You guys aren't very good at cheating...

1. To have a portable fire, I'd use a torch. No, not a flashlight. Take a broomstick, wrap gauze around the end, soak in alcohol, and light with your fire. Learned this from a very cute dancer several years ago. Works great.

2. If possible, have someone tend your fire while you travel and light your new fire. This way you always have one fire going.

Now you say I don't have any fuel, and no gauze or substitute like a t-shirt? I would then ask "what sort of cartoon have I been drawn into, that I'm so ill prepared?"

This was interesting, though. I'm going to have to try to make my own torch...never know when I might have to join up with a bunch of villagers and chase monsters.
