I have found plenty of wood near my cabin, but it's such a long way to haul wood. Last year I got lucky and stood in line in freezing cold to get a free permit for 2 cords on BLM land. The wood was less than 2 miles from my house and already cut into rounds. I was done in 1 hour.
This year I will have to travel abit out of town to find good areas.
The average distance is 8 miles. I learned last year that I am allowed to cut any Juniper dead or alive. Juniper is premium wood and drys super fast.
There is lots of Juniper close by my house.
Problem is, Juniper is hard on my saw. It does much better on pine and cedar. I will be buying my permits today.
I pay $10 a cord and a 2 cord min.
Good thing I still have 1 cord left from last year.
