How much wood for 4 nights of camping?

There's no wood gathering at the park. Maybe you can find drift woods on the beach. Importing some woods is against the regs as F.H. pointed out. Figure on at least 2 of them bundles you buy at the camp ground for each night for a big rip roaring fire. $45 seems high. A bundle last time I bought one was 5 bucks.

My friend and I went camping for 3 nights and 4 days and burned close to three or four of those store bought bundles a night, and then again in the morning. At night we started burning between 6 and 8 pm and then stopped somewhere between 10 and 2 am. This was last June and we were camping next to a river in the mountains of Oregon. I believe what we took was about 1/8 of a cord.

But without knowing all the variables, no one can accurately give you an estimate.

Don't know what kind of car you are using, but I don't suggest putting a 1/4 cord of wood in any car. This is like so many other questions, only you know how much you need. How big a fire do you burn, for how many people, etc.? To find out, build a fire the size you will like and burn it for the length of time you want, and keep track of much wood you use. You will then have your answer and be confident in your decision.

Too many variables to answer. How cold will it be? Are you building a fire just for the fun of sitting around the fire or are you planning to use it to cook, keep warm? Usually when camping, I don't bring any wood. At least in my part of the country, there is always plenty of deadfall laying around to supply a virtually unlimited quantity of wood.

1/8 cord or 1/4, about 30 bucks worth of seasoned wood. you figure at least 2 of those little bundles at the store a day, but thats light if its cold, its cheaper by the cords. i guess quater, better to be safe

You need 1/2 to 3/4 of a pallet box full.

it's not a bad price, but I'd be more imaginative then you, try to find local saw mill in your area, they often have scrap wood laying around, ask if you could take it off their hands, you'll be helping them and you get free wood, depending on the size of the fire, I'd say you only need 6-7 nice pieces a night of hardwood would do it.

I lived in rolla m.o. and the woods were no where near and I heard them across the yards in the night and call the police and they told me it was maybe a sreaming owl and it was a sream that was like a women we have no mountain lion here

I would recommend that you bring a Gerber hand saw and survival knife with you instead. Keep your pack light and minimum, yet functional. Find dead trees and prepare them for fire making which is much better and efficient than taking heavy load of things that you can find once you get there.
