How and where do you carry your firewood for stays where you cant collect?

What is reasonable to carry for a 3-4 day stay?

Probably about 10kg a night is enough for a small fire.  15-20kg if you need to cook with it or have a larger group.
I just get the bags from the servo and shove them in the camper/car wherever they fit.

I just pick up the hardwood from around building sites and then cut it up to fir in 20 kg feed bags and it goes on the roof rack or firewood box on the trailer.. Box wood carry enough wood for 2 days and throw 2 bags on the roof for 3-4 nights
