Yay Tori! I am subscribed and look forward to seeing the Baird's Family life through your eyes. I was hooked on the last family overland and canoe trip because of the very real emotional experiences you shared with us on camera. I love being outside and doing small bush craft projects and short camping adventures, so I am all in with your channel. Good luck and, like all youtubers, you will learn as you go.
We are so excited that you have your own channel... My wife and I think you are great and the best thing that has ever happened to Jim... Ron and Diane
Tori! So happy to see you on your own channel! We watch you and Jim and Huddy and Wesley and North all the time. We really enjoy your videos. Jim is amazing but YOU are really extremely amazing! You work so hard to care for your family! You are wonderful! We will follow your channel diligently. We love Jim’s as well. Your two children are so cute and funny you are so lucky. Look forward to watch both channels. Thank you Tori!
I just LOVE that you´re making you're own channel! I've been watching Jim's channel for a couple of years now. Really enjoy his own achievments but love the videos of the whole family, with you making a big contribute (and the kids ofcourse). Looking forward to new stuff from you! Big love from Sweden!
Hi Tori We're still in sap season here in Northern MN. Our temps dipped back below freezing so the sap is frozen in the bags yet. I love this time of year! We use a barrel stove and finish off the syrup in the house once it cooks down and is just about ready to finish.
I whole heartedly agree with you!! Maple syrup season is such a wonderful time of year. Thrilled you are able to do this and make your own syrup for you and the family!!! Looking forward to following your channel!! Thank you for sharing of yourself, your family and your time! 💞
When stringing tubing , take thermos bottle of hot water with you and dip the tubing end in the hot water for a few seconds and it will push onto the spile easier .
Hey Tori we are so happy you have your own channel now! We love watching you and your beautiful family. Both yours and Jim’s content is the best thing in you tube You are AMAZING Your children are so lucky to have all these amazing experiences
Nice video Tori! Love to see the whole family hanging out together. Wish I were there to help you boil it down, but soon you’ll have another body with the little “joiner” Huddie!
You and Jim are so blessed to be living where you are, the area is beautiful ❤️❤️. Thanks for starting your own channel, I am looking forward to more adventures involving your daily life activities with the kids❤️❤️
8:40 both parents alternately calling out toddler's name who is wandering away with nary a single acknowledgement seems to be a universal experience hahaha
Great job Tori ! I have watched so many of your family trips & many of Jim's adventures & now watching you getting ready for the big cookoff , Maple syrup :))
We go to a maple farm every year for buckwheat pancakes and fresh maple syrup. We buy different grades to use for special occasions. You’re a beast though Tori! Looking forward to more videos.
We could have tapped in late January here in West Michigan! We tapped on February 19th and were done as of about a week and a half ago. Noticed today the Sugar Maples have buds already!! Crazy year for sure!
Awesome video. Love your new channel and I definitely love watching maple syrup time. Hudson is getting so big and learning to help more and more. Good luck on your new channel and hope it does well. Don’t overdo your work load because you already have a lot on your plate
So exciting. I grew up in western New Hampshire and went out on a horse drawn wagon to collect sap on a neighbor’s property many times as a kid. He had a big out building where he boiled down the sap. It was fun to be part of the process. Can’t wait to see the next video now. All nostalgic
I wish we had a “maple season” here in SW Missouri. It would be a fun thing to do. We are already in early garden season. My cool weather crops are already in..
I can really see this as an exciting ritual in the transition from winter to spring. Growing up in Michigan, I remember going out hunting for morels as another one of those annual events. Fun times!
I’m soaking in all this info but I’m wondering if it’s worth my effort to tap the three maples I have? You have a full production line. Normally I wouldn’t have considered this but you are so inspirational . I love your family..I love watching your videos..I hope you all are having a great summer.❤❤❤
Never tapped trees, nor seen how it’s done. My Dad always said “A question is not dumb, unless you already knew the answer.” So, here is my question - I can’t identify many tree types. So, what do you look for to know it’s a maple tree?
That’s definitely not a stupid question! Especially since we’re tapping in early spring before it has leaves, you have to be able to identify it based on the bark and the branches. Here’s a good article on how to identify them: ferrinbrookfarm.wordpress.com/2016/02/12/identifying-maple-trees-in-winter-to-tap-for-maple-syrup-2/
Not silly at all! You can put two taps on one tree as long as the tree is wider than 18 inches in diameter and three taps for a tree wider than 25 inches or more
I am all in for this, Tori! I follow you on Instagram, so this is very exciting. I also have one of your “Paddle like a Girl” t-shirts and hope to travel up to Canada someday soon to take your canoeing/ camping course with my daughter. I love that you are unapologetically you! Much respect!
wow so cool. tapping the trees. o and your boys they are so sweet. the little dude hugging his plane.lol to cute yall are awesome parents

