Just as we all know that coconut water is good for you it can only be drank for a short while before it actually starts to dehydrate you from diarrhea. Well, birch is an even stronger diuretic and can dry you out even more quickly, which makes it not a very good source for water. There are much better ways to obtain water. This would seriously be a last ditch effort. He failed to mention that part, which is pretty important.
well i sometimes drink a quart of coconut water every day for days on end and it has never gave me diarea, and actually gave me moister skin for which had been drying out. SO i dont know what you are talken about
@@deweyb3458 Every 3 months my fellow pastors in our church group fast for 3 days & we drink only coconut water. We never had experienced dehydration nor diarrhea. Maybe if you experienced such yourself, it was only caused by unknown factors, but not really an established fact or knowledge. When I suffered from kidney stone disease I drank coconut water often & never had diarrhea too.

This method is very popular in Poland and there are several varieties. In some of the unnecessary is the tube only a knife and the container. From different trees at different times of the year collects juice has a variety of health benefits. In Polish are available whole books on this subject the most collected water from the lindens, Birch and PoplarBut be careful because this is the method used to improve the health and resistance of the juice of some trees such as birch trees in larger quantities it causes slow dechydracje after a few days, I know what I'm talking about because I once purposely is checked. you have to be careful that the trees were healthy
@@pieceofschmidtgames6389 Funny, I was finally about to ask the same after seein it a few dozen times in the past month. Actually, I want to know what it is and where it's from
I appreciate the fact you advised to plug in the hole for the tree's benefit....Man takes a lot for nature and just forgets about it....huge respect to you bro!
I would love to hang out with this dude for a week and just learn. I don’t think he even knows how incredible his skills are to someone that lives in Los Angeles
Especially when the wild fires are ravaging homes out there. At least then if you have to leave your home...you know how to get water...very important and life saving tip. Great video!
yes every surviving tips are very welcome for anyone who want to be prepared for what may bring.And instead of making fun of people that shares what they know,you guys better go out in the nature and learn or practice what you learned from guys like hem. Thank you Cody and respect .
Research the information, It’s not always accurate, As is the case with this video. While most are learning and “prepping”, I’m prepared. I’ve been living off grid in the woods most of my life. Just do some research and fact checking. You can punch a hole in any tree and get sap/water, or pitch. It may be from a maple or birch, but that doesn’t mean it’s good to drink as a replacement for water. The sugar content alone will only make you more thirsty. Also, depending on when you’re getting the sap, whether there are buds on the trees, and even the individual constitution of the person, you’ll end up with diarrhea after drinking just a few ounces. It takes literally gallons of sap to make quarts of syrup. Even moreso for birch than maple. Just check with people who make syrup, like we do and always have, before you add maple sap to your prep plan.
How amazing to learn something like this. Living in the city, we have lost nature's knowledge. I am truly grateful that you put this video up. Because even if it was just every day knowledge to you, you realized that a lot of us don't know anything about natural wisdom. Thank you for saving lives.
I knew this was possible but I have never actually done it. This video is a good demonstration of tapping a tree with minimal tools. Video is also very concise and to the point - thanks for that. At 6:45 -- "A straw and a perfect sized matching drill hole" - Makes me want to add a few things to my pack. Cheers!
You can also tap hickory & sycamore, although since I am allergic to sycamore, I'm not inclined to drink it. I have made syrup from hickory sap, it has a stronger flavor to it than maple syrup, but it takes a little less sap & it is a little thicker too. And just as an FYI, pure maple syrup helps with prostate problems. You would think that all the boiling breaks down the medicinal properties, it does somewhat, but it retains a lot of them. The sugar in syrup is sucrose, it also contains manganese, zinc, calcium, riboflavin, magnesium, & potassium. Good stuff....
@Dipstick McGillicuddy Really? I've worked in the tree trimming business & have been fine with all tree species except for when I start working with sycamore. This tree gave me asthma attacks when the saw dust started flying & when I was around them in bloom.
