Guest guest Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 1. If lost in the woods with no light...find the tall spiked plants known as the Mullein-Plant. This common plant grows 5-6 feet tall along country roads and fields. How to use the Mullein as a Lamp: a. pull the tallest Mullein-Plants up by their roots; keep plant whole. b. press the leaves the to the stem and make a tall torch-like stem. c. Light the end of the " plant-torch " ; the oils from the leaves keep the stem-lighted for about 1/2 hour. (secure the leaves to the stem). Note: Put several Mullein-plants together to create a " Flare-signal " . The Roman-soldiers discoverd the " Mullein-Torch method " centuries ago. A./Ct. (note a plain twig or branch from a tree only burns a minute). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
