With the cost of gas so high, I want to find free firewood close to home. This would be trees which have been cut down and the owner wants to get rid of the wood.
I have not done this before. Up to now I have paid for wood cutting permits from the Forest Service and gone up to the woods to get my firewood.
So how do you folks find down trees like this free for the taking? Newspaper classifieds? Drive around, see down tree, ask homeowner? Place ad in local newspaper? Other?
Also I can imagine all sorts of trouble with this! Any things to avoid or beware of? I don't intend to cut down any trees for anyone (that should keep me out of trouble), just remove the wood once the tree is down.
