You're pretty judgemental...maybe you need a vacation from your vacation.

 

You could get your own but then you wouldn’t have the awesome plastic net bag it comes in from the store.

 

We need to get you on a volunteer agreement with your local resource agency so you can show these folks the error of their ways.

 

Yeah, I know. I’m not liking this at all.

 

a lot of places this is to stop people from bringing wood from a different area that has non native bugs in it. Huge deal here in the central states at campground. no strange or visitor wood allowed. (same thing i tell my wife.)

 

Congratulations to the happy couple.

 

That they will burn in the fire

 

Same here as well as, in parts of the desert you can't posses any native species. Once it dies it becomes habitat since there's so little of it. Other places you can take "dead and down". I (literally) rip out truck loads of non-native/invasive species to control it and some of it ends up in fire rings and we don't really care since I pile it to burn anyway. We have crews throughout the year trim back trees and brush in the campgrounds and roads and I go through with the excavator and dump truck to pick it up but they're usually only here for a couple weeks at a time. They get quite a bit but can only trim and we put them in areas that need the most trimming to get the most out of them. I grab the live stuff with the ex and rip it out at the roots so the regrowth isn't too bad. But you can bring in wood from the local area sold at local stores.

 

Most of what I see sold at stores is from the general area. We do have people getting scraps from the local pallet mills but there can't be any nails in it. Most people are compliant because there is so many nails from years past they don't want to add to it and many will go out with a magnet and police up old fire rings so they don't spread and get flat tires.

 

A campground host that would be perfect!!

 

I’ve bought some in the smokies before that was supposed to have been run through a kiln.

 

I’m empty!!

 

Thanks Marty

 

The store bought is kiln dried, which kills the bugs dead, plus, it then burns like paper and you have to buy (much) more!

 

It’s been a loooong day!

 

Where are you now?

 

@jwctaco - Did you happen to see the Gibson custom 1963 SG reissue for sale in the other section? Is that some of your handiwork?

 

When we were in Utah back in March we bought all of our firewood in Moab.
We had wood left over when we headed home. We left it at the campsite for the next person.
