Several hundred wooded acres with a lake and a nice cabin in Maine or New Hampshire.

That sounds nice too...or an island, or something up in the mountains...with a working still in back, or some good soil  :fly:.

Purely for experimental and medicinal purposes of course.

...and a hot tub with a good view...I'm not getting any younger here.

You could tap your own maple syrup in the winter. :) algonquin country

They used to do that at a local museum when I was a kid.  I have always had a strong interest in the colonial period and the way things where done before power and resources were so available.  I would like to be as self sufficient as possible

Folks from the tribes that taught colonists how to tap the trees still do it every winter. If you befriend the right person, they might be able to show you how.
Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

My dad did that one year when I was a kid...it's really pretty simple...but it takes a lot of sap to make syrup. I think we were lucky if we even ended up with a cup of it after the cooking process. We needed more trees.  :LOL:

That is one of the reasons real syrup    is pricy not only does it take a lot of it it takes a lot of fuel to boil  it down even more to make the candy

Apparently if the trees aren't tapped, they can explode.

Congress, so I could get some decent legislation passed.
