To have the wood ready for winter you'd have to have already started cutting and drying the wood by at least 3-4 months ago minimum and that's assuming it's already fairly dry wood. Dead trees, depending how dead and dry they are, could probably do but that's a tiny section of the total forests of course. I live on a 48 acre property and the amount of trees that die naturally each year is about enough to heat the house about 70-80% of the time in the winter with oil filling in the gaps. So that's like 0.2 square kilometres per household or a density of 5 houses per square kilometre, which ain't good.
