Right on dudes . I learned a little bit more about the birch . Jeeze i thought i knew alot . What a crazy tree. The per purposes lol I'm too french to spell that word.wana boozooo would be proud

For less work on the hide, and a better looking carcass, try peel the hide before you gut. Takes 5 minutes. Basicly, make you opening cuts and from the asshole to chin, chest to hooves, cutting the front legs along the front of them, asshole to hooves , the back legs along the back side of them to the hooves. Then use your hands and peel the skin from the meats and fats, leaving the fats and connective tissue on the animals and a clean hide with no blood on the flesh side. Ive done thousands of Caribou this way over the last 35 years and its the fastest, easiest, cleanest way to do it.

So sad you aren’t making more videos. Great stuff !

Looking to net my first hooligan this year :) Thanks for the instructable.

Lol the bark grows back 5 years, if it wasn't intended for us to take it wouldn't be there.

No es necesario quitarle la corteza al árbol, existen otras técnicas sin dañar la naturaleza.

I dont think he realizes that the gut bag has to be taken out within minutes of the kill or the meat will taste like the gut smells, also he is going about it wrong.

Dene ppl could skin it better lol

The orange hat guy is just . *Chef's kiss*

I hope you are well, and will share new video with us soon!

meat eater sucks balls, this is the real stuff

Hi, this is the best vid on sustainable birch bark harvesting I have ever seen, but I have a question. if I wanted to harvest from a live standing tree, is the trick to leave the corky cambium layer intact? Can or should you harvest the entire perimeter of bark? I believe it does not matter. Thanks for the detailed video.

I like your sustainability practices

Nice video, thumbs up :)

Your cutting it wrong

Brilliant. Used this in a lesson plan. Miigwetch!

Lifelong AK granny, just took my first ‘bou. Great info!

Winter bark is best for echting.

Early summer is the best time to harvest off live trees. Well... the bark comes off the easiest but the bugs will eat you alive.

First video of how to take the organs out also are you putting the meat in trash bags?

I have watched a half-dozen other tutorials on harvesting birch bark, and yours is the only one that THOROUGHLY covers the process, from A to Z. Thank you!

please make more of these!!!

And I thought they smelled bad on the outside

Awesome job!!

You have to plug it up at the end by whittling the end of a stick so the tree does not get infected (I think)

Brian, This is the first of your videos that I have seen. All these years since you had not only the dream in high school, but also the skill set. I was a bit surprised to see the electric drill, rather than something you had hand-knapped, for drilling the hole, but then you made the birch bark tap, and I saw that you still have the old-school skills. Good to see you still have the same enthusiasm I remember.

Does it taste like Honey?

Haha!😆
