An After Hours Compromise
For years, at Pennsic, I have used a lantern that is solar-powered and whose "flame" is a flickering candle-type image that is both incredibly safe and incredibly realistic. The first year I used it, I returned to camp top find a drunk trying to light his cigarette from it :)
Yesterday at Menard's, I bought a small torch. It is similar to a tiki torch but smaller, made of plastic "bamboo" with a flickering candle-like light. It'd be more atmospheric than a flashlight after dark and infinitely safer than carrying around burning rushes. And it cost less than three bucks. Obviously not something to display for MoPs but a nice apres-public hours compromise.
