Customer Reviews
I bought this to keep in my car for the winter in case I ever get stuck driving in the snow. I cant write a real review because I would only use it in an emergency situation however I am a little disappointed that the picture shows two when you only get one.
People who have never actually built survival shelters talk of building elaborate survival shelters if they ever get lost...In truth, if lost, but then get re-oriented, one would walk out until you ran out of light (natural and flashlight); or if injured, would be unable to build any shelter...A survival poncho allows one to hike into the cooler temps of the evening, then when having to stop, simply and humbly learn against a tree, light these candles under your knees in the "tipi" formed from your poncho. Bees wax candles emit about 2.5 the thermal output compared to parrafin. This (or any candle) is also great for getting a fire started. One bearded ole guy even did some temperature measurements with this set up and posted a You Tube video...It works!
I picked this candle up years ago at the exchange. I decided to put it in the ammo can that I kept in the back of my car for emergency uses. Growing up in the Midwest you continually hear how you're supposed to keep a coffee can, and a candle to heat the inside of your car if you get stuck in the snow.
Years later, I was working at a job site where I had no access to the building, and the temperature dipped down to the low 40s. Everything was fine, until the heater in my car decided to break down. Hoping for the best I emptied out the ammo can, put the candle in the center of the ammo can, and lit all three wicks.
I can say that it puts out a hell of a lot of heat for being as tiny as it is. It puts off a decent amount of light, but it's primary use is heat.
Wicks are worthless. I ended up using my bore cleaning pads as wicks on my hunting trip. Otherwise this candle woulda been dumped from my pack. Buy better wicks if you buy this. Dangerous if u need this in a real emergency.
The slow burn candle burns longer but the flame is very small. My next one will be the stronger flame.