I loved how when you were splitting that branch that you caught yourself and turn the blade and was going backwards with it. Great demonstration of proper knife safety.
I think this was the first caveman cody video I saw a couple of months ago. I was going to take a survival training course before this whole coronavirus thing started but now the class has been shut down and I've been referring to youtube videos to learn. I got the desire to learn how to be self sufficient as of October last year and I've been pursuing survival and outdoor skills since then. Thanks for the good advice!
I REALY appreciate you taking the time to educate all of us. I hope you realize that you are saving lives! And I really just want to say...."Thank You"😃😃
You remind me of my son. You guys look alike when he grows his beard out. Only he has blue eyes and is 6'4". Other than that you look alike. 🙂 I just wanna tell ya' how proud I am of ya for connecting with nature. It's important.
I in joy watching your videos. I'm 62 and live out in the woods in Arkansas. Have all my life. You remind me of Jeremiah Johnson (Robert Redford). Watch the movie if you haven't already. You will love it. Been my favorite since it came out back in the 70s
Grandpa had us doing this as kids 40 years ago back on family hunting and fishing trips...I'm glad people putting this stuff out there so it don't get lost as we become more use to society providing everything for us...I evan like the fact of how you told every1 to plug the hole when dont..👍 good show

I love learning from videos like these. One day we'll be thrown out back into primitive living and most will just die from their ignorance. I love learning about the outdoors. Thanks and keep it up.
you sir just gave me new knowledge and therefore a milestone in my survival knowledge thank you verry much this video should be seen millions of times. This should be school education.
I did this to a maple tree to make syrup. It was quite a fun project to do. I never thought about the water being clean drinking water. To me it was a precursor to syrup. Well done here. 🙃
they have taken so much knowledge from us that most people would die of thirst while surrounded by trees. thank you for teaching something that may save lives.
you are the first and only guy that makes how-to videos without advertising a product (unless you count tomahawks which is perfectly acceptable), playing some god awful verizon store music, or telling me to go buy something from radio shack. seriously i got a knife and trees so im all set to do this
Thanks for this upload Cody, it appeared in my recommended feed today. That is good survival knowledge to have. Greetings to you from south east Australia.
Great Video...I will never forget this technique in the wild. Did not know I could do this and thanks for mentioning it could ferment after up to 24 hrs.
I drank some birch tap water yesterday and it was delicious!!! Of course it was bottled and produced but it's good low sugar hydration that I like better than coconut water!!
Lots of comments about survival skills, people skills, city skills, urban skills, rural skills ... everyone's experiences are different. I grew up in a small town and was in the Scouts and learned a lot of this stuff outside of the Scouts, on my own, just reading stuff and spending a lot of time in the woods. Most of my friends grew up on farms and just because they were rural doesn't mean they learned anything about woodcraft - they were too busy working on the farm! Like I said, everyone's experiences are different no matter where you grow up.
Just saw this out of nowhere... I never knew knew I’d needed this whenever an apocalypse happens or some birdbox stuff happens hope you doin fine and livin life man thank you🙏♾
I always wondered what Grizzly Adams looked like when he was a kid! I loved the video and I had no clue that you could harvest water like this. Love the gritty-ness. Cheers!
I didn't realize how this could be something sensational to other people and just reading some of the comments makes me laugh. Where i come from this is common knowledge and people are collecting birch and maple water every spring, and it can even be bought in shops and markets in season. By season i mean early spring, as soon as temperature gets few degrees above 0 Celsius up until tree starts growing buds. After it starts growing buds water is coming out cloudy and then it almost stops, because at that point tree needs it itself more. Hole needs to be plugged after, otherwise it might die. Also i never tend to use same tree year after year, if you do everything correctly it does no damage to tree. There are lot of health benefits drinking this water. And it doesn't give you diarrhea or dehydrate you as some people mentioned. There are even easy ways how to store it for long time, although it's loosing it's health benefits this way it can still be used as refreshing drink months or even years later if prepared properly.
