I did it when I was a kid. The guy across the street tapped trees and I had such an interest in it that he got permission from my parents to tap a couple trees in our yard. He tapped the spout into the tree and hung a bucket on it and it was up to me to collect it. It was sorta disillusioning because I would have a great deal of liquid but once I boiled it down there would be next to nothing. I loved everything about it though. The smell of the sugar shack and horses hooked to a sled to collect all the buckets in the woods. I'm feeling nostalgic now. It's a nice memory.
