Maple Syrup & Firewood at the Off-Grid Cabin

- Опубликовано: 27 ноя 2024
- We're only a few days away from spring and that means it's almost time to wrap up syrup season. We are on our second boil of the year and ended up with an additional 14L to add to the 20.5 L we got from the first boil.
We have optimal sap weather for the next 10 days and we're hoping for enough sap to do another 20L of syrup, which would bring our grand total to 50L.
Today we decided to take advantage of the mild weather and split wood while the sap boiled. We blocked up a maple tree earlier this winter and now is the perfect time to split it. We finished with 1 bush cord, which means another 7 or more to go!
Follow the link below to check out our website, syrup will be added at the end of the season, in approximately two weeks!

If my grandpa would still be alive and he would see all those wind fall trees, he'd be in seventh heaven. He had a 40×60 pole shed, and almost half was filled with firewood.
Thanks for watching!
Looks like the tree's ran well ! Very different spring some were making syrup the end of Feb , the sap was running 3 weeks early, When you get done this years wood you should always try to get at least another half a years worth done then you breath so much easier & you can cut when you want not when you have too :) Then firewood is fun !
That would be ideal. We have so many things to get done this year I’m not sure we’ll have time for next years wood too! Haha
Wow I really enjoy the music you're playing here. Set back relax by the fire
Glad you enjoyed it!
The dynamic duo.
You two crack me up! What a great team !
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Nice work you two! Just found your channel and enjoyed seeing the process. I have been optimizing the maple syrup boiling at our off-grid cabin (Upper Michigan) and sharing what I learn here on YT. I looked into wood consumption and now we use 1/4 of what it used to be and get about 10 gallons (38 L I think) finished syrup per 3/4 face cord. Reverse Osmosis helps a lot but a simple DIY variable speed blower (you can run off power tool batteries) saved quite a bit of wood too and sped things up. I look forward to seeing your setup evolve - it is an addictive hobby! Cheers!
That’s neat! We continue to add more taps each season, we’re eventually going to have to look into RO for efficiency !
Can’t believe just how much sap you are getting! Looks like a bumper year for you. ❤
The sap this year is flowing so well! 🍁
Another cool video! I like making stuff out of wood discs too. Im sure you know but your discs are cut perpendicular to the trunk, If you cut them at a 45 degree angle to the trunk you will get an oval disc with the bark angled. I make charcuterie boards from them. Alot of them crack in the drying process.
good to know! Some of ours cracked too
🖐😎👍
We always use the splitter in the vertical position. One person sits on a full log and operates and the other person rolls in full logs to the operator. No lifting!
Much better for your back! 🪵
It's a lot of work.. but oh so tasty !!!
The best syrup! 🍁
Be nice if you could a 4 way splitting attachment to cut your workload down. Be nice to have trays on ur splitter.
I did it, the it is firewood. for room and board, and it for about 6 years we were splitting and selling firewood to pay the bills, I'm not kidding we did on average 6 chords a month. And of course I was about 25 years younger. What I'm trying to say and having a difficult time doing it is I watch you guys process firewood and it just brings back really good memories, I really like your content I love your porches what a good idea.
Jeff how many red heads did u see in the flock of Turkeys
Honestly, i didn't take note. Thanks for watching!
Hi, my name is Matt and I am in the states Michigan to be exact and I want to know how I can buy some of your syrup. I've been watching you for about couple months now. And I would love to actually see you soon. Other products you have besides this syrup. So if you could please point me in the right direction or give me a website to go to so I can see your products and by syrup. I wish I was close enough to you to buy some eggs. I mean, I do have a local person but I always like to support people on RUclips like yourself and I would love to do that but for some other products you have and I know I've been hearing Holly talked about him and you have stuff in stores. Show I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, Matt from Michigan.
Hi Matt, we will be posting syrup on our website at the end of the season, which is approximately 2 weeks. You can check out the website at www.living-different.com
@@living.different Hi Holly, this is Matt from Michigan. I just went to your website. Living differently, which you directed me to. And to be honest with you, my wife already has a list of soaps and other stuff that she wants to order. But but we're going to do is wait until the syrup comes available in order. Everything at once. I think you for giving me your website. And I look forward to using your products in the very near future. Thanks, Matt for Michigan.
listen that and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz sleep
Holly what was the name of your solar lights and where did u get them, thank u
Solar lights? Do you mean the panels?
@@living.different no the solar lights that u upgraded to from the propane lights
How do you sell all of that Maple syrup?
We don’t sell all of it, we keep a lot for ourselves. Some will be available on our website at the end of the season in about 2 weeks
Sharpen the saw please lol
It is a bit dull, but for some of the cuts i was trying to go slow and straight for the slabs i was cutting.
if you burnt over 6 cord of wood you might want to invest in some insulation
Our house is 123 years old, there is no insulation in it . We just moved here and there are many things that need work
~tyfs~!
Thanks for watching!
