Need to braai again, we don't braai as often as we once did. Everything off the fire tastes good.

Same here. With wood becoming more expensive on this side, braaing almost a luxury! I remember in 2012 when we bought a 1000 pieces for R300 or so. Now, it is almost R2500 for 1000 pieces of wood.

Wood has gone up in price not having electricity now rely on fire cooking outdoors we noticed it here.

Any wood cut in parks, bakkies go in collecting to dry and sell in location, one has to reinvent oneself continuously to survive.

Interestingly, this did not happen in the cape! After that massive wind storm, various trees still lying on the side of the road. Maybe, I need to get a trailer and pick up some nice firewood for the future. (Edit: I am not always sure about the law regarding picking up wood from public property though.)

If it's on the pavement I'm sure nobody would complain, I am surprised the rural folk have not already arrived to scoop it up.

I will see how things look when I go back next week. Maybe I can still grab some nice big pieces of timber for my garden.

Leaving branches to rot into the ground is good or add into compost heap. Hardy twigs used to lift plants that require being off the ground with assistance, so many uses not to throw away.
