Unfortunately, the guy who cut the firewood crossed a national boundary to get it, but beforehand he paid off the foreign government so they would let him cut firewood at no charge. Then he wanted to sell it back to the neighbor across the boundary. No. First principles apply to every action a person takes. What are the natural rights here? If the guy who cut the firewood invaded another's property to obtain the firewood, then he is violating that other person's natural rights. If the guy who cut the firewood voluntarily exchanged money with another person to cut firewood from that person's property, nobody's natural rights have been violated. That would be a free exchange. Every "real life" action can be examined with a natural rights framework.
