Grimbo;s woodsmans; tea

[Devoti]

i'm impressed, you gotta be real good to get birch sap out of a pine tree. nice job.

[TheFunnyCunt]

mate that tree at the start looks more like a pine tree than a birch

[AtrasMateria]

maples look nothing like that, what are you speaking of?

[flamedrag18]

that is not a birch at the start of the video, that's a maple, and looks to me like a sugar maple, but most maples look the same unless you look at the wood color and slight differences in the bark when up close, but I'm 100% sure it's not a birch.

[wolfbushcraft]

23 years as a woodsman myself tells me it is indeed a birch..

[skillsofold]

Aaahhh! Cheers,Mate! I think many of us will be

drinking plenty of Pine Needle Tea,especially now

that we have a major Influenza epidemic looming

over our heads! A wise man by the name of

Michael Savage (PhD in Epidemiology) says to

increase the intake of Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)!

[wolfbushcraft]

we have rosehips here in the uk,the vit c content is very high..

[corruptiblelogistics]

I understand the benifits of pine needles, but what does the birch sap do for the body, Grimbo?

[wolfbushcraft]

it isbrill for the liver digeston kidneys and it has potential anti cancer qualities..

[corruptiblelogistics]

Ah good stuff!

[hobbexp]

my little girl always asks for this, every time we go hiking, backpacking. it always makes me smile to hear such a young kid knowing so much about the out doors. oh yea, she also asked me for a hawk and a bear for pets. she says they van help us find the best spots to camp at. kids!

[wolfbushcraft]

when we are young we know more,then we loose it,and try to get it back when we are old..

[atomdongle]
