Hey all, I'm resurrecting this old thread for another year? Has anyone in the area started tapping? I just tapped 20 trees in the miners bay area.

No not yet. I hope I do not regret it. I did dig out the evaporator and am making some modifications to the arch.
2013 55 taps, a homemade 2 x 5 oil tank evaporator and 2 x 4 flat pan
2014 56 taps new sap pump and 45 gallon sap gravity feed copper coil pre-heater rig
2015 60 taps just tweaking things
2016 shooting for the same but will see what happens

Put a test tap in today. It is running. Will be headed back up next weekend to tap. Located just east of Vankoughnet.

2014 8 taps = 4 litres syrup
2015 31 taps = 13 litres syrup
2016 53 taps = 36 litres syrup
2017 55 taps = 27 litres syrup
Alright finally heading up this weekend to tap as I am going to be away for March break. The long range is looking good right now. I hope I didn't miss too much of the season with these early runs. Might have to push my tap count up to 75 to maximize the rest of the season. I see some long Boils in my future.
