Abstract: A firewood carrier is comprised of a continuous length of rope having a series of spaced intersecting portions which are retained together in parallel relation to one another by deformable plastic tubular spreaders in surrounding relation to the intersecting portions such that opposite ends of the spreaders are bounded by opposite sides of the rope. The free ends of the rope are passed through the closed or loop end of the rope to form an object-encircling portion in which the firewood can be stacked so that when the free or handle end is lifted the object-encircling portion is contracted into snug fitting engagement with the firewood with opposite sides of the rope engaging longitudinally spaced locations around the stack of firewood.
