After a prolonged, wet snowfall, or in regions where the forests are always wet, even the standing dead trees may hardly burn at all. Dead birch is often worthless; the wood is wet and punky within the bark. The bark, however, is excellent for starting a blaze. Dead hemlock is also likely to be rotten and wet, even though standing. Where oak is available, the dead branches offer the first choice for fire, and most oaks carry some dry, dead branches. Resinous, dead branches of most conifers burn well. These may be broken into small kindling material and, if wet, may be peeled off the soaked surface and ignited by use of a fire-making candle or a small amount of gasoline from the fuel supply. Or tinder may be shaved or split from the dry interior of branches. Small, standing dead maples which have not become rotten make good firewood after the blaze is well started if they are first dried out over the blaze. It is sometimes necessary, in storm, to pile the wood on the fire tepee-wise to protect the fire inside from snow and to dry the wood to the point where it will burn. Don't underestimate the quantity of wood that an all-night fire will require.
Ordinarily, dry, dead trees which have not been denuded of limbs and "squaw wood" (the small dead limbs under the live crown of a tree) are the most desirable. A few green poles four feet long laid side by side make an excellent hearth for a roaring and welcome campfire.
Small trees can frequently be broken off by rocking, either by repeated pushing or by use of a rope. Some mountaineers carry a small ax despite the undesirability of increased weight. Far better for those who anticipate the need of cutting green poles and dry firewood is a thin saw blade 36 inches long, 1 inch wide, and weighing 3 ounces, which is commercially available. Two four-inch nails are the handles. It rolls into a four-inch circle, yet can be used effectively to cut trees over a foot in diameter. The simplest method is to use it as a two-man drag saw, although a bucksaw can be improvised with a bent green pole four feet long, split at each end, with the ends of the blade made fast by the nails as pins.
