Hello my name is Lonnie and My wife is Connie.
Here at Far North Bushcraft And Survival you will learn about many long forgotten tricks and tips of the old time woodsmen. Not only will you learn about bushcraft / woodcraft but you will learn many things that will help you to survive in less than ideal "survival" situations as well. Come along and sit with me by the campfire as I delve into these subjects in a way that you can easily learn to then do yourself.
I will show you how to make shelters, gather food, use wild medicines as well as start fires with or without matches, lighters, ferro rods, etc - Навчання та стиль
Today's generation don't have a clue how to build a primitive shelter. Great idea thanks!!
A friend of mine once was stranded during a 4 day Blizzard. He made use of a tiny "Ice Fishing" shack. Used a bunch of candles under his chair just like this, to keep himself warm. Just hunkered down and listened to a tiny portable radio 📻. Ate protein bars and a little water. Once his family could travel, they came and found him. Warm, safe, and ready to go home!
Bless you Lonnie. Been watching you for many years. And you'll still get in a garage bag for our benefit and education. 😊
Hope you're well.
People need to start watching these before the internet goes out
We just had a geomagnetic storm yesterday that could've taken the grid down if it was just a bit stronger.
@@benthere8051 Where?
download em, get yourself a USB powered handcrank or excellent solar powered one...problem solved :) and of coarse an energy efficient phone!
@@opopopop6286 Brain and knowledge. Take it from there.
@@bikerfirefarter7280 experience is the other half of the coin though, you can have all the head knowledge you want, and sure it helps, yet without putting that knowledge into effect you will lack exp...and that's also key!
When I was in my teens, I was hunting and became temporarily lost. I was soaking wet, with nothing to start a fire and had no food with me. Luckily, I was able to regain my bearings and find some familiar ground. I made a promise to myself that I would always have a survival kit put together for any future hunting and fishing trips. I love watching videos like yours as the best part of a survival kit is the knowledge in your brain! It's very light but worth tons!
Well, garbage bags and candles are now part of my emergency inventory. Thanks Lonnie!
Garbage bags are real comfy to sleep on too
I was lucky enough to be a wilderness guide in a region of SW Ontario called the Quetico bac in my younger days. It was predominately forested in white cedar and red pine but no maintained trails, or marked portage trails, (or Mickey D's to stop for a burger and fries). We followed the old Voyageur trapper trails of years gone by so the majority of the 2 week trips was made up of "paddle" and "portage", with a bit of tent pitching and learning to work as a team instead of individuals.
Although we didn't have any cold weather to worry about from May into August, when most of our guiding trips were staged, it is still quite challenging to be caught 40 miles back country when a front blows in with a raging heavy rain storm and a drop of maybe 15 degrees in temperature. By the time we got to the nearest portage, a few of the group of 8 young "adventurers" suddenly "remembered that they forgot to pick up their garbage bags before leaving the base camp and were soaked to the skin. Go figure, .. teens ..]
One thing I forgot to mention, almost all of the shorelines of the hundreds of lakes in the Quetico are lined with white cedar trees, a favorite browse for deer, which are very abundant in the area, resulting in the look of almost perfect "pruning" of the shoreline trees to the very height that a white tail deer can reach from their hind legs. These healthy trees will grow so thick in certain areas that they tend to act almost like a natural umbrella, shedding rain towards the outer edge of the foliage much like an umbrella will push the rain down and outward to the edge of its "foliage" or crown.
So, 2 of the group were shivering and quite cold. One had his garbage bag with him while the other did not have her bag. Long story short, the group got an unplanned lesson in emergency survival well before I had originally planned to show them my little "black bag secret". I had them pick the biggest white cedar they could find, group up and squat under the boughs of the trees as I prepared to show them how to make a trash bag poncho! I was concerned about the two people who showed signs of impending hypothermia so I showed them how to carefully light a Bic lighter while holding it inside their "poncho" and explained to them, in no uncertain terms, what would happen if they didn't follow my explanations to the fullest. To my surprise, there were 7 out of the 8 young "adventurers" who also had Bic lighters with them. [Made me feel old since I was carrying a Zippo with me!]
Keep in mind that we were in sort of a critical situation since everyone was wet to one degree or another, and there were 2 people in the group who could have gone into hypothermia within a short time if I didn't come up with a quick solution. All in all, they seemed to grasp the importance of strict following of directions and keeping an eye on each other to make sure that nobody else became overly cold or started shivering uncontrollably AND nobody set themselves on fire! In the 7 summers that I spent guiding in the pristine wilderness of the Quetico, this was the only time when I was really challenged by an unforeseen event spoiling one of my guide trips. Keeping calm and level headed can make the difference in survival or a disaster when you are out there with others and you are the only one who has knowledge and can get through a problem like the one I mentioned.
