I'm itching to give this a shot for the first time this year on a handful of trees. Can anyone recommend a good starter kit or setup?
does anyone just buy the sap? doesnt seem like it would be economically feasable to evaporate 40 gallons of sap into a gallon of syrup.
Yea - I'm not that desperate yet.
Although, There is this cute Blonde Knotty Pine down the road that I've had my eye on. She's one sturdy gal with an enormous trunk and as dumb as a board. I don't think I'd get past her boyfriend though. He's built like an Oak.
And besides...Splinters Hurt.
Put in 24 taps this afternoon...had an inch in a couple bags before we left the bush.
