Once or twice a day we take 5 gallon buckets and walk around the woods emptying the sap from the sap sacks into the buckets. Then we carry that sap to the pan where we boil it.
Here is a video of sap "running."
These bags will hold 4 gallons, but we usually empty them before they contain much more than a gallon.

We drink sap in place of water while working in the woods. It is very refreshing.
Notice how clear and colorless maple sap is.