Had it not been for my father teaching me the basics of outdoors skills and basic survival, throughout my growing up years, and my undying natural love of nature and being as ease in the outdoors, I would not have led such a satisfying life as a student of the outdoors, I am now in my 78th year of learning new ways to do things and new challenges in being at "home" in the wilderness and out of doors. Now I can add "tea" candles to my large list of things to pack in my "bugout" bag, I hope I never have to use that bag because it is becoming almost too heavy for one old outdoors guy to lift!! 😉
So figure out a lighter bug-out bag, also spread the items/load about your person/clothing. Only have essentials (multi-purpose) e.g. knives and cordage, several bags/tarps, plus socks/undies/gloves/sun-snow glasses etc: and minimal duplicate-essential and/or 'single use' (e.g. spectacles, rifle/pistol, fire-starters, flares, fishing, snares, arrow-heads, slings and straps, water tablets, canteens, high-calorie emergency foods, antiseptic, anti-biotics, etc). Also have larger buried-stores food/water/equipment, that your 'bug-out' bag will get you to.
Set out your heavy bag, pretend you are too injured/weak to carry it all, deselect all the 'can do without' items and deselect all 'can re-make while out there' items.
Besides absolute essentials, take ONLY what you NEED to survive.
If you can survive a week with your new/lighter bag, you should be able to extend that indefinitely using your essentials and 'made/found on the go' items.
Personally I have a 2kg 'ditch-bag/ruck-sack' of ONLY super essentials, AND a larger bug-out rucksack (it also duplicates the former 'ditch-bag' contents), AND a full-gear framed ruck-sack (it also duplicates the former 'bug-out' contents. I would take whichever was most appropriate at the time. Failing that I also have several caches within 1-hour and 12-hour reach.
Whew 😄 ☆
I think you have had a full life. Thank you for sharing this story with us.😎💙💛
So would you have used your zippo in place of the tea candles here? I also carry a zippo (I’ve taken to wrapping the base in 1 inch gorilla tape) and if that works it’s one less thing to stick in my pocket, but I thought it wasn’t a good idea to leave a zippo going for more than a couple minutes.

And the Oscar goes to . . . ? ANOTHER OUTSTANDING PRESENTATION!!! Thank you, Sensai!.
When you guys make a video it makes it a good day. I never miss one. Learning from someone explaining things like everyone is not a expert...that's what makes you a good teacher.
Thank you for the Video! I always have a raim Poncho and two tea candles in my backpack. You never know... Take care and greetings from Germany
I'm in a wheelchair. I have a backpack on the back of my chair, and a couple of construction-site type garbage bags in it, along with some duct tape to fashion a shelter for me. One might think I would never find myself somewhere in need of shelter, but I was once at a rural bus-stop in the evening when a heavy snow began, along with wind. The last bus of the day didn't show up. So I pulled a garbage bag over my head and down to my waist, and out over my knees. I had put a cut down one edge, added a bit of tape, and stuck my face part-way out through the slit and waited for nearly 2 hours while the wind blew, it grew dark, and about 3 inches of snow fell, till a car came along and offered me a ride. The garbage bag kept me dry and blocked the wind, and kept me relatively comfortable compared to going hypothermic. The 30 cent garbage bag was basically the difference between being a bit uncomfortable - and dying. I live at the base of the Continental Divide in Colorado, where the weather can be erratic and extreme, and I ALWAYS have a couple of garbage bags, a knife, and a roll of duct tape in the backpack on my chair, even in the middle of summer.
I just wanted to express a debt of gratitude to you for your wisdom which you've graciously shared. I've hunted deer and elk for years, but some of your fire building techniques have made my trips so much more bearable and even comfortable. I have found myself in survival situations before, and thankfully it was never for too long I couldn't handle, or that good preparation couldn't handle for me. Knowledge is power, and you, my good man, empower people.
I'm wondering if there's fat wood in WA?
@@shendricks5996 There definitely is.
@@shendricks5996 absolutely there is
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. I'm the person that would have a garbage bag and candles with me. I always over pack according to my family.
I remember that shelter from years back, I think they called it a "Palmer Furnace". The candles in the Altoids tin is a fantastic idea!
