THESE ARE BEST FOR FALL AND WINTER ONLY. TINDER FROM BARK CEDAR, BIRCH, TULIP, BASSWEED, ELM, AND GRAPE ARE BEST AND EASIEST TO GATHER. DO NOT STRIP LIVE TREES. KINDLING FROM TREES EVERGREEN TWIGS, "SQUAW" WOOD, COTTONWOOD, WILLOW, ALDER, AND ASPEN ARE EXAMPLES. DEAD TREES ARE BEST FOR THIS TOO. FUEL FROM TREES HICKORY, OAK, BEECH, BIRCH, MAPLE, ASH, AND MESQUITE BURN WELL. DEAD TREES ARE BEST FOR THIS TOO.
