1/2 hour to visit family and get wood? that sounds like no big deal to me. They probably have a trailer, so maybe you can borrow that?How far is too far to go for wood? I have two cousins in the landscaping business and they always have wood. They live about a half hour from me one way. I also often see free wood posted online. I only have a small pickup with a 5' bed and max payload of about 1300lb payload. So I'm not getting a whole lot of wood per trip.
You can also rent a Uhaul trailer for about $35. Worth it if you can make a few trips1/2 hour to visit family and get wood? that sounds like no big deal to me. They probably have a trailer, so maybe you can borrow that?

I've kept it local for myself, especially with the trailer, quite frankly a loaded trailer with a blown tire scare's me when I'm not in town or 30 min radius from my placeThanks for all the comments. I have no issue visiting family. Just curious how far everyone was driving. Turns out I have a buddy a half hour the other direction too with some oak rounds .I need to get off this site and get scrounging!
