Chemistry iz Chool

Fresh wood: Terpenes, phenolics and lactones contribute to fresh, resinous and sweet aromas.

Seasoned wood: Drying and maturation change volatile compounds, producing characteristic woody notes.

Toasting: Heating promotes caramelization and Maillard reactions, forming compounds such as furfural and diacetyl.

Charring: Thermal degradation of lignin produces smoky phenolic compounds, especially guaiacol, cresols and syringol.

Vanillin & eugenol: Give sweet, vanilla-like and spicy/clove-like notes.

Rad! All fall winter and spring minus the coldest days of winter - it's THE BEST way to spend a day!

Calling Spruce Gold Miners and Ladder Fuel Mitigators.

Tedious Spruce Gold Collection:
Pays by the kilo/gram. Cleaner, finer with no bark and branch contaminants = $0.15/gram. *Submissions to assayer with too much contamination will be rejected.*

plus/or

Methodical, more Physical Ladder Fuel Mitigation:
Pays $100/acre (209'x209' square) lifted and raked and video recorded, horizontal orientation, from body mount, head mount or tripod, no editing necessary.

Excellent work for teams of two to three.

Date day out in the woods, anyone? Date weekend??

We've been concerned about this clouding result of letting the Spru-Srup & COmugolio set for too long, but it is NOT mold!

It is most likely caramelized microscopic sugar crystals and resins from the spruce tips solution all binding together over time.

"SHAKE WELL" will be included in all 2nd edition and subsequent labels.

Enjoy!

Peaceful out there. Far more therapeutic than the concrete jungle.

Wilderness areas make the most sense for non-mechanized rehabilitation efforts, both for Forest and Man alike.

One of the most beautiful drives in Colorado is Highway 9 between Silverthorne and Kremmling. And it's but a small peek at the sea of rugged peaks and mountain lakes and streams and waterfalls and even glaciers beyond west of the jagged Gore Range.

I've considered hiking through it, but I'd rather be a part of it.

I keep meeting others who'd love to join the effort, too.
