- Over the years I have tried many different ways to collect and boil sap to make maple syrup. If you are just getting started, there are a lot of options out there! So, which way to collect sap is best, cheapest, easiest?

Gone, are the days of kayaking! I miss watching you going out on your “seasonally provided”, wooded area, pond, with the pickup and IBC tote. 5 gallon pails, and kayak!❤😂
I remember those days!!
I am very lucky that I bought a house built by a bootlegger during the Great Depression, with two maple trees, in the middle of town. I tapped years ago, but the cooking down is the issue. This year I decided to do it again, since there is no snow but the nights stay below freezing and the days between 20-40 degrees, which means not trying to get to trees with deep snow on the ground (female: 77 on March 15). I use new water jugs, the state say you can use milk jugs but they get contaminated by the milk. Nice refresher video.
Oh how I look forward to the evaporator/Sugar Shack part of this every year. I dont know why, but it takes me back to my childhood. I guess its so interesting to me because God knew man would discover His little treat for us… Maple Syrup! 😋
Hey SSL ! Catfish here ! Solid video on the topic ! A proven tradition !
Great video...I've been waiting for you to post the maple syrup collection videos lol!
enjoyed the video on the tapping of the maples to eventually make syrup. have a great week-end.
Thanks so much! This will be my first year tapping and I needed a simple tutorial 👍
I always look forward to your maple syrup videos this time of year. Sadly it doesn't cold enough here for it...but on the plus side, it was 75° today!
Me and my kids got to do it at our friends house it was fun
Great job 👍😁
👍❤😇🙏GREAT video Todd
We use to use milk jugs or those 2gal water jugs to collect sap. Sometimes you would have to collect 2x a day but they where free, nothing to clean and very recyclable.
This is a great idea also, we did the same thing in the past but I couldn’t keep up with collection once I got a lot of them
Meh, your link for me in Canada has each (as in one) bag holder at 50 bucks (before tax and shipping, before spiles, and of course the bags that go with it). Even if one just has 6 trees that's $300+ just for something to hang the bag off of, way cheaper to just buy syrup from a neighbour at that point. Nice video though :) thanks for showing us how you do it.
About how long does it take to fill one of those sacks on average, I know every tree is different.
They filled to overflowing in one day this week, just depends on the day. We had a good freeze overnight and then sunny and 48 during the day, perfect temps for sap to run
Will the sap racks hold up in strong winds? Thank you 🥰
They were put to the test last week, we had 40mph winds and they were all good. As long as there is a little sap in them they will stay on the tree, if they are empty I have had them blow off
@@SSLFamilyDad brilliant thank you again! 🤗
I see you traded your kayak in for a golf cart!
Lol, so much less wet
Is aluminum any better than plastic?
That could be debatable but I would prefer it personally
The only problem with using bags is that there banning plastic bags everywhere
