    You can also just drink the sap water. We take a birch branch, bend it down, pinch off the buds, rubber band a plastic bag over it. The sap fills up the bag. No, NOT a gallon worth... but it can be done with small trees or even saplings. We use it as a spring tonic... drink it as is.

    The ability to inhale... without worry about freezing your lungs, also a huge plus! :clap

    C.c.c c.cold Been deep cold long enough now, that the cold has settled into the house. We just have NOT been good at keeping the stove blaring a full 100% of the time... which is needed at these temps. Highs of 5.

    Truth. Flipping the switch is so easy... but it takes a bunch of work to make those things work....
