Where do you get firewood on the desert
Just wondered where most people get firewood when boondocking in Arizona deserts. I imagine its not legal to harvest dead wood if you can find it so what do people use for firewood?

It is not illegal to collect firewood as long as it is not private property or state trust land, or otherwise posted.
It must be dead, no cutting of live trees. Mosquite is the best and used by many of us for cooking burgers and steaks.
Be sure not to burn paloverde, you will not like it. The smell is awful.
