Sac choice

Blue sacs or clear sacs? Laminated or not?

This is my 1st season using them but what I've learned from Mapletrader guys is that blue keeps the sap cooler and I also put a piece of duct tape across the bottom to toughen it up cause I hear critters may gnaw at the sak. So far I love the ease of use. I'm getting some more. I'm using Soule hookless spouts. So far a winning combination. I did have one pull out of the frame so make sure you have enough overlap to fold over. All I could imagine was that is was 3 gallons of liquid beauty gone back to the wild:emb:

I also have the classic steel pails for the traditional look where they're visible to the public

We had 29 last year and just got 8 more today. Last year we bought 250 of the blue bags from anderson maple. We have not had any critters chew the bags but have popped a few with thorns and prickers. We also have the soule hookless spouts.

I use the blue also, with Soule hookless. Duct tape works good for pinholes where they rub against the tree with ice in them.

Thanks for the advice. I cant make my mind up about anything. If I had tried to deciede myself I would have missed the run!!!!! Thanks again and have a great sugaring season!!!
