Libro de respuestas de especialidades JA/Campamento/Buscar leña

Si acampa en un campamento comercial, traiga su propia madera o compre algunos en la tienda del campamento. Tenga en cuenta que en muchos lugares, no es legal el transporte de leña a través de las fronteras estatales. Estas son leyes importantes para respetar y obedecer.

At a campground, do not gather firewood from the surrounding forest! Most campgrounds have rules against this, and it is not so they can sell you expensive wood. In a heavily camped area, the forest simply cannot sustain that level of use. Rule breakers will already have depleted enough of the forest - don't add to their sins!

If there was already a fire ring present, if it is allowed, and you are in the wilderness, gather firewood well away from the campsite. Do not cut down any trees, live or dead. Dead trees are an important habitat for many forest creatures. Instead, look for fallen limbs that are not lying in full contact with the ground and use those. Wood that is lying fully on the ground will likely be too wet to use as firewood.