You's are the epitome of what youtube should be
I just watched this video again, and realized I missed the idea of making the candle heater, so since I have some tea candles and some extra altoid cans, I will make up a couple of them and put in my SUV, along with my 55 gallon drum bag liner and poncho! Take care!
As soon as you said you didn't know where you were, my first thought was..."Why not ask that lady behind the camera?" Sorry...couldn't resist that. Thanks Lonnie, your videos always have info worth remembering.
Thank you for your great video and praying for Revival. May the Lord bless you and all America.
My first sarcastic thought thought was right before that, actually. “let’s pretend I’m in a real survival situation” *proceeds to break own leg with a stick*
I bring always at least 2 if them with me,
And I needed more than once.
Thanks for the video, greetings from Belgium
And the very instant he gets all settled in and comfortable, his nose started itching like never before! :-)
Thank you, Lonnie, for so many good ideas! Plastic trash bags! I've used them inside clothes to keep my clothing dry and even used plastic bread wrapper bags on bare feet under socks and shoes. I have really cold extremities, especially at night (at home, too!) Avoid walking far if you put plastic bags on your feet and make sure there are no wrinkles on the soles of your feet. I have a wool blanket---100% wool will keep you Warm!
added tip: Don't practice this curbside on trash night... Great to see another video!
I have for many years used a similar system. I use a military poncho and wool blanket and candle in exactly the same manner. I have switched the spruce bows for a “hot seat” pillow. This produces additional warmth and keeps your butt dry and warm. This has allowed me to continue hunting through rain, snow, sleet or whatever and stay dry and comfortable.
Plastic keeps you warm and moist when cold,itz true,much respect for your skillz 💯😎🦊👑🔥
I expect Lonnie knows the exact best hat for Alaskan survival, I want to know. I am so grateful for these people.
If you are asking what model my hat is, it is the Flinders Reef by Outback Trading
EXCELLENT content!!! I hope everyone realizes how important this video is.
It's amazing how little we need to survive. Most people today don't realize that probably 95% of what we use today in our homes or even camping is a huge luxury. Clearly our early ancestors survived on even less then garbage bags and tealight candles because we are all here today to enjoy electric heaters and weatherproofing homes.
These peole are true heros if any one ever remembers what they show you saves your life than as l said they are heros amd we need more of them
"Who carries a large garbage bag?" I have a few in my bugout bag because they take up so little room, weigh almost nothing and they're invaluable when you're out there. Yet another awesome video Lonnie.
Hello my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing this very informative video. I always carry one garbage bag. Going forward, I will carry two garbage bags and a couple candles. 🤗
Great idea, you got it in the bag.😂Thank you Connie for filming.
Lonnie and Connie have to be two of the coolest, nicest, most sincere people I have ever seen. Connie's cooking videos are great and I love to watch Lonnie's survival ideas. This is another home run. Growing up a country boy myself, you learn to rely on even the most insignificant objects to get a job done. Thank you so much for your videos. Truly genuine loving people and I wish only the best for both of you. I wish we were neighbors.
@joe henry I totally agree with your texting . Since English is not my mothertongue I am happy cause you fully express my thoughts. I Love Connie and Lonnie and I have learned quite a lot concerning survival💪🏻greetings from Zürich🇨🇭Switzerland to all of you🤗🤗🤗
@@rosanna7644 Thank you for your reply Rosanna. I hope everything in Zurich is wonderful. Greetings from Bear Grass, North Carolina USA.
@@ostat843 hi Joe thanks a lot for your replay. Zürich is a small wonderful city everything is near by and easy to reach. I am huge fan of USA🇺🇸that I visited for three weeks back in 1993! An awesome experience wonderful places everywhere with very kind helpful people. God bless America always.
I don't think I've ever seen you act or do a skit before. BRAVO! BRAVO!
I love how you took a moment to get into your scenario. 🤣
I absolutely love you and your wife, although I don't camp much i use sooo many of your tips for just hiking since we never know what may happen just taking a day hike. Tysvm, you sharing your knowledge and experience is absolutely priceless for so many, including me! God Bless you and your family! Ty!
Survival isnt about expensive stuff. Its what you got in your head and what you can do with what you got with you👍🏻 good video Lonnie as always🤠
Ni är bäst! Kramar från sverige🇸🇪
Well said. ;-) Next most useful item; be prepared. What you got with you?
