I learned about it from a friend of mine. He is a Canadian/ Norwegian who's father was from Newfoundland. His dad used to brew it by the gallon. It's actually quite medicinal. So I'm told that the addition of Spruce needles will enhance it no end

Isn't it nice when someone says "that's a great piece of kit, where did you buy that", then you can modestly reply "you can't buy it, I made it myself". The moral is, it's amazing what you can achieve if you put your mind to it.

One of the most giving trees.
There is a subtle difference beetween getting jabbed with a needle to draw some blood, and getting stabbed with a broadsword, and getting bled dry...
Victory awaits the one, that has everything in order - luck we call it
Defeat is an absolute consequense for the one that have neglected to do the necessary preparations - bad luck we call it

Well said FishyFolk using birch/maple sap has been done for thousands of years, if done correctly the suffers not long term injury. Some of the maple trees I have seen here have been harvested for 20 years with the tree looking very healthy.