I sympathize with the comments. I had known of this for years and some of these people blew me away with how little they knew. Where do they think maple syrup comes from. A maple fairy? Yea this is a very refreshing drink for me and maybe the only thing i like about living in a marsh.
@@CavemanCody This all just comes down to a lack of knowledge combined with total ignorance. It's good that there are people around you that have some knowledge about things you don't and it's a perfect opportunity to learn, but instead they choose "the ignorance path" and mock you. Well i guess people don't want to educate themselves, i guess they are happy staying in dark. System has done it's job well. There are lot of misleading information everywhere and it's sad that people can't think for themselves and they can't tell a difference between lie and real. Good thing that there are people who's still trying to show people some valuable information.
@@elvijsgusars900 I thought it was common knowledge also, rudimentary in fact. But this coming from a guy, who as a kid, took field trips to the local maple syrup farm.
Thanks for this bro 🥰😎 I’m from Ireland & im called The Irish mountain man,I’ve my own Bushcraft school here,I work with schools & youth clubs… I’ve been watching your vids & learned so much already from you. Been doing this for around 16 years now & to be honest if anyone says they know everything there lies. I would know a right bit & can look after myself the best. But thank you so much for your videos,your doing a great job. Would be great to get you over here in Ireland for a while. So I can show you what it’s like over here.
You guys act like your educated on computer science but the word algorithm isn't really suitable for what your saying. It's not UA-cams coding Its the boss in charge deciding how UA-cam recommends videos like how can a SET OF STEPS OR INSTRUCTIONS be weird. I'm 14 you guys are the reason why people think computer science is "bent" and "for downies"
Your right, I remember watching this fellow in the same video a few years ago...I came across it because I specifically googled how to tap trees for water and his along with a few others popped up.
I grew up in northwest Ohio. I remember schools always talking about Johnny Appleseed. I don't remember crap about the dude. If he's even fictional or not
I love nature myself. But you would not believe how many people gave me crap over that. Trees survive lightning strikes. This is merely a paper cut if that for the tree.
I moved from my city (Rome) to the woods of Tuscany; I had to cut down an oak tree blocking the way home and I was surprised when I saw water coming out.... now I understand what happened! Subbed!!
Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Very well presented. Glad you mentioned plugging the tree after the tapping. Survival has to have a component for respecting the environment after all.
You're the first UA-camr I've ever heard doing something like this in tapping tree's for water. As a new subscriber I think that's pretty cool if it's drinkable. Thank you Caveman Cody for sharing this video.
Please take this as a compliment. The way you speak and give directions is perfectly summed up by your dogs name! Great video! Edit: You earned a like and a sub!
It's amazing how much a steady, slow drip of water will accumulate, for example a drip of about one drop of water every 5 seconds will fill a 2.5 gallon container in about 12 hours.
Hmmm. Then there's math that gets in the way. One drop every 5 seconds is 12 drops per minute. x 60 minutes = 720 drops an hr. 12 hrs = 8640 drips. There is @ 91,000 drops in a gallon, so your scenario yields less than 1/10th of a gallon.... less than a quart. You certainly aren't going to fill a 2.5 gallon container. Sorry to use facts on you. I know there's a lot of people that like to form opinions without using a single one of them.
@@anonymousstout4759 Not sure what you're even saying. A gallon is a gallon and a drop is a drop. They are both units of measure. We can convert it to metric, but you still have the same volume of water in the same timeframe whether you want to call the amount you've gathered liters or quarts.
@Johnny Nemo You seem to miss the point. Sure, the video is about survival. Don't you think factual information would be important in this case? Making preposterous claims amd stating something false needs to be called out. Someone setting a tap up and expecting 2.5 gallons in 12 hrs is going to be sorely disappointed. Yes the size of drops can vary, depending mainly on the surface tension of the liquid, but my point was to show how over-fetched the original comment was. Say the drops were twice the size (Not going to happen, but for argument's sake) of what is universally accepted as a drop and he's still way, way off. It would seem YOUR brain power would be better spent actually stating facts and not trying to defend outlandish claims that could ill-advise or harm people.
