I buy N ID energy logs they are 8lbs each they burn hot and long. A pop up awning is nice to have to have a dry area outside of the tent if its raining or snowing

Cut lots of firewood then cut even more than that. Get some wood chips or straw at the feed store and spread them around your heavy traffic areas of camp. Keeps the mud down and is not as slick when it gets icy.
