    Better then nothing, but yeah theyll most likely burn quick and take up a bit of room if not broken down

    The old nails in them don't matter? I think some places won't let you burn pallets cause of that.

    I have a pallet or two sitting in the backyard of my office. Would way rather bring that then buy 20-30$ of wood..

    Pallets make great tinder to start a fire but burns quickly. We have lots of pallets that we cut down to use as tinder, just sits in a pile in back of building and anybody can help themselves to it.

    Okay guys. We're at camp, and there's cell reception (Verizon, AT&T confirmed)

    Use this map as a guide. It is mot the exact coordinates:

    http://goo.gl/maps/VAFBg

    After you exit the freeway (Eagle Lakes exit), the gps will say 3 miles to the coordinates. Shortly after, you'll see a couple of bathrooms and big dumpster on your left. Good place to air down.

    Follow straight and the GPS will tell you to take a left on Grouse Ridge Trail, follow it.

    When your GPS says .5 miles left, it'll start to go off the gps route. A quarter mile after, you'll see the first fork. We've marked it with a paper bag with a "TW" and an arrow right.

    Shortly after, there will be another fork: left or straight. You'll see a red shop rag taped to a tree branch (straight), follow it.

    From there you just follow the trail and there's no other way to go. Go until the end, that's where you'll see us
