so yesterday i was in the bush putting up some more drop lines i got a deal on 350 for $50 wiches is not bad but any way i got 40 more up on in a little area on top of a hill and got it running in to the main line 50'-75' below so there is a big drop there i was going to go out today but it was just to cold
-30 with wind chill but i got other stuff done i got more photos on the link below of the work i did and the landscape and of some freshly fallen trees
The bush is on a township road. It runs down hill and is tilted away from the road it has a bench that is kind of wide. some of the laterals are flatter than I like but you have to work with what you have. I posted some pics of us setting tanks today. For those of you have never meet me I'm the one with the fur hat. It was 5degs when we set them.
DaveY- Tanks look like they are going to work good. Those trees look like some serious runners. Hopefully youll be trying them out soon. I hope you put vac on that woods someday. Id like to see what would come out of that tube then. Im betting youll be getting all the sap you want. Theron
Wow Dave - you've got good friends or good connections - boom truck! Nice!
Nice looking woods for sure!
I've been so busy at night making stainless wire ties and drop lines that I can't keep up with the trader. Sounds like most every one is trying to get ready also. I'm adding atleast 400 taps. So far I put out 4200' of mainline and still some to go.

Theron,
I hope to put vacuum on next year. and add some more trees. You should see the expansion in those woods. I will have to add some boiling capicity also.
Danno, My brother is a contractor. He is the one with the connections. It took all of 30mins to set the tanks. thats fom the time the truck got there un til it left. That is the only way to set tanks. effortless!!!
or you could use a tractor and it works fine we made a 12 foot boom for are tractor and it pickes up 1500lbs no problem
Finished all the work on the lines, replacing bad drops,putting hook lines on the saddles and cleaning out dead trees.......Will start running new lines in a week or so........Hope to have 500 new taps added........Might be selling a 200+ new SS tank with aluminum frame at the end of the season.....Make a great feed tank........Let me know if you interested and ill keep you in mind.....
Dave Y,
Nice work on the tanks! You will like that for gathering! I Like the boom truck! Nice hat too:)

Chris, I can get you a hat like that, all you have to do is catch the muskrats.
