[video]http://vid119.photobucket.com/albums/o133/billrobo/IMG_5291.mp4[/video]I held a meet two weeks ago with the theme of natural light only, torches were banned, only in emergencies, or for bed time reading, so the guys would have to make their own lantern, although paraffin ones were aloud.
In the woods at night I felt a more connected, doing this again in the next meet as well, it really did feel good not to see torches about.[video]

First one is a normal house candle wrapped in birch bark and slotted in a piece hazel.
Second one is pitch pine processed resin, burns Smokey
Third one is another one of my creations, the top and bottom made of slices of oak, insert four dowels and a lifting mechanism with a hole in the top about the size of a tea light, all wrapped up with sewn together raw hide dog chews, using sinew. Not the brightest but still shone good at night in the dark woods.
