Jungle/Forest paths...too dark? Okay?

Stray from the path and you're in peril! -- Great idea for your scenario, Mike.

For dried leaves Ive used dried herbs like basil and oregano, tea leaves, and cigar tobacco.

Your jungle paths look great.  I have some roads that I made out of felt that I use for my jungle games.  I need to add some twisty pieces to add some variety.  Thanks for the inspiration.

Right back at you! Great, affordable idea. I foresee a trip to either the tobacco store (I don't smoke) or grocery store's herb aisle soon...!

Ditto! Used tea leaves and cheap mixed herbs are my blend of choice. You've got to thoroughly dry the tea leaves first though, or they go nasty.

It's never to late to start you know and these days it's probably about on par with wargaming vis a vis social acceptability.

Oooh tobacco, there's a neat addition. I have herbs and teabag leftovers, but no tobacco.

I got the idea when I found some old dried out cigars in my golf bag.  They were those Blackwoods cigars and have a nice coarse texture.  They also smell nice.

I've used dried tea leaves (after they've been read, of course) as well as grocery store herbs in the long distant past.  Thanks for the reminder!

While I no longer worship that Great Irish God, Nick O'Teen, I'm certain that musty, dried out ceegar husks and pipe tobacco pouches still lurk in my camping and reenacting gear, just waiting to tempt me...   In their absence cheap cheroots, are, well, inexpensive, break 'em out the package and let 'em sit on your car's dashboard, they'll dry out nice n'quick...

Some of the cut paper leaf products are truly amazing miniatures in their own right, however pricey.  I imagine that a few of them sown in amongst the 'baccy n'char debris would go a long towards "selling" the bulk of the less detailed detritus.  I certainly plan to try that approach.

Overall I remain amazed at all this jungley goodness.
