    Let me 1st say thank you to NATO, your comrades, and you for your service, dedication, and sacrifices. I am a professional wilderness survival writer and just wanted to add a couple of tips. A slightly larger, deeper hole, and at an elevated angle would increase the rate of flow of the water from the tree, and I would also do this lower to the ground, maybe 2 feet from the base. You can also use a porous rope and insert it inside the hole to use as a wick and put the other end of rope into the GI Canteen. Although, least from what I know of North American trees, the White Birch tree is the only tree with drinkable water that can be harnessed by this method, but one could also use this setup on a Maple Tree for the sap. I would point out that it would be best to bring the sap to boil to kill any bacteria, but you will not only get hydrated but also get in some calories. I personally would even throw in some pine needles for extra nutrients while you are bring the sap to boil. (note, maple syrup is reducing this sap to 1/20th- 1/40th, which is not what one is doing here. You are simply bringing this to a boil to kill bacteria, and not reducing it for 12 + hours to make Maple Syrup)) There are also certain vines that one can cut to drink from like Grape vines for example. The rule of thumb, if the vine has clear liquid it is safe, if it has color to it, run like the wind.

    Maple sap is safe to consume as is you only boil it to make syrup but yes if you are afraid of possible bacteria it would be wise to let it boil for a sec and throw in some bitch leaves for tea for some extra vitamin c

    Correct! Helpful information. Alesh also mentioned that using the birch tree leaves for tea provides vitamin C. That was the first time I tasted the water from a tree! I figured I would film it live so that you could see my natural reaction to it. It tasted really fresh and slightly sweet. Kind of like nectar.

    It's a sap not just a water. One importnant thing to mention - since it's a sap it will begin to ferment after a few days.
