As a Kiwi I have to say that genuine Maple Syrup is an extremely rare item in New Zealand.
As-opposed to -Maple-flavoured Syrup-: which is as common as hydrogen.
The only time in my life I ever sampled genuine Maple syrup, my eyes nearly fell out of my head, because it was so intensely sweet, the nerves in my teeth stood on edge.
But I thoroughly enjoyed it. Genuine Maple Syrup sells here in the local supermarket for about -19. 00 per 500ml bottle, whereas the -Maple-flavoured syrup- sell for about -7. 00 per bottle. The taste difference between the two is more vast than the mere price differential.
Thank you and your family for this, and the various other extremely interesting videos of yours that I have thus-far watched and enjoyed.
Kind and Respectful Regards, Uyraell, NZ.

so in modern terms, though just like salt from oceanwater it taking ages, it still is highly valuable to use indeed due to indefinate shelflife, and more so as a preservative, though saltwater boils off faster and honey is allot easier to get even when not cultivating. trapping bees costs little to no calories, most burned in construction of a hive. then little is spent in checking and searching a wild colony. once you have 1 hive though you can split each hive once or twice a year. once a hive is set up you only have to check once a week for bugs praying on them. in a bad year you can easily get 50 to 80kg of honey per hive. so id defo go with that.

I would gather but then I have much experience in Maple syrup production. It has been a family business for decades, maybe centuries! I have gathered buckets for my cousins many times. My father's cousin especially. He was well known in my area as a top notch draft horseman and we used teams of Belgian drafts many times. It is VERY labor intensive, even with the use of tubing. And the fuel! My Father's cousin had/has his own natural gas well and had custom burners and trays made. That cut his cost but not the labor! Solid info, enjoy your videos more than 99% of the others out there!

as you said in the video its not conducive to a survival situation but more to an established camp and long-term living situation to add variety and flavor and to improve moral through a sweet treat. but once Europeans arrived on the scene it would have been economical (guns and black powder would have made the effort worth it, the time saved from hunting could then be used else where and instead of large hunting parties one or two hunters could do the same freeing up more people to harvest the maple sap) to trade syrup and maple sugar to them for guns and other trade items.

I have to admit I thoroughly enjoy your style of presentation and video content. The monologue with the pertinent content link perfectly.
With that said, there is a high degree of asymmetry in your pancake production. Given, the end product is just as delicious, but the visual presentation doesn't match up with one's expectations of circular, puffy-fluffy goodness that is depicted on the pancake batter box (serving suggestion.
In closing, I must ask if maple syrup would make the Lilly pad root (rizome) palatable?

Mr beardsman I just had an idea. I have been out lately collecting large amounts of black berrys as they come in season in my area in Washington. I have three gallon batches of brandy going along with jam and pies. I am planning to try making a syrup as well and they thought struck me: if maple syrup can be reduced down to a sugar, perhaps black berry syrup can be reduced into a sugar? I'm not sure if the sugar content is correct to try this but what are your thoughts?

Just found this. Excellent video. We have made maple for 13 years after my son came home from school and suggested we make our own. We tap 200 trees now and use the 20-25 gallons we make for gifts. People who understand the process appreciate the gift. We're traditional with buckets, wood burning evaporate and cloth filters. It's a very satisfying experience.
Take care, Al

I might be the only person alive that doesn't like maple syrup much, but watched the vid anyways. Was hoping to see primitive ways of collecting syrup for survival living, but good video none the less. Wonder if sugar was a sort of drug to the Native Americans at the time with their diets? Should it be compared to modern day Meth or Cocaine rather than food?

Clearly not the way to get carbs. I think if you look back at history, man got carbs from roots (E. g. potatoes or cassava) or grains (e. g. corn, wheat, millet, rice. This had to be a treat, or a trade item, things that are Post-survival. Great analysis of the things that -people say- and it really puts some history in context.
