Thank you for this video. My husband chops our wood at our cabin and I am hesitant about trying. Now I will look for some dry wood logs in our wood shack to try when he is not with me. Best wishes from Alberta.

Good luck mate! At least it's not hardwood, Jarrah can be tough to split.

I like to use a steel wedge to split my firewood.

Man.... That's a lot of work to do by hand. Awesome video. I like all this old school stuff. Thanks

I've been a sea-going sailor since 17 and am over 50 now, so seeing these glimpses into such different lifestyles is really eye-opening. More, please.

Ive been thinking about doing a small batch, I am so glad that I came across this.

Reminds me of the time my grandpa and I visited his friend that made maple syrup. It's damn hard work to create a sizable batch! I hope you're doing well Les, you're a real legend.

Know what goes good with maple syrup? SAUSAGES!

That is good but try BC salmon or fresh biscuit with butter and maple syrup.

I love it with pancakes!

I grew up just north of Carleton place ON. My family and I would tap our tree's and make our own syrup too. Some of my favourite memories are of that.

Great video, It took me a while to learn that it's more about speed and accuracy than brute power. Oh and I guess that rule applies to splitting wood too.

I love how you have a bit of everything on this channel. Looking forward to more bigfoot stuff!

My grandfather used to make maple syrup up in Novar. We would help collect the sap for him so he could boil it down.

It's always amused me how important the wood grain is for a clean split. When I have bonfires with friends, I'll pick the straightest looking pieces to split just to show off

haha same, they are always impressed when i share my secrets too

super cool thnx Lez and Glenn

I do hope this segment continues. The process of a sugar shack is so intense. It's so far beyond boiling sap...

Back in northern MN we used slabs we’d get from the sawmill. Made a great fire to boil the sap.

Love the coat!

Wow. There is a lot to splitting wood. Seems there is lots know about the subtle realm. Bless.

I learned something new...Thanks for that! :)

I will bet that is some fine syrup! He is so picky of the wood he uses to cook it down!! I WANT SOME! LOL.

This is awesome 👏

:43 - :52, is the elixir of life. Especially his self-satisfied look afterwards.

You should go survive for a week with only a jar of maple syrup.

Thank you Canada.

love it

Les did you copyright strike me for my video? all in good fun gotta do something during this pandemic. but a copyright strike? why? not sure if it was automated or not. but I am a huge fan your series. it's not like I get paid for those amazing editing skills.

More director's commentary!!! Thumbs up so he'll see it!!!

The smell of a sugar shack in northern Michigan..is so wonderful. Michigan maple syrup is the best..sorry Maine/Canada

I prefer Vermont or upstate NY.. Course I'm biased I grew up there and made Maple Sugar every year and now my dad still does (though now he uses gravity and lines instead of buckets, but same result. Yummy

There's definately an art to splitting firewood, especially hard wood like Jarrah that I use to warm my home. I wish I could afford cleaner heating but I can't, sorry trees...

Great northern beans and real maple syrup is the 🔥

Where's the syrup??🙄

I’m sure it’s great maple syrup... but I can’t afford it... not with the time he takes just to split the firewood... 😎
