In this video, we are making maple syrup from sap for the first time. We start by tapping some of the silver maple trees on the property. This is our first time tapping maple trees for making maple syrup and I am sure we are going to do things right and we are going to do things wrong. Please join us on the journey of learning to be more self-sufficient at our off-grid homestead.

Welcome to the Just In The Woods Channel. My family and I purchased 18 acres of property in Northeastern, Ohio. The property has everything we were looking for, but there is one issue. The property has been abandon for 70 years, and mother nature has reclaimed the land. 

We are not rich, but we have the willpower to push forward and courage for a hard day's work. With a little bit of elbow grease and a lot of time, we can make the property a place where we can enjoy nature and disconnect from the crazy world.

We want to share our experiences with anyone interested. Our projects include:
Building off-grid cabins.
Making things with just the resources from the land.
Farming.
Milling our lumber from trees on the property.
Practicing bushcraft.
Showing DIY projects.
And trying our hand at techniques our ancestors perfected as they settled the land hundreds of years ago.
