Bountyhunter:
I have seen the Ranger Rick ideas making a torch out of simple things, and I have made the 35mm film canister torch. It is a pretty good idea, but it there is an over flow of whatever you used as fuel, the container will melt. I melted my first one.
I took his idea and applied it to another container. I took a regular Portable Aqua glass container, and made something to fill in the mouth of the bottle as the bottle cap did in Rick's film canister. I works just as good and I don't have to worry about it melting.
I like the one I made, but it really isn't a practical thing to carry.
