best sap sacks

[treefool]

I used clear sap sacks last year that were double walled (ZERO LEAKAGE) and had their own cap/bung. In addition, they don't require an expensive 'holder'. I've scoured the internet and can't find a supplier. Does anybody have info on where I can find these sacks? Thanks in advance.

I had that dream once too. They were great!!:lol:

A&A Metal in Ulysses Pa was selling them last year. No phone though. I may be up past there Friday and can check.

I buy mine from leader

A&A Metal Shop has them. They have a plastic bung in the top middle for the tap and then they cut the corner to pour the sap out. They are on Collins Hill Rd, outside of Ulysses Pa. They are Amish so no phone and no Sunday sales.

Would someone be able to take a few pictures and post them. I bought my bags this year at Anderson they were 1/2 the price of other big retailers.

I bought some from them a few years back, the ones at leader seem to be slightly heavier

They had a red cap on the bung that needed to be cut off. He said they fit over the spile, I think they were the the tree saver type. He was selling them for .50/each.

Here's a video of the exact bags I'm looking for. I purchased a plastic tap and bag combo for less than a dollar apiece last year and I plan on reusing the taps. As I mentioned in my original post- I had ZERO leakage, and didn't lose a single bag to wind, animals, or gravity. I think I may have actually found a supplier. I'll post again when I know for sure. I've been getting a little tripped up by the Amish prohibition on phones, computers, etc.

I think the bags you are referring to might be called 'bag-in-box' liners.

I bought mine from an Amish guy in Burton Oh. (no phone) his name is Owen Miller, his address is 15667 Tavern Rd. Burton, Ohio 44021 (tavern road is state route 168). This is my first year so I'm not the best one to give advice but I think he said he hung 2000 taps and he only had 2 break. They look just like the ones in the attached video except you have to cut the cap off instead of popping it off like the video shows. They are $.40/ea including the washer that you tap your spile through which holds the bag on
