Where do yall go cutting?

[K-techcowboy]

Hey everyone im kinda running out trees that need to come down. So what do I do when I run out as I need fire and milling wood? I dont have any friends with property.

Luckily, I have permission to cut at a local arborist's dump site. Sometimes it's slim pickings because he saves most of the wood for his firewood business but I manage to get enough for myself.

BLM firewood permits.

I can't throw a rock without hitting a tree. Dead standing, blown down... It's all trees, everywhere.

We had a major ice storm this past year. There are still down trees all over, and people posting CL ads for "free firewood, you cut/haul".

US Forest Service firewood permit…8,000 to 10,000 feet of elevation.

Get log length delivered. I have done that in the past, see loads getting worked on now.

There must be some way to cut on state land as Earth day work parties involved signing the woodcutter release form.

I pay $16 per metric tonne to the Forestry Department to cut wood that loggers leave in local forests.

I have found people that had their property logged. They usually let you clean up the tops. About 8 yrs back I got 80 cords of red oak from 10 acres that was logged. Im lucky now. I walk out my back door. I cut 20 crd of dead blk cherry into 16ft logs last year. I just started hauling them up to the shop. Cut split and stack. Should be done in a few more weeks. It keeps snowing and raining. The tractor cant come back up with the logs in the grapple if the hill is muddy.

Maybe look at Craigslist or marketplace or free sections for free firewood.

I live in the city. When one of my neighbers cuts down a tree, chances are they have no idea what to do with it. If its not a Ponderosa Pine I will stop by and see if I can help dispose of unwanted wood. This works so well that 4 out of 5 cords I burn are nearly free.

The state recently opened a cutting area near me. Nice selection of mixed Fir, Hemlock and Alder.
Just got my third permit today.

This was last fall maple and black cherry.

I live on Vancouver Island. We go through a prolonged wet season in the winter, and right in the middle of it is a big windstorm or two. That's when neighbours run into trouble with their oak, sometimes maple, arbutus (Americans call them Madrona) or cedar getting knocked over. So I drive over to the neighbour's house and cut up the tree. Most winters that's how I resupply my firewood needs.

Where I live I can cut all I'll ever need off of state and federal ground. In OK, that's tougher to do, although not impossible. If you live near a national forest, look into getting a firewood permit to cut there. It's $5/cord here, (although no one actually keeps track of how much you're cutting. It's all on the honor system) Also, keep an eye on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. You'll see lots of ridiculous adds where people are wanting tree work done for the wood, but occasionally you'll find a some good wood on there. And in the mean time, make some more friends.

5 bucks a cord. That's a great price.

Yup. Don't know where the OP is in OK, but a person can get firewood permits for the Ouachita National Forest there. https://www.fs.usda.gov/main/ouachita/passes-permits/forestproducts

Cool thanks. Yea I've seen some Craigslist adds most are either a ridiculous amount of work for crap wood or its pretty much rotten. Lol one recent one was a massive dead pine like 10ft from the dudes house. I'm sure he got a quote for professional removal and crapped himself. If I wouldn't touch it for less then 2500
