All you need is: a maple tree drill spile/tap thermometer a bucket Don’t have a maple tree? Ask a neighbor if you can tap theirs. They don’t have one? Then it’s time to go on a snowshoeing adventure to find one!

My sister and her husband make maple syrup from their trees. It’s fantastic. I hope most people know that the cans you buy in grocery stores are not pure maple.

Catdad used to tap the trees on some rural land he owned. Boiled it down over a wood fire until the volume was down to several gallons then brought it home to finish the boil on an electric stove.

We had a maple tree growing up. Never thought to tap it - likely too thin. Did climb it quite a few times. Would hide up there.

My husband just informed me it has to be a Sugar maple not the kind my neighbor has.
Now I'm all sad.
