LoL, very true, feast or famineOriginally Posted by Galena
I've got around a grand total of 38l so far, with a lot of it coming from the 3 Surprises. The big trees just don't like to put out any kind of sap unless it's warm and sunny. So I've put the 7l or so that I collected today into the evap pan and left it on the woodstove - it won't boil and will still slowly evap off a litre or two. Got 2lof nearup from 19l collected sitting in the fridge and the 14l I got yesterday sitting in a snowbunker outside. I've done this long enough to know that all this is just par for the course, and that a certain amount of thumb-twiddling is expected, but I'd much rather be griping about having 45l in holding to boil and be running around getting wood and combustibles into Shack Whacky and firing it up....then staying up til 2 in the morning to finish a batch, and fall into bed before clambering out at 7 to get up go to work, come home, collect another 45l and be running myself into the ground all over again...