Tori, the kids, and North are the stars of the Baird family. Jim just kind of tags along.

Hi Tori
We're still in sap season here in Northern MN. Our temps dipped back below freezing so the sap is frozen in the bags yet. I love this time of year! We use a barrel stove and finish off the syrup in the house once it cooks down and is just about ready to finish.
I love your channel!!
Jims a lucky man, he knows it! Safe travels and safety.🤍
A "Baird" Yaaaaay! For your new channel, Tori. I'm a big fan.
I whole heartedly agree with you!! Maple syrup season is such a wonderful time of year. Thrilled you are able to do this and make your own syrup for you and the family!!! Looking forward to following your channel!! Thank you for sharing of yourself, your family and your time! 💞
Thanks so much for watching!! ❤️
Love your guys place, the river behind is awesome would love to hear that at night as you fall asleep.
When stringing tubing , take thermos bottle of hot water with you and dip the tubing end in the hot water for a few seconds and it will push onto the spile easier .
I like your sap line setup. 18 L of syrup is amazing! What a great property you have.
We love maple syrup time too! Ahhh so relaxing and you are so right about the light at the end of the tunnel. Spring is almost here! ✌️🇨🇦💕🍁
Love your own channel. Mmmmmmaple syrup, boil it down. 40 gallons equals one gallon of syrup.
Hey Tori we are so happy you have your own channel now!
We love watching you and your beautiful family.
Both yours and Jim’s content is the best thing in you tube
You are AMAZING
Your children are so lucky to have all these amazing experiences
Thank you so much 🥰
I love where you live.
I have never seen this so thank you. How many maples do you have on your property? The river is moving! You kick butt.
This is so great Tori!!! Thanks for sharing and the effort it takes to do do so 🙂 💜 B
Following you now on your channel too! we get a glimpse of life outside of Texas heat and humidity. LOL Thank you!
You did a lot of awesome work. You’re getting it nicely set up!
Thank you!
Tori You are simply the best! Haai From northern Sweden
Nice video Tori! Love to see the whole family hanging out together. Wish I were there to help you boil it down, but soon you’ll have another body with the little “joiner” Huddie!
You and Jim are so blessed to be living where you are, the area is beautiful ❤️❤️. Thanks for starting your own channel, I am looking forward to more adventures involving your daily life activities with the kids❤️❤️
I am so excited for you. Jim's got some serious competition 😂. Maybe you should bottle that up and sell it. I'd be the first to buy it.
Love watching you tap the trees. I love this time of year too! Keep the videos coming!
Congrats on your first of what should be many, many more UA-cam videos!!
Thank you!
Tori, you're amazing!
8:40 both parents alternately calling out toddler's name who is wandering away with nary a single acknowledgement seems to be a universal experience hahaha
Hudson is a mini Jim 😊
Just blatantly ignoring us… glad we’re not alone in that experience lol
Love that family of yours don’t tell Jim you’re videos are so chill
Been tapping for 24 years, earliest season to date!
Love seeing videos with the kids......awesome
Let’s go Tori!!! Yeeeahhhhh!!!
It always tastes the best when you make it yourself 👍🍁🍁🍁🍁😋
Great job Tori ! I have watched so many of your family trips & many of Jim's adventures & now watching you getting ready for the big cookoff , Maple syrup :))
We go to a maple farm every year for buckwheat pancakes and fresh maple syrup. We buy different grades to use for special occasions. You’re a beast though Tori! Looking forward to more videos.

