Building a $5 Maple Syrup Evaporator worth THOUSANDS! (for the off grid cabin)

I turn an discarded old oil drum reservoir normally used for home heating into a wood boiler, evaporator which I will use turn sap into delicious maple syrup. We have some fun with knives from Acejet: https://www.acejetofficial.com/

I will also cut down more dead pine trees that are on my 40 acre property to build a sugar shack that will house a maple sap boiler so we can enjoy some delicious maple syrup in the spring.

With the help of my chainsaw, I'll cut down all the overgrown and shaded out dead pines which I will cut into log to build a sugar shack. The pines in this replanted forest are fat too overgrown and have been grossly mismanaged. The trees should have be cut and thinned nearly a decade ago. Removing the dead trees is a good start to rehabilitating the forest. Later, we will thin even more and get the forest ready for replanting and rejuvenating.

In this first part, we will mostly be cutting trees and then getting the site chosen. It's a lot of tree felling, and hauling to get our raw materials.

"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.
