firewood-gatherer
Forest fuel harvester
A firewood-gatherer is someone who collects wood for burning, whether for heating, cooking, or campfires.
The term appears in anthropological or historical contexts describing traditional labor roles: In many societies, firewood-gatherers walked miles each day.
It can also describe anyone engaged in the task: We sent the kids off as firewood-gatherers while we set up camp.