I can't wait to see this process start to finish. How cool! I'm already inspired.
Cheers Tori 👍🌹👍
Love the video Tori, your property is beautiful.
Thank you!
This is such a calming video. What an amazing place to live, near that gorgeous river!
Thank you!
The anticipation of that first pour of maple syrup over flap jacks
🤤
So happy to see you with your own channel, Tori! Love all your family’s adventures, and it will be fun to watch it all through your lens.
I’ve been waiting for a video like this. Thank you and again wishing well on your new channel.
We could have tapped in late January here in West Michigan! We tapped on February 19th and were done as of about a week and a half ago. Noticed today the Sugar Maples have buds already!! Crazy year for sure!
I just helped a friend with some sap collecting. Lots of fun!! Great to have the kids out doing it too 😊
So fun, it’s a great experience!
Thank you for sharing , love to see your family moving around your property. Look forward to seeing your garden and seeing all the trees turn green.
Actually crazy good for maple bad time for sking and winter camping.
Your amazing Tori I don’t know how you do it!!!
Awesome video. Love your new channel and I definitely love watching maple syrup time. Hudson is getting so big and learning to help more and more. Good luck on your new channel and hope it does well. Don’t overdo your work load because you already have a lot on your plate

🌺💗 NICE TO SEE A NEW VIDEO, TORI 💗🌺
I love your new Tube video!😊
Looking forward to the boil down video.
Good job, Tori! TY!
I wish we had a “maple season” here in SW Missouri. It would be a fun thing to do. We are already in early garden season. My cool weather crops are already in..
I love maple syrup season so much! And thanks for reminding me… I should be starting some seeds!
I Love you and your family ❣️🥰
Maybe we can go with you to the store, that would be fun💗😊
So cool really enjoyed this
Nice spot too
Great video Tori.
Mmmm...maple syrup 😋
Hi Tori, You're a trooper and I am here to watch the channel grow. ❤
I can really see this as an exciting ritual in the transition from winter to spring. Growing up in Michigan, I remember going out hunting for morels as another one of those annual events. Fun times!
Good stuff and good luck on the channel from little old prince Edward island
Ur a cool mom 🙏🏾
Love this! Can’t wait to see all the behind the scenes action! Kassy & Tyler
Looking forward to your point of view. The boys are adorable. Thanks for sharing

Does Jim remember his grade 3 maple syrup speech?
Awesome content by the way.
Haha I have no clue but I’m going to ask him!
Do you plug the trees when you are finished tapping them? Wish we could do this in Scotland as I love maple syrup.
You have a beautiful property did it take some getting used to listening to that running water 💦😊
I couldn’t live there. Too noisy for me, unless this is a high water thing. I love to hear nature.
Never tapped trees, nor seen how it’s done. My Dad always said “A question is not dumb, unless you already knew the answer.” So, here is my question - I can’t identify many tree types. So, what do you look for to know it’s a maple tree?

Do you ever relax?? You are one busy human!!!
My wife and I want to try this. Is it hard to get the taps back out? How do you plug the holes? Love this video!
Wow, so many maple cyrus come from those trees that taste like honey?😮
First yeaaaa
Hi teri just joined I watch you and Jim say hi to huddy and wesly🎉🎉🎉
Hello! Thanks for watching 😊
Grazie
👍🏻
Thanks for sharing this video. I am not familiar with the tapping process. How long can you tap a tree without damaging it?
❤❤ I KNOW THIS SOUNDS SILLY BUT COULD YOU TAP OPPOSITE SIDES OF ONE TREE TO GET MORE SAP??❤❤
Not silly at all! You can put two taps on one tree as long as the tree is wider than 18 inches in diameter and three taps for a tree wider than 25 inches or more
I wondered the same thing TY for asking 🍁
I am all in for this, Tori! I follow you on Instagram, so this is very exciting. I also have one of your “Paddle like a Girl” t-shirts and hope to travel up to Canada someday soon to take your canoeing/ camping course with my daughter. I love that you are unapologetically you! Much respect!
Thank you so much! I hope you’re able to make it up here one day too!
Your property scares me, the rushing river and a curious toddler running around.😮
I know, I feel the same way! Constant eye on this little guy!
Hi, Tori. Can you put more than one tap in a larger tree?
Do you guys sell the syrup that you make because that would be awesome to get some
