Fascines are bundles of brushwood used for various purposes such as creating flat paths, preventing erosion, adding strength to earthen structures, and filling trenches. They have been used for centuries and can also be made with plastic tubing for modern applications.
Fascines are bundled collections of brushwood they are used to in different basic applications. A common use of the charm is in making a path that is relatively flat relative to the surrounding terrain. These bundles of brushwood can also be used to protect a strip of land from erosion, as well as add strength to some sort of earthen structure. All of these applications have been in use for centuries, with well-documented examples found as far back as the Roman Empire.
The key to building a faggot is sorting and packing the brushwood so that it creates a more or less uniform barrier that can be used for the application at hand. For example, creating a flat, somewhat dense curb is an ideal option when building a path on a soft patch of soil. The presence of a series of faggots in swampy areas or even on soils saturated by a large amount of rain prevents individuals from getting bogged down as they try to cross the area.
Another common application of brushwood kindling is in helping to protect an area from the effects of erosion. For example, placing kindling along the banks of a stream will help slow bank erosion. At the same time, it can be employed as one of the components in earth dams, or even in dwellings created with clay or other forms of earth materials. The presence of the undergrowth helps to add more stability to the structure, thus lengthening its life.
Faggots have long been used in war situations. Bundles can be used to fill trenches, making it easier for infantrymen and even tanks to cross the terrain. Fascinating swamp trails also help make walking faster and easier to manage. The attractive earthen structures can also be used to protect artillery batteries while still allowing easy access for the artillery.
During the 20th century, the other products were also used to create a modern version of the charm. One approach involves the use of sturdy plastic tubing tied into bundles. The outer layer of the pipes is sometimes equipped with chains that cross several pipes. The end result is a sturdy charm that can be assembled in advance and carried on tanks to be deployed whenever the tank enters an area with difficult-to-navigate terrain.
