I hear a shilleighle can be made from black thorn, and when cured is useful as a walking stick, and for shooing dogs away or whatever.

I am concerned about the use of kerosene could have on the environment. Is there a green alternative?
Since you ask
How to Make a Torch in the Wild
Know you'll need basic materials to make a torch in the wild. Use a fairly thick branch or stick and tie a piece of cloth (from the bottom of your pant leg or a piece of your jacket if necessary) around it at one end; find some sort of slow-burning fuel if possible, such as tree sap, animal fat or even chapstick if you have it with you. Tips & Warnings
Avoid tearing too much cloth from your clothes; you'll need as much of your clothes as possible to keep you warm, especially at night. Keep from getting hypothermia.
Never touch an animal found already dead to obtain animal fat for fuel; it may have died from rabies or another fatal disease. Stay away from all live animals showing signs of erratic behavior and/or with foam around their mouths; these are not okay to hunt and eat.

The last tagline I tried got banned.
“Obama is a fine orator and Janet Napalitano is a cunning linguist”

Do yourself a favor and rent it... It has sword fighting AND Andre the Giant!
Seriesly, rent it. It's a genuinely sweet movie and Cary Elwes and Mandy Potenkin are really terrific in it. And Robin Wright is such a babe, you almost forget that she's Sean Penn's ex! Almost.

Well, there's water, but it's a little harder to get lit.