This is a great video Cody. Thanks for sharing this information with us. I have 4 maple trees that I'm going to try to tap next year. You did an awesome job. Keep up the good work and take care-Debbie
for young man you certainly are a Woodsman clever and also handsome remind me of my grandson he looks just like you beautiful sweet face. this is certainly a survival information for anyone lost in the woods however they have to have the supplies with them in order to make this happen thank you wonderful video I'm going to pass it on two friends love to go hiking in the woods
Well, i was going to ask "What other trees... etc" but then I read your video description Now I am pondering: Which trees/bushes/branches should I definitely NOT tap?
I like this guy, gets straight to the point. No mumbling jumbo repeating himself.
Chad Linton. I agree 💯. Survival Lilly on UA-cam is another straight to the point presenter.
I was thinking the same thing. I thought I was going to have to skip through a bunch of random speeches about something.
Agreed
Chad Linton. I like this guy, too. He is easy on the eyes, and easy to understand.
But Hes ugly af
I like that you said, seal the hole when you're done. Shows consideration for the trees that may have saved someones life. Very nice video, thank you.
Joseph M When done tapping the tree, how would you recommend sealing the tree?
@@carolconny2763 You can use roofing tar or even pine sap. Tar seems the best for the long term. Good luck with your tree tapping Carol.
You can stuff some dirt in it and the sap will gum up behind it and harden.
@@carolconny2763 you can also just cut a little piece of dead limb about the size of the hole and hammer it into the hole, or green
100%
I've watched years and years of all kinds of survivor man shows, why have I never seen this technique!?!?
Thanks!

I always wondered what Grizzly Adams looked like when he was a kid! I loved the video and I had no clue that you could harvest water like this. Love the gritty-ness. Cheers!
More like Jeremiah Johnson
You rock...Everything we need is always all around us...
getredytagetredy it only works in early Spring. When it gets warm out the tree sends the sap to the leaves
Respect and admiration. Love the hair send beard. Totally authentic. Monumental Thumbs up!!!
This is essential survival information, thank you for not letting this knowledge disappear
Beautiful experiment keep up the great work water is essential.
I didn't realize how this could be something sensational to other people and just reading some of the comments makes me laugh. Where i come from this is common knowledge and people are collecting birch and maple water every spring, and it can even be bought in shops and markets in season. By season i mean early spring, as soon as temperature gets few degrees above 0 Celsius up until tree starts growing buds. After it starts growing buds water is coming out cloudy and then it almost stops, because at that point tree needs it itself more. Hole needs to be plugged after, otherwise it might die. Also i never tend to use same tree year after year, if you do everything correctly it does no damage to tree. There are lot of health benefits drinking this water. And it doesn't give you diarrhea or dehydrate you as some people mentioned. There are even easy ways how to store it for long time, although it's loosing it's health benefits this way it can still be used as refreshing drink months or even years later if prepared properly.
I sympathize with the comments. I had known of this for years and some of these people blew me away with how little they knew. Where do they think maple syrup comes from. A maple fairy? Yea this is a very refreshing drink for me and maybe the only thing i like about living in a marsh.
@@CavemanCody This all just comes down to a lack of knowledge combined with total ignorance. It's good that there are people around you that have some knowledge about things you don't and it's a perfect opportunity to learn, but instead they choose "the ignorance path" and mock you. Well i guess people don't want to educate themselves, i guess they are happy staying in dark. System has done it's job well. There are lot of misleading information everywhere and it's sad that people can't think for themselves and they can't tell a difference between lie and real.
Good thing that there are people who's still trying to show people some valuable information.
@@elvijsgusars900 I thought it was common knowledge also, rudimentary in fact. But this coming from a guy, who as a kid, took field trips to the local maple syrup farm.
Elvijs Gusars: So what does it taste like, is it like Retsina?
