your trees must have gold leafs,,,, LOL!
around here you can buy pine as low as $50 per face cord(4 feet x 8 feet x 16 inches) typically refereed to as "a cord" (not to be mistaken for a bush cord or what is considered to be a real cord 4'x4'x8') hardwood mix depending on the dealer $70 to $80,,, to as high as $100 if you live in a city for a face cord. (+a delivery charge) perhaps your pricing is for a real cord or bush cord, around these parts its a little different how its advertised and sold.
yes I deal with firewood a fair bit as I heat my house and shop with it from mid november to march, have an old classmate that owns a tree maintenance service in the area who also sells,,,firewood, go figure that one, cuts trees down (gets paid) sells the wood (gets paid)
mostly I go out and cut and dry my own firewood for my house, but occasionally do a little trading that nets me a truckload or 2.
the bundles or bags typical here you could fill about 50 from a face cord $8 x 50,,, or even the low end price of about $6.50 x 50
capitalism is great, and I will exercise my right to shop for the best price, and won't allow someone to rob my wallet through a self created monopoly
oh the letter I have was a result of an inquiry to clarify their rules, the intention of having it is as said encase I encounter an overzealous gate attendant at a provincial park, he can decide whether he/she would like to follow it up with their big boss (who wrote the letter) being a park rule copies of legislation would not be any real asset. that said I have not had to use it (yet) as all the employees seem to be aware of the rules (and the exceptions to) they are to try and enforce.
I have heard other campers in person mention a few private parks that won't allow outside firewood in, I just don't write that stuff down as I typically don't go to private parks. And "Dodgeguy" on here has mentioned his experiences.
Why would any of us lie about that, I have no reason to lie about my experience with the one and only private park I have stayed at in over 10 years, nor about what other people have said, it serves no purpose to me

shall I continue? that came on the first couple pages of a simple search, "park rules, no outside firewood" that brought up many many pages of results, I am sure to alter a couple search words a little would bring up even more, and those are the parks that actually note it on their website.
