firewood

[bnsafe]

how do yall get our firewood while staying on national forest ground. i assume you just cut up whats on the ground. is that legal.

We ususally get whatever is on the ground or look for beetle-kill to cut down if we have a chainsaw.

Scott,
With all of the beetle kill, the FS lets you cut and burn any dead trees needed for campfires.
You need a permit to remove and take home to burn

We hunt in a non beetle-kill area, so we cut up what is on the ground and if that isn\'t enough, we will take down dead trees around camp as well.

Scott
in addition to my chainsaws, i carry one of these in my tuck.
They will take down an 8in tree very easily

An axe will work just fine if you find the right area with a lot of downed timber, although the chainsaw makes it a lot quicker!!
