Kind of fun right? I’ll definitely try to take better photos that are more clear. Have this one from the other day, too - [ATTACH] It’s got a...
Went out for a snowshoe with the soon to be Mrs. this afternoon on our property. Took the dogs with and they had a blast. Snapped a few pictures...
Hahaha! I have a rule here at our house. 20 mows per year or less. Got a four or five inches of fluffy stuff overnight. Finished plowing and it...
Those massive mapling operations are just incredible.
Wow, beautiful area there. I’ve been meaning to ask a friend of mine who flies a drone with a camera if he’ll come do a flyover of our property. I...
Freeze up is a pain for sure. Sap flow cut off once this cold hit a couple days ago but we still have a couple tanks about half full. Hoping to be...
I’ll get some better pictures today if I can thaw out the tanks and get boiling. Pretty basic setup. I use an old home built boiling arch and a...
Soooo many taps. That’s awesome.
Made the right call. Sap flow has been excellent. Couple late nights finishing and bottling but it’s all worth it. 150 gallons of sap through the...
Thanks for all the insight and tips everyone. You’ve all given me some things to think about here. Tanerite is an interesting thought. The only...
A couple years ago on a stormy night the wind uprooted an ash and an oak together on a hillside area of our property that was logged by the former...
Thanks for the tips dingbat. That’s good to know. My boards are just fine then. Someone can definitely send them through a planer and they’d be...
Got most of the tapping done between yesterday and this morning. 132 taps in so far. 12 buckets along our driveway and the rest on lines. One...
The last couple years I felt like I tapped too late when setting first taps near the end of February. Got a good stretch this next week of perfect...
Well, looks like winter is letting up from the negative temps and snow for a while. Got a good run in the forecast of high 30s during the day and...
Looks like some beautiful hill country in the pictures behind you Mark. Be careful - Don’t get too addicted to working with chainsaws. Well, maybe...
Thanks for the tips, JB.
I tell people that I live beyond the dam. Hahaha.
It’s never too cold! Been milling red cedar and harvesting logs for the mushroom laying yard. Also gearing up to tap our maples this Sunday when...
Pretty awesome! Much lower impact to your woods than an ATV with a hauling arch.
