Poison Oak burning (spoilers)


Why did they decide to burn poison oak at the scene where they first got attacked by the Indians?

reply

Ugh, did anyone pay attention during this movie?

Answer: Poison oak is poisonous therefore creating a barrier between them and the awaiting Indians so they can escape. Walnut explains this when he tells the story of him witnessing a guy who died by breathing in the smoke.