"If you leave it out for more than 24 hours it can start to ferment."
Um, who else is thinking tree wine?
More like beer here but yeah, sugar leads to ethanol 😉

SwapPart, LLC ... ew!
Yeah I'm sure thats what he meant.
Me!!!!!
Second video from you that I watch, I definitely subscribe ! Love the energy, Bobba and the handgun :)
Take care, cheers from Europe !
Zyriab from across the pond. Appreciate it. Big videos planned this summer.
Thanks for this bro 🥰😎 I’m from Ireland & im called The Irish mountain man,I’ve my own Bushcraft school here,I work with schools & youth clubs…
I’ve been watching your vids & learned so much already from you.
Been doing this for around 16 years now & to be honest if anyone says they know everything there lies.
I would know a right bit & can look after myself the best.
But thank you so much for your videos,your doing a great job.
Would be great to get you over here in Ireland for a while.
So I can show you what it’s like over here.
Love that little Kershaw knife. Got one myself, very durable. It is also easy on the budget.
Super glad I seen this thank you knowledge is key
Algorithm of youtube is weird
This footage was uploaded 3 yrs ago but just appear in mu recommendation..
Maz Echa I see you’re new here
Maz Echa mine too. Was just talking about UA-cam’s weird algorithms with my friend.
You guys act like your educated on computer science but the word algorithm isn't really suitable for what your saying. It's not UA-cams coding Its the boss in charge deciding how UA-cam recommends videos like how can a SET OF STEPS OR INSTRUCTIONS be weird. I'm 14 you guys are the reason why people think computer science is "bent" and "for downies"
Your right, I remember watching this fellow in the same video a few years ago...I came across it because I specifically googled how to tap trees for water and his along with a few others popped up.
Why do people think videos have to be brand new to be recommended? They don’t.
in the beginning the dogs tail was in perfect position to look like you had a tail 😀, great videos.
Great trick for survival . Thank you
So happy you mentioned plugging the hole after to protect the trees! And thanks for the good info.
This idea will come in great at my cob cottage build site! Thanks for the lesson.
Its 3:17 am for me,
This popped up in my recomended too dont worry.
Cody your awesome bud. Thanks for the info. No BS just to the point. Keep it up.
I bet that water tastes really good... A gift from God...
Thank you for the tips!
Nice work brother, I'm ganna try this on our paper bark trees in Australia, I know they will produce clean drinking water. Cheers
+SOUTHERN CROSS SURVIVAL Is this the tree that was dubbed the tourist tree? cause it looks like the tourists after a sunburn.
Im from Aus too, how'd it go, did it work?
Cool man. Good survival info. That's basically how they harvested to make maple syrup where I grew up.
You tap a maple tree to get maple syrup. U r correct
I grew up in northwest Ohio. I remember schools always talking about Johnny Appleseed. I don't remember crap about the dude. If he's even fictional or not

You just earned a new sub
+1
My dogs named bubba too, that's him in the picture haha
Bubba Bot
Nice dog looks like my moms dog lol
My Dog’s name is Rio but I call him bubba or bubbas a lot lmao
Its important to know that This dosent hurt the tree in any way! Awesome video!
I love nature myself. But you would not believe how many people gave me crap over that. Trees survive lightning strikes. This is merely a paper cut if that for the tree.
@@CavemanCody Man just keep on doing what you're doing! I think its awesome! People are gonna hate for any reason. Love the videos 👌
@@joeestes8114 if you dont have haters are you really doing anything right?
Thanks for watching
I moved from my city (Rome) to the woods of Tuscany; I had to cut down an oak tree blocking the way home and I was surprised when I saw water coming out.... now I understand what happened! Subbed!!
It’ll ferment that’s awesome make some survival hooch
Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Very well presented. Glad you mentioned plugging the tree after the tapping. Survival has to have a component for respecting the environment after all.
Great how to video. Thanks for taking time to film and post it.
