I don't know about maple, but in terms of birch you can just snap off a twig and mount your bottle on the remainder with some string, then leave it overnight. Much, much easier and infinitely less stressful for the tree. The drill method probably yields more at a time, but anyway... Good videos, man. I like your style. Informative, concise, good vibes and last but not least no advertisement/promotion/plug schemes going on. Love it!
I never heard of that, thanks! Sounds like a good compromise and feels better, not hurting the tree in the process as much. He may recover from a drill in the stem too, as I would from just a little stab with a knife Oo, but it´s nice to avoid stuff like that ;) Cheers buddy
Thanks, Cody, good tips. Who knows, maybe someday this could save my or another viewers life or at least keep from going thirsty or catch some nasty bug from having to drink contaminated water. Keep up the good work, you are much appreciated.
Great info to have - thanks for sharing. I’ve seen a similar technique used on wild grape vines. Just cut a small notch in the vine and set a bottle underneath.
It has been a while since I brought him out with me. One of my filming locations is actually where I work part time. (488 acres) and the land owner loves that I film there. So I would usually do it after I finish what I'm doing which is why I didnt have him as much. Lately I've been bringing him with me as long as I'm not operating any machinery.
Can you use fruit trees like cherry etc. I live in Philadelphia Pa. All our water is contaminated recommended not to drink or boil! I’m extremely thankful for your efforts to spread knowledge on how to make people more self sustainable.
Wtf are you talking about? (Your tap water, as delivered by the Philadelphia Water Department, is safe and does not need to be boiled in order to drink it. Boiling water increases the risk of scalding or burns.)
I just watched the video from 4 years ago. I'm glad to watch this one now. It's like watching a caterpillar become an older caterpillar. Turgor pressure by the way.
One of the reasons I remake some of my older videos. I might learn something new. Or I can pack the same amount of information into a shorter video making it more viewer friendly.
@@mattmarzula I like mixing it up. I know some people like "lean back" style videos and I know some people like cut to the chase fact fact fact videos. Trying to balance out the demographics and bring in more followers. I have really big dreams for this channel especially now and if I can bring in enough revenue to make the videos I want made to happen then itd be perfect. I'm already working with my local fire department on a future video. When it will get shot and released is completely unknown
Apparently people only need 30g protein per day, so scrounging up two the required two tablespoons of animal fat may be more difficult if using insects as the base. However, more than 60% of protein is reduced to glucose during digestion, so it may actually be 75g of protein needed and on ants which is about 80% protein, that amounts to 94g of ants. At 2% body fat, 94g of ants would yield less than 2g of fat, a significant shortfall.
Beautiful ending shot. All that gunfire in the background makes me wish I were American. Now to translate everything to Southern Hemisphere... I didn't realise this wouldn't work in summer. We have a lot of pine/conifers and native trees like Pohutukawa, Manuka/Kanuka, Kauri, etc... so I guess I'll just have to experiment when I'm out innawoods 🤔
I live near a outdoor firing range. I'm not sure where you are but I have a guess that you might have water vine if you are in a sub tropical or tropical environment.
Aren't you already on the internet? You can drink this stuff all day every day. Once you boil the sap though, the syrup will be hard on the kidneys if over consumed. www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=nordicfoodlab.org/blog/2013/5/tree-sap-seasonally-available-pulse&ved=2ahUKEwjBirvh6JroAhXEwqYKHRLdD_UQFjAKegQIAhAB&usg=AOvVaw2sO-pEFz2_PjkZkfPLHzc5
Given that oak trees arent a tapped tree I wouldn't go that route. I live in virginia. We have river birch along basically every consistent amount of water. Wild grape vines are another good alternative for water at the moment and they grow all over the place. I will do a video on one on the coming weeks
