I am concerned about the use of kerosene could have on the environment.

Is there a green alternative?

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.
