What can I do to make my fire control torch last longer?
Make your torches work anywhere short of underwater, last twice as long, and get a dimmer switch. If you can create shapes that don’t start fires, then strap a chunk of wood to your helmet or coat it with oil and you get a resilient torch but both hands are free.
