Firewood storage - What do you do?

[Forest]

Thought I was being clever as I scored some untreated lengths of timber, dutifully cut it up into campfire lengths and stored in charf type bags (Polywoven) ready to grab and go for next camping trip. 

The plan fell over when the bags quickly deteriated, UV got to them I guess? 

Are they other types that do not fall apart (stabilised) or do the swaggers have a better idea?

l have found the best place to have fire wood is in a pit surrounded by rocks , then a bigger circle of chair filled with Swaggers with 1 hand filled with a beverage

I use a canvas bag from Drifta - http://www.drifta.com.au/canvas-fire-wood-bag/

I used to carry the wood in the tub, but got sick of that, I bought a canvas bag that I carry firewood in, it can hold quite a bit. I have a little more room in the tub now, because the bag can go on the roof rack of the camper and I don't have to worry about it getting wet.

I use an old milk-crate or two, of course taking a chainsaw can be an option also.

I used old converted Jerry cans that can stack on the roof or the JC holders on the CT, cut the side out with an angle grinder, screw on some hinges and a catch.



Keep one filled with a mix of kindling and medium timber, the other with either coal briquettes or redgum splits.
Usually enough to get fire going first night, then collect more wherever we're camping.

Made a caged section on one part of my CT.

Still one of the favourite mods I've seen

Not too different to ozstickman in the location department, mine is kept in the jerry can holders on the side of the trailer. Also helps that it is cut to length and milled timber offcuts so it packs tightly to maximise space. If it was logs/branches it would be a different story.

Only camp where I can cut it, much easier.

A couple of big hessian bags from a stock feed supplier.  Don't go to one of the pets and garden supplies places as they want around $12 for the same bag you can buy at a proper stockfeed supplier at about $5

I reckon someone on the forum had a cut down roof basket fixed the toolbox lid of the CT for carting firewood? Maybe D4D?

We have used a milk crate, seed/fertiliser bags, and even some of those reusable supermarket bags. When I am cutting up firewood for the heater, I throw all the smaller stuff or "Ozpig wood" into an old large plastic pot plant thingy.

[ozstickman]

Anyone thought of using bread creates? I sorced a couple of bread creates to use as a shower floor to stay out of the mud but I worked out that maybe they could be handy to carry wood and also might be able to placed on top of your camper and not do damage.  We have a mesh flip over boat rack so we don't need to place them on the tent cover.

I can get more bread creates if wanted.

Maybe you could put your wife in one also ?

I only camp next to someone that cuts it, much easier.

And a non slip surface for filleting slippery fish such as snapper or baldchin.

I've bolted chequer plate and tie down loops onto my toolbox lid. If I carry large pieces they just get strapped down onto the lid to be cut into smaller pieces at the campsite. For smaller pieces I put them in feed sacks and strap them onto the lid too.

Like this?



I had to cut the back out of mine so the toolbox lid still opened fully.  D4D was able to retain the back of the rack.

[ozstickman]

That would work well too Scarps.

I'm lucky because I can also strap a bit of wood on the top my camper too neck to the Kayaks.  I have a fold over boat rack with mesh.

Depending on how much wood I carry, storing it on here can be a bit of a pain as I may have to remove it to be able to lift the toolbox lid, but mainly use this area for adhoc timber I may pick up on route, wet flooring/tarps etc or rubbish storage on the way home.

Yes that could be a pain the rear.

Here ya go. Filled the cage with some of the wood.
