In Calif is seems they're not allowed to clear out deadwood leading to a lot of kindling laying around and now there's fires everywhere. Is Montana and other states the same?

True that. I was camping there two years ago. Went for a place to see where the bears do it. All the dead logs make it a lot easier to take care of business. LOL

This is what happens when you have 50 years of people building homes in the trees and small fires are always put out ...... big fires. And they will get bigger.
