Hello All,
This is my first post, so please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Steve, I'm originally from East Tennessee and have lived in the UK for the past 11 years. I'm planning my first, albeit long overdue wild camp at Loch Trool in Galloway Forest, to be exact. Having grown up in the mountains of Tennessee, I'm well experienced in wild camping or back "country camping" as it is referred to in the States. My question is this. When planning to camp at this location, can I expect to find enough firewood e.g. deadfall etc. for 3 to 4 nights camping, or should I bring some with me? Keeping in mind I will be using the campfire not only for keeping warm, but for cooking also. I should also state that I will be setting up camp within a 15 to 20 minute hike from where I plan on parking, as my wife and young daughter will be me. Therefore bringing firewood, if needed, wouldn't be too much of an issue, just a couple of extra trips to the car. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this post, I look forward to all of your replies.
Regards,
Steve
