We probably do it all wrong. We have not tapped in a few years. We used to do it every year. We boiled in a pan about 3feet wide 5 feet long and about 10 inches deep. Used a 2x6 water tank for the sap. Then boiled till about done then would finish it off at the house. We collected it all by hand carrying it to the tank in 5 gallon pails. I would like to know more about using the tubing to help with reducing labor to collect. Also the woods will thaw out enough we could not use tractors to pull tanks for collection. How do you keep the deer from running into them and pulling it all to pieces? How expensive is it and how long does it last. There are a couple of syrup supply places around jst have not went there to talk to them. I never heard of sterilizing the bit between trees. We just went from tree to tree using the brace and bit. We did slope them slightly downhill. We just go by taste to finish it off never lost a jar yet from not being boiled enough .

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
