To fully defy nature I felt that I should use some electricity, which is nowhere to be found in the wilderness. I attached this little lamp to an extension cord running to a nearby building, and used it's cheerful light to read, and work on some cross stitching. My own little campfire. Too bad I couldn't roast marshmallows over it, although it did zap a bug or two that snuck into the tent, much to my amusement.
