Everything you need to get started tapping 5 of your maple trees. Also good for Birch Tapping. All of the components of this kit are real items used by professional maple syrup producers. All made in the USA or Canada. No cheap knock offs. All you need is a container for the tubing t dispense into to collect your sap. Empty 5 gallon water jugs, 5 gallon pails, or even well rinsed milk jugs or juice jugs can be used. Having these containers in the snow will help keep your sap COLD & FRESH vs buckets hung on a tree. Much cheaper using this method vs. buckets as well!
