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!!

Only my south facing taps running well today. Still pretty cold in the woods.
How's it running for others........
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,

About 3/4 gpt here. Been fighting a lifter that’s acting more like a ladder.
Bringing it in but not like I would have expected. Must have a major leak somewhere but I sure can’t find it.
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!
