    Maybe they could learn about splitting some wood.

    Thanks Dr. Perkins, those are great suggestions. I'll pass them along to the assistant proctor I've been talking with.

    Ha, it will be challenge enough getting them to carry some sap.

    Call me cynical but I'd be worried about college kids peeing in my buckets!

    No, I have concerns about this too. Actually I think pee would be pretty obvious, so it could be dumped. I'm worried about other things that might not be as obvious ;-(

    Probably not as big an issue as you might think, however it would be quite easy to check suspected buckets with a salinity indicator.