@@bikerfirefarter7280 if you wonder what i pack when im out in the woods i got a home made tarptent, speeling bag, knife, firesteel, alkohol stove and som other small things like rope, fishing hook and so on. The most expensive thing i pack is my sleeping bag. My knife is a mora pro robust. Works great!🇸🇪
@@bemanbabollerpa150 A dictionary might be useful. ;-)
I'm not sure rope qualifies as 'small'.
Good knife, but have two and a secured small sharpening kit. Same goes for two fire-steels.
I take all your list (sleeping bag is a crush-able self-inflating type) plus an emergency water-proof fire-kit and canteen/bottle, water tablets and first-aid. Mobile phone (that operates while its in the bag) with a flexi-solar charger and spare power-pack. Plus signaling kit and para-cord. And a fold-able hat with a wide brim and chin-strap and light-weight gloves. All those should go in closable trouser pockets in their own resealable bags. Several spare bags too as they have many uses. I also have two larger strong plastic bags folded and compressed (emergency shelter/'bivvy-bags' and in case of water-crossing). And 24/48-hour supply of high calorie foods.
The whole lot is compact/light/convenient/cheap.
I have considered a compact EPIRB. What do you think?
You and your wife are amazing! Someone will be watching this in 100 years saying good job on getting that thing around that handsome beard
Oh Lonnie! When you were wrestling with that bag and had to stand up from sitting, I thought, "Here comes another spoof!!" 😂🤗
Always thinking outside the box... or should I say- inside the bag...😁
Love it!
I am 68 yrs old and we grew up poor. And being young not thinking about rain or affording a rain suit, I would always keep a couple or three black garbage bags in my tackle box. Cut a U in the bottom center to put your head through and down a couple of inches cut a U on each side for arms and always had a rain coat. Reusable stores easily and it WORKS.
That kind of a "shelter" also works keeping you dry at an outdoor concert : p
I never would've thought of using it in a survival situation, and the candle idea is brilliant.
Everyone knew this back in the 70’s, look at old football games in heavy rain/snow, most the fans will be in garbage bags.... & them homemade knitted hats with the beer can that matched your teams colors, really miss them days, back when common sense was actually common
@@patrickancona1193 Yeah, my friends and I thought we were really smart, not springing for an expensive rain poncho----then we saw plenty of other people wearing the same thing. Guys were selling actual ponchos for who knows how much. Made me think I should've brought a box of two plys and make some dough.
What a great idea. I need to add tea candles to my survival pack now.
This is how you get rescued! As your testicles begin to warm, you fall asleep. Then your RESCUED!!! - When the search party sees the flaming beard running through the woods.
Seriously though, I really enjoy your work. Thanks for sharing it with us.
The nice thing about the larger drum bags is they have more uses including improvised tarps for longer term shelters as well as bed rolls filled with leaves, etc. Plus they are often available in thicker materials than even the heavy duty can liners
I'm going to check out those 55 gallon drum bags.
That is fantastic! I have not heard about anyone talk about carrying candles in decades. I learned from an old timer to always carry a candle in my pack. I also just so happen to carry my large space blanket as well. Thank you so much, your videos are always so educational and very pleasant to watch.
It looks like a 5 star hotel in the woods good tutorial 🇺🇸👍👍👍👍👍
Lonny speaks....ASMR chills
Candle alternative - Dakota Fire Hole. Create an 'L' shaped tunnel (stones, the ground, etc) and light a fire in the bottom. Position yourself at the exhausts port up top and you don't have to worry about the fairly minimal burn time of a tea candle. Plus, you're not exposed to the open flame. Just some food for thought
Sounds very warm, however I imagine a problem with exhaust gasses escaping around the head.
Brilliant. Thanks!
Thanks, Lonnie and Connie! A few years back I saw a similar video on making a shelter from a waterproof poncho, and using a UCO beeswax candle to heat it. Exact same principle, one thing tho, you need to be able to sleep some sitting up, so for that aspect, every night I prop up in bed, put on a head cover, and sleep for at least an hour, then I move on down and sleep in a “normal” position. Otherwise it could take you half the night to get to sleep so one would be exhausted by morning. I also put my white sound machine on rain, so I am very used to that sound! Ha ha. This is a good way to manage with out having to take so much equipment with you. I like this idea, not much time and energy wasted trying to build something more elaborate!
Video reminded of winter fishing trips out in a dinghy.
We wore old woollen Army great.coats and put a kerosene lantern between our feet.
Great memories.
Thanks again
❤️🇦🇺❤️🍺🥧🦘
Thanks Lonnie, your a legend to regular guys like me. 🙏🏽💯🍻
As before, Lonnie......I have spent over 20 years with our county SAR team here in Oregon.
