A versatile and reliable tool like this was demonstrated by Ray Mears to tap a Birch tree for it's sap during the spring 

Compact will easily fit in a pouch or backpack and requires no power supply , Just your own body and a good size stick to put through the Eye 

Birch & Maple sap collection is done by tying a bottle to the tree, drilling a hole into its trunk and leading the sap to the bottle by a plastic tube. A small birch (trunk diameter about 15 cm) 

can produce up to 5 liters of sap per day, a larger tree (diameter 30 cm) up to 15 liters per 

day. Birch sap has to be collected in early spring before any green leaves have appeared, as in late spring it becomes bitter. The price of birch sap is correspondingly high some countries, e.g. in Japan reaching up to 50 Euro per liter 

Other trees with edible sap include Walnut, Hickory , Lime and some species of Alder 

This tool also has many other practical uses aside from sap harvesting like the construction of traps , shelters and other wood craft items such as camp furniture or tools. ( like a simple mallet for example. ) 

A nice addition to your bush craft set. If used and maintained correctly it will last for years. Simply wipe down and oil after use. Please be sure to properly plug the tree's after
