whether you can taste it or not the smoke it's going to affect the flavor in boiling process of the syrup even if it tastes like it's really good syrup that smoke doesn't evaporate and does get boiled into the syrup a little bit what's the weather people believe it or not so it would be better to try to have a boiling system for the smoke doesn't doesn't have contact with the top of the syrup that you're boiling because I guarantee that smoke is hitting the top of that boiling syrup share list which can possibly it's not done boiled down syrup and cause it to have a smoky flavor if not careful

Don't hang the bucket of a hook your just adding a hole that has to heal. Save holes for tapping.
