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?

Some points... You can NOT take "firewood" across the US/Canadian border, in either direction, PERIOD. That is wood with the bark on.
Additionally many states, including Calif forbid you to transport "firewood" (wood with the bark on) into California (and yes I have been asked).
The reason has to do with transport of pests. They don't want you taking say Pine-Bark Beetle from an area where it is found, to an area where it is not.
Most places (all?) that sell the prepackaged "firewood", the wood has been treated (usually heat) to kill the pests. I am not aware of any state/nation that forbids transport of this wood.
Obviously pallets, lumber-cuts offs, etc should be OK also.
