Still not going in woods, but looks like only a couple lines broke, the others look stretched under limbs. Missed my main line by 5 ft. Overall, should be able to have most repairs tonight/tomorrow.

Our Dad used to say “If you pray for potatoes - you better grab a hoe.”
Looks like someone’s been praying for rain… cause we got lots of water in the woods now!
Bring it on, here we go for round 2!!
Yep. Things are running real good as we speak.
Sap was flowing good today and the forecast looks good for next week.
Sure was, I pulled in close to 1 gpt today...but I think it's gonna be lights for the next day or so.Quote:

Only my south facing taps running well today. Still pretty cold in the woods.
Just curious how much sap others are getting these last 2 days? On 1300 taps with 25"+ vac I'm about .7 gal of sap per tap. I've been tapped since the first week of January and so I'm trying to figure out if and how much my taps are running less than others that tapped around the first of February. Thanks,
Just over a gpt today. It open way up at about 3pm. Running 27.5” and flowing well. Should freeze tonight and with rain Tomorrow im expecting it tonopen up.Quote:

You’re right about tomorrow, the low pressure system should open the gates.
1 gpt on 5,000 taps is a huge amount of sap…and wood or “liquid wood”.
Where you storing all the barrels Kev? Hats off to what you’ve accomplished in a few short years!