Your videos are a welcome part of my routine.
We are in the middle of our SAR Academy for this year and tomorrow I will be doing some instruction on various survival skills to include the use of the Ferro rod and fire building.
I wanted you to know the information contained in many of your video’s will be directly contributing to the success of many of these classes.
Hope you don’t mind.....one never ceases to learn.
Thanks.
Another great video from Lonnie and Connie. I can honestly say that is the first time that I have ever seen that trick done, so thank you for the tip. That was some fine acting you did Lonnie but you better never actually get lost because I could see Connie kicking your rump all the way back home for doing it lol
P.S I love you both so much. Such kind people. I haven't checked in for so long.. Not since you made that video about Gods Love and you cried. That was so needed at that time.. God bless you both. 💚💛
Sarah, I JUST found this channel and love your comment. I will look for that video. Thank you and God bless you! 🙏
Hi Cindy, God bless you too! 🙏 The video is called, How we find and experience peace. 🤗
@@1pootle thank you so much for the.name of the video because I couldn’t find it. I will look for it now! Thank you!!!!! 💕 💕💕
I can't help but think of the song chestnuts roasting on an open fire. LOL just finding the humor. It seems the comments are positive and you are good people. So thanks I'm sure some will benefit
Learned something similar in SAR. Drum liners are usually 6 mil so 3 times as thick. I have a hard time finding them though. I Always carry these items as well as a fleece head covering for a little extra warmth. Awesome Lonnie and Connie. You two rock.
ACE HARDWARE carries them in clear, white black and green. 22 dollars.
@@TheRoadhammer379 Thanks.
You guys are amazing. I remember 30 years ago in the cascade mountains skiing. The snow level would rise,therefore it would rain. Sometimes very heavy. We always had 2ply garbage bags to throw over our jackets. Needless to say,we always stayed warm and dry using this method. Keep the great content coming you two,and God Bless 🙌
Good idea I think this should be in everyone's bugout bag for sure
Good way to keep pets warmer too
I always hear people mention the bag and possibilities for its use, but they seldom show us anything. However, you showed us step by step and even how to use a candle tin with it. Thank You, rich blessings.
10/10 acting :D
I always enjoy your videos Lonnie!
IV carried garbage ( bags ) and candles on every single backpacking trip iv been on, an the garage bags saved me from becoming soaked and saved my life in a freak weather storm about 15 years ago.
It is amazing how much stuff people have been told they need to survive.
Funny how someone will go out and buy 40 or 60 pounds of gear and complain they need more.
They need to realize there is a difference between camping and surviving.
Great video.
Definitely a winner! Thinking outside the box in times of stress can be a lifesaver.
Great use of a simple and small item.
Thanks Lonnie and Connie! I love your practical common sense that doesn’t cost an arm and leg. Good video to watch!!!!!
You certainly know your stuff.👍
Wow nice ! I like the way you make the candles portable. That's a great idea for emergencies where you don't have flashlights keep up the good work thank you for sharing
I have a very lightweight poncho that I have used in a similar to your black bag but I think your low cost idea is excellent. Good acting at the beginning, Oscar time!
Hmmmm. Now I need to figure out how to make this work for those of us that live in a desert. We’re trying to stay cool, not warm! 😉
Anything to use for shade can also cause a bit of a breeze
Great video! I always carry a couple of heavy garbage bags in my hunting pack, and another half dozen in my truck. So many uses in the field and for survival. Great job!
Looks good enough. Nothing fancy but fine. Thanks for showing us. Take care.
Valume needs turned up- alot. Gave a 👍 anyway. 😀
I always carry these in my bag , thank you my friend , as always good video, I’ll bet Miss Connie could even cook up something good over our tea lights !
I remember when you first put this video out. I immediately tried it.. loved it. Make sure you got a good wide brim hat to keep moisture out of neck/back areas, I tried it in rain and in a snow storm. Both times toasty warm. I know carry Several Heavy Duty Trash Bags in my Go Bag, 2 for me and 2 in case anyone else needs them. Take up no room really. Plus I keep extra tea candles on hand also. Again, TY for another life saving video my friend.
God Bless 🙏 you and your wife/family .
Big Jim New Hampshire USA aka BOSTON STRONG
Nice video Lonnie 😉👍,I use almost the same method . Cutting a corner ( poncho style) , then us the corner peace as a hat. Always have two garbage bags in my fishing bag 👌
I carry garbage bags with me quite often when I'm out in the woods, the very thick 50 gallon drum liners, they are very useful multipurpose tool. The right trash bags work well for a great many things, and are a very versatile item to have in a survival situation.
