Camp Torches

[RAGNAR]

There has been some controversy regarding the freestanding torches around the main area of camp.

The torches are of a tiki type design. A large thick glass canister holds the oil and a wick extends through a metal plate covering over the  top of the canister.

The canister sits in an iron framed cradle at the top of an iron post roughly 10 feet off the ground. These posts are driven into the ground roughly two to three feet. The total length of the iron posts are roughly twelve feet.

The height of these torches allows better illumination of the area surrounding them.

The amount of oil is visible within the canister. It makes it easier to see if it requires filling. On average the cannister will hold enough oil to burn from before dusk to shortly after dawn.

Do NOT try climbing the poles to fill the torches. A slave may assume the table position as a platform for filling and/or lighting the torches.

Wagon torches or lamps may vary depending upon the wagon and ownership.

-nods- guesses all the globe cleanin she did was in vain, thanks for the clarification Master, would perhaps for lil people like sin.. a light stick, much like are used for fireworks be twined to the end of a longer stick to aid in the lighting?

[Fishy!]

ok... so what I want to know is how some one as tiny as me lights them.... if Amber had to stand on dakotas back to light them and Im a whole foot shorter.... then I still wont be able to reach it... even from the back of a tabled thrall...I would have to light them from Kailla back... and Im not about to do that...
