There are many methods for making your own survival torch. A simple one involves soaking a wick in vegetable oil. You can also try fresh picked cattails or birch Bark. Kerosene will burn faster. To light the flame, use the wick. Here are some ideas to make survival-torches.
Infuse wicks with vegetable oil
You can make a survival torch from birch bark, scraped cedar Bark, or fibers from long plants like burdock. To make a simple fire torch, cut a dry branch into sections about two feet long. At each end, make a small slit about six inches deep. A piece of twig can be used to hold the slit open.
Freshly picked cattail
You can make a survival flashlight using fresh cattail. Cattail, also known by kelp is a flammable herb. It is flammable and can catch on fire but can be quickly extinguished. It is not recommended that you use this technique inside a building. Also, you should never light the torch in an enclosed space or near any other flammable objects.

You can tie the ends of each strip by inserting a stick onto one end. The handle should go on the one end, and the flame on another. The flame should be wrapped around the remainder of the birch tree bark, with the flame centered on it. Light one end and wrap it with cordage. Next, light the other end with cordage. A cattail head or a cotton sock can be used as a wick.
Using kerosene
It's possible to make a survival torch with kerolse to stay safe and warm out in the woods. First, get a stick of at least two feet in length and several inches wide.
