Hello everyone, tapped 18 trees and got 10 litres thats good, we tapped 100 plus and only got that, the wind played a big factor with us .The week is looking good though.

Well brent she dose like her wood but at the end of the day i would way rather be standing behind her for 12 hrs then boiling 12-20hrs we used to when we had a 5X12. and i have all kinds of wood we will probably make the big swicth to oil when we get an R/O. that is if the price of oil stays under 1.50 a liter.
