Kd, I guess that depends on the type of area you're in. Our last trip I played the sucker and paid the 5 bucks for about two hours worth of dried seasoned wood at a convienience store.....for the "fire ring".......been such a bad vacation, I said what the heck......lol Best thing to do is drop off the camper if in an isolated place and let the chainsaw do your talking. If on national forrest NO NEW GREEN trees may be taken.....HOWEVER, felled trees are WELCOMED game for a campfire. It clears the dead wood allowing for new growth, and provides the camper with a happy campfire. It's usually seasoned, and burns well..... for what it's worth, pound for pound, all wood burns the same, and puts out the same BTU's, green wood will burn slowly for a long time, and still put out the same BTU's (all in all), as a very dry seasoned wood that burns in half, or less the time.
