Personal consumption, Do you help produce some of what you use? Options

[Denise]

We all know how much we consume daily, especially when it comes to food and power.
What I want to know is how many of us produce some of the things we consume.

We use solor panels for our power and have a garden with many edible goodies. Every bit helps!
Do you hunt or raise your own meat, have a garden or fruit trees, use solor panels or a wind turbine, etc.?
We would love to hear about it!

Thanks for the offer but we have just a personal agreement with this land owner and a couple others adjacent to cut deadwood off the lots and there isn't a time frame limiting us so we'll be able to get wood here for awhile. We can't bring others on the property though as it's inside a gated mountain community with strict rules about access to non owners.

I think the FS is still selling firewood cutting permits if you need some wood though. Give the local district a call, there are many places that could use some fire mitigation just like that lot pictured. Used to be $10.00 per cord for the FS firewood cutting permit.
Watch out for mining claims when out cutting though, claim owners have first rights to that timber.

Thank you, but no I do not need any firewood. My house right now does not even have a a wood stove or fireplace. I was just offering up help. I did a lot of volunteer fire mitigation this summer and found I enjoy cutting wood especially for a good purpose.
