Force4,
You are just beyond any point of reaching and too ignorant to know it. More words doesnt make you sound intelligent. Quite the reverse. Getting heated about survival hints tips and tricks is the epitome of stupidity.

You are so busy degrading all that you cannot see the forrest for the trees. Have you been across the country? There are still vast tracts of forest. That is the easiest thing to fix. Plant a tree. As far as wood to burn, it must be dry and seasoned hardwoods else the chimney fills with creosote. A deadly flamable black glassy substance that will catch your chimney and then house on fire. So the best firewood isnt had by cutting down a live tree as it must sit for a year to season, it is finding the recent deadfalls or felling dead trees. Thats all im going to give you. More than you deserve but perhaps someone else on here may benefit from sound advice.

Have you had experience with a fireplace or cooking with fire? No?

Honestly, you sound a bit young. Thats the nicest way I can put how you did sound. The best way to learn is to listen and observe. Ask valid questions. Give input knowing you have much yet to learn, as do we all.

I am done.
