## Abstract

A firewood carrier which is front mounted, enabling the wearer to both load and transport firewood with ease. One pair of the curved ends of this two S-shaped tubes device is padded and placed over the wearer's shoulders, leaving the other end of the device, which is braced by a plurality of crossbars and preferably covered in canvas, positioned in front of the wearer. This arrangement leaves the wearer's arms free to stack firewood onto the carrier.
