i'm running only about 400 on vac.my buckets are about 1/4 full so i think all we've got so far was just trunk sap from tapping, but i have 250- 300 gal of sap to gather off the vac. got to love it! !

All right enough already! Trunk sap?? I'm starting to tap today and I will be looking for BIG TRUNKSAP. Reports are from those that have tapped in my area its been pretty slow.

trunk sap is what some of us referr to as the sap you get when you first drive a spout and thats all you get until the ground starts to thaw or the temps get freezing at night.

We're getting there. So far about 1300 buckets out. Hopefully the rest will be out today.