You're the first UA-camr I've ever heard doing something like this in tapping tree's for water. As a new subscriber I think that's pretty cool if it's drinkable. Thank you Caveman Cody for sharing this video.
this is also how maple syrup is collected
You get a thumbs up just because you're rockin that bad ass beard. Thanks for the video.
I subscribed before the video even loaded
Dude that’s awesome I had no idea u can do that. Thanks for the survival tip. “Like”
Im goin to sub. Really useful including for this crazy days we living now. Thanks bro
Thanks for sharing! Dude! 👍🏻👍🏻
Please take this as a compliment. The way you speak and give directions is perfectly summed up by your dogs name! Great video!
Edit: You earned a like and a sub!
Hey Cody just found your channel and this was a very cool vid, thank you! I subbed, upped and shared on FB. God bless brother!
Great Stuff Cody,i can See you in a few Years Being the next "Survivorman" or "Bear Gryll's" having your Own Show on T.V. lol Well Done
Yo wtf this is def getting added to my survival to the zombie Apocalypse list like whaaaaaat
Uplifted life you got a zombie 🧟♀️ apocalypse list!
Preparing for civil war surviving here lol
A true survivor! With a kind soul and respect for nature. I thought humanity was dead (whew)
This is great, first time I've seen someone talk about being able to tap trees! Thanks for the info
It's amazing how much a steady, slow drip of water will accumulate, for example a drip of about one drop of water every 5 seconds will fill a 2.5 gallon container in about 12 hours.
Hmmm. Then there's math that gets in the way. One drop every 5 seconds is 12 drops per minute. x 60 minutes = 720 drops an hr. 12 hrs = 8640 drips. There is @ 91,000 drops in a gallon, so your scenario yields less than 1/10th of a gallon.... less than a quart. You certainly aren't going to fill a 2.5 gallon container. Sorry to use facts on you. I know there's a lot of people that like to form opinions without using a single one of them.
@@trbig67 should be just using matric instead how and its depending on how much one drop in ml is
@@anonymousstout4759 Not sure what you're even saying. A gallon is a gallon and a drop is a drop. They are both units of measure. We can convert it to metric, but you still have the same volume of water in the same timeframe whether you want to call the amount you've gathered liters or quarts.
@Johnny Nemo You seem to miss the point. Sure, the video is about survival. Don't you think factual information would be important in this case? Making preposterous claims amd stating something false needs to be called out. Someone setting a tap up and expecting 2.5 gallons in 12 hrs is going to be sorely disappointed. Yes the size of drops can vary, depending mainly on the surface tension of the liquid, but my point was to show how over-fetched the original comment was. Say the drops were twice the size (Not going to happen, but for argument's sake) of what is universally accepted as a drop and he's still way, way off. It would seem YOUR brain power would be better spent actually stating facts and not trying to defend outlandish claims that could ill-advise or harm people.
@@trbig67 he did say *about 12 hours*
This is a great video Cody. Thanks for sharing this information with us. I have 4 maple trees that I'm going to try to tap next year.
You did an awesome job. Keep up the good work and take care-Debbie
for young man you certainly are a Woodsman clever and also handsome remind me of my grandson he looks just like you beautiful sweet face. this is certainly a survival information for anyone lost in the woods however they have to have the supplies with them in order to make this happen thank you wonderful video I'm going to pass it on two friends love to go hiking in the woods
Great video. Extremely informative, and no-nonsense.
Thank u kind Sir you may have saved someone's life big hug God bless u

🤠🖖
I like your vids man, straight to the point. Solid, got my Sub.
Well, i was going to ask "What other trees... etc" but then I read your video description
Now I am pondering: Which trees/bushes/branches should I definitely NOT tap?
Do not tap a maple. Unless you have pancakes to go with it. If you tap a maple, you're going to be wanting pancakes.
Great job and technique brother, especially teaching others to plug the hole after they're done!👍
Very cool! Amazing video glad you showed how to make one in case of not having premade taps!
