    Syrup from the Twin Cities

    Ive got lots of birch at the hunting shack in various states of decline. Ive heard as high as 100:1 for birch syrup and has to be cooked at a simmer vs a rolling boil. I think ill just buy it

    Syrup from the Twin Cities

    Boxelder is often reported to have butterscotch tones for flavor. I dont know general ratios for boxelder. Lots of reports of high sugar content (4%) with our odd spring in the TC metro. Trees are flowered and still producing "clean" sap. Its a weird year for syrup

    Very Honest Arborist Podcast

    Many of the older guys are broken and barely making it to retirement without physical issues but the retirement/healthcare is kind of rigged to keep you working. It has me rethinking it as a career path. 100k up here was more than enough until 5 years ago. Fact of the matter is no trade is...

    Tree Work Vehicles

    Snowplowing/blowing rates

    Snow hauling and blowing back piles is a service but mostly must be done at night. I always hated plowing. Id suggest plowing just enough to get to the next day of tree work. A 6" dump of snow is no fun to go trudge through and navigate trucks/equipment either. Its all work...

    Echo DCS-2500T

    The battery on mine does NOT like the cold. 20-30*f and it wants to give up, even with leaving it in the truck while setting up etc. Otherwise very happy with it.
