So, I am trying to gather the perfect kit of tools for gathering firewood when Jeep-Camping. I go out into the forest when I camp now so I am trying to source the right list to do the job.
I just bought a 30" Bow Saw with a green-wood blade. That should be perfect for a chain-saw replacement.
Now it comes down to the axe... Should I just get a splitting maul and be done with it? I plan on sawing about 2-foot segments of downed trees around the campsite area and then splitting them if they are large enough.
Well, that's my plan. What's yours? How do you gather firewood? Do you just burn big branches that are on the ground all night? Do you just saw 4"-6" logs into small segments and burn them all night? Is splitting wood overkill when camping in the woods?
