I'm pretty sure most are OK with you burning anything that's "dead, down and on the ground"

...they don't like you bringing it in though

Actually, there are parks that gathering wood is prohibited. You can bring it in, but you can't take it back out. Some places require that you by it on-site. But, it varies with the park. I check before I go. I'm ok with buying wood at the park to avoid the hassle. It's an easy way to support the park, the way I look at it.

That's literally burning money. Which is ok, if you have money to burn.

Unless you have a way to magically make wood appear if we aren't allowed to gather wood. And we aren't allowed to bring in outside wood, then that's the way it goes. I'm not special enough to think the rules don't apply to me. If $20 is going to break me, I shouldn't be buying any of this stuff.

An example of bizarre fire rules is that Virginia has a statewide fire ban during daylight hours in spring. So you can go camping and have it be kind of cold, and collect some downed branches off the ground and have a nice fire at night. But if it's cold in the morning and you have a big pile of leftover wood, you can't start a fire to warm up a bit the next morning.

Part of the invasive insect issue is hauled firewood so it is a good idea to follow the local rules.

I missed a whole page of responses. Sorry for being re-dumb-dant.

I will not piss you off again.

I promise.

I'm sorry to have commented in a way that made you angry or upset. I did not intend this result. I don't know how I offended you with what I said, but I obviously did.

Won't happen again.

You haven't offended or pissed me off. You're comment seemed a little snarky, though, so I responded in kind Maybe you didn't mean to be and I took it wrong. That would be my bad

Like I said, all parks have their own rules and they change, so you have to check with the park you're in... better yet before you're in.
