I gather and process firewood because it is what I learned to do from my grandparents and parents. Some of my earliest memories are from helping my grandmother and mother gather small limbs and place them into the large baking ovens outside. There is nothing better than sitting under the trees with friends and family eating fresh baked bread covered with butter. The warmth generated by firewood is so gentle and nurturing. The processing of firewood is fun and therapeutic. Essentially, gathering, processing, cooking and warming with firewood is as natural to us as watching the sun rise every morning and set every evening. For us gathering, blocking, splitting and stacking firewood is a fact of life and it isn't questioned.
