A maple sugaring incremental. The weather is the clock. Late February: a sugarbush under snow and a cold sugarhouse at the foot of the slope. Sap runs only on a day whose night froze and whose afternoon thawed, so you play the forecast. Tap the bush before the big run, gather the pails, keep the fire under the evaporator, and boil the season down into jars before the buds break and the sap turns.
What you do Tap by the trunk. A tree's size says how many spouts it takes safely: none under 10 inches across, one from 10, two from 18, three from 25. Drive more and it gives more sap this spring and pays for it in health for years, charged on the most taps it carried, so pulling them on the last day does not dodge it. A bush tapped greedily every spring dies. Draw the tubing.
Buy gravity tubing and drag steel blue lines down the slope. Sap only runs downhill: never uphill, never two level steps in a row, never over a rock. Thin for firewood. The evaporator burns wood. Fell a tree and its neighbours get the light, and a sapling sprouts from the stump two summers later. Dead trees can be felled too.