That is a good survival tip and I have trash bags in my backpack and they are for collecting leaves for a bed, collecting material to make a fire with, and to use as a bed to sleep on. I don't have candles in my pack, but do have everything else in there to survive when away from home camping or if my vehicle breaks down on the road. Thanks for sharing this tip with us all, Lonnie and I wish you and Connie all the best.
Cool good ideas!! The garbage bags and the candles 👍thanks for the tips!!
Simple and straight forward.
Great advice, Lonnie! Setting up in the right spot in the right way is most of the battle ... microclimates are as old as Creation :) Squirrels have dry leaf nests ... woodchucks use the earth to insulate in their burrows. Appreciate your giving the discussion a visual aide! The tin with the tea candles is a super idea :) Thanks to you and Connie for these great video lessons ... God Bless and stay safe
I have seen something along this line about a month ago. I can appreciate the fact you mentioned safety and how it is up to us. I know this is to survive. Some of us may need to improvise to suit our own physical abilities or limitations. Always a great lesson. Thank you and take cate to you both.
Being prepared is important.
Hi Lonnie
Thank you so much for all videos.
You are the best.
I'm looking all your videos !
Thanks
Good idea you will be wiser in the morning
I really love your videos and everything you and Connie do. Ty so much and great video.
I’ve seen this done with a poncho. Like the altoid tin idea. 👍
Know about the altoid tin from growing up in CO...my mom taught us all to keep a survival kit with the tin..a metal cup...to boil band melt snow...garbage bag...short(ish) rope and granola bars we made for hiking...all kept in a metal coffee container ...the coffee container was to be used like a hobo stove
I have an Emergency Poncho lined with Mylar. Works great! A single tealight candle generates enough additional heat since the Mylar is so reflective. Before I got the Emergency poncho, I carried the trash bag as you recommend.
Some very good survival tips! Never thought about the way the lower areas will have the cold air.
Thanks for another great video! I think a UCO lantern would be a great alternative to the tea candles. They heat up quite a bit and will keep the flame contained. I always carry a large garbage bag backpacking or even day hiking, larger the better. It's just incredibly useful from having a dry bag to making shelter's or poncho's etc.
Glad to see a vid from the far north!
Candles in the Altoids cans. Thumbs up sir. Great video. Another line added to my thoughts for future. Will be sharing this.
😎Gotta love the garbage bags! I love them! That was so interesting and intelligent. Love it!
The funny thing is, I suspect anyone smart enough to be THIS prepared will most likely never need it! But hey, stuff happens!
Not sure 'smart' is the word I'd use, savvy is more apt. Yes? Perhaps that's just colloquial use though.
Don't fart or you'll explode! ;)
@@deathshaker0026 instant 'shrink-wrap'.
Better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it!!!
@@deathshaker0026 Don't fart and you WILL explode. See thumbnail, you're not going to want to hold that in.
I almost always have at least one of those large bags with me. I guess that stems from only ever having orange polythene survival bags for the Welsh mountain weather when I was younger :) Even though I also have ponchos, the additional options of the bags can make quite a difference.When I've used candles for heat, I usually put them in my metal (steel in one set, titanium in the new shiny set :) ) cup and if I need it up off the ground, I use my lightweight esbit stove to prevent it burning.
That is an awesome idea, and anyone can do it!
Brilliant video again, thanks from London England 👍💪😎🏴🇬🇧
Always good to see you Lonnie. I've had some bad luck with those tea light candles. At cold temperatures, the bulk of the wax didn't melt into the wick, and the flame just drilled a hole straight to the bottom and went out. I guess if you've got good quality ones, all good. I like your variation on the idea.
Heavy duty trash bags are always good to have in your kit. What I carry is kind of morbid, but the plastic liners for body bags are excellent!
Pray tell does someone get body bag liners? Pardon me, my southern is showing. Let me translate...
Where would someone acquire those bodybag liners? 😁🤭🤔
I do not think Walmart sells it where I shop.
I carry those heavy duty bags as well, and this is a great application for them. I would only do as he did in an e man urgency situation though, as I'd prefer to build a shelter. I really appreciate these videos though--very awesome to see someone thinking outside the box. Please keep it up, you're amazing mate!
@@janicelangle3891 😂
Great video. I always carry carbage bags with me, I use them as dry bags. Good to know you can also use them as an emergency shelter.
I've learned so much from your videos. Thanks and God bless.
