4.0

A good starting guide for someone who would like to tap trees and make maple syrup on a personal use level. This was the best aspect of the book for me since a lot of how-to's are written on the scale of a big business production level.

Written in a down-to-earth approach that explains the science that you need to understand in order to tap trees and the process that is involved. There is also a lot of good information on all of the tools that you will need including pros and cons of different types of materials and even tips for purchasing items.

The end of the book delves into production on a larger scale and what you would need to do to produce maple syrup and maple syrup products to sell. I enjoyed the extra recipes that included how to make maple sugar, maple candy and maple cream, yum!
