When I was 8 or 9 we were living in Beloeil Quebec. This was around the centennial, 1967. It was not unusual for us kids to outfit ourselves and traverse a dangerous train tressel bridge, crossing the Richelieu River, to get to Mt. St. HIllaire, an extinct volcano As we made our way up the winding mountain road there were often Sugar Camps where locals made maple syrup. A sideline for these habitants was also a still. They had no problem selling us kids a bottle of distilled spriits for a dollar. One of our neighbours was the famous 'Gump Worsley, a goaltender for the Habs. Back then a Hall of Fame goaltender had to have a job in the off=season, and the Gump was a salesman for Seagrams. His son Dean was one of my pals and always came on these camp outs We would build a camp, strip down to our shorts and sit around the fire, passing the hooch. Hard to believe this could happen today. Quite often my mother did not even know that I had been away for a couple of days. The maple sugar making reminded me of that.

My son who is six is very concerned with the amount of coffee you drink. he says that you should just go into town and buy a lot of Gatorade.
We are new to following you but we're really digging it!

Love the video, big thumbs up! Gotta say though I enjoyed the clips of you working without the music and just the sounds of the bush rather than the music. Cheers!
