I appreciate this i was thinking about it as somthing i havent done. I saw some video of a guy who said a survival tricks is to take candle and put it under a blanket. So I tried it it works to whatever degree it does but my feet wear still cold my and face and higher part of my body were definitely warmer . So my honest review of that is your feet are still potential issues. Im also on this because the idea to heat a tnt with candles came to mind. Other gold idea is black tarsh bags . So wear them as water proof clothes and it lso makes you warmer.
better to cook with actually if you have to stealth camp. no smoke and you can cook inside the tent. i do quinoa and canned beans. tea. fried bread. simple easily heated things.
how about putting a heat diffuser on top of the lantern to block the heat from scorching the roof or sides of your tent? I suggest using Sterno instead of candles. They burn cleaner.
I didnt try hanging it. Honestly, I thought about it but I didnt like the idea of hot wax dangling over me. Maybe in our family tent is the lantern was in the middle and not hanging over anyone. You might be able to attach it to a wire or rope and let it hang down a bit in a bigger tent.
@@WeLiveALot change the tarp Get one made of an emergency blanket as those return 99 percent of all thermal heat. Get an extra large one to stake it to the ground. Use weed barrier staples to nail it to the ground Fire proof the use of it by digging a hole in the ground, with a trench extending beyond the tent. It will suck fresh air in and heat it. You can put a ceramic bowl on top if just using for heat and not light.
@@diversitylove5460 Carbon monoxide is a byproduct of anything that burns. Always vent an enclosed space when heating with any flame. The most efficient venting is high up on the structure. Cool, clean, oxygenated air will be drawn in from a door if the zipper is left partially open on the bottom. The tarp needs to be vented at the top, or all the ventilation in the tent is rendered useless.
Fire doesn't belong in a tent. If you really want to heat your tent, set the fire outside the tent, and heat only the outside of the flu pipe. Let the hot air rise inside the flu pipe into your tent, then you wont have to worry about setting your tent on fire or noxious gases. To keep the fire outside from getting out of control set it in a Dakota fire pit and use a slow burning fuel like alcohol, Sterno or use a propane stove.

You can get heated jackets, socks ,gloves and even underwear that run off a usb battery bank that will last for 10 hours or more.

You made it all real. From Montana.
What is the temp outside the tent? How can we assess how much the candle can heat up the tent if we don't know the temp outside the tent?
The temp outside was the same as or very close to the temperature at the beginning inside the tent.
Great video! Do you have a link to the fan? Can you use any small fan?

That's a great call out. I don't stealth camp but the no smoke is a great point, especially for stealth camping!
You need a temperature reading outside. It's the delta that matters.
Subscribed brother! Ur videos are awesome 👌 👏 😎
Ricky, thank you so much. It means a lot to me, I really appreciate it!
Nice video, traping heat is the answer but go all the way and get another one
Maybe I will!!
Put the lantern IN the pail? For safety and could direct heat
That's not a bad idea. A metal pale might even radiate the heat a bit. Might have to try it.
Just carful the bottom of pail doesn’t burn tent floor
Cool video! Well done. Never tried that before. Crow✌️
Thanks Crow! Love my candle lantern!
tarp over your tent,lights inside your tent,Haha

Interesting, I'll look into that. Thanks for the suggestion!
Can you hang it? Or will it get to hot?

Carbon monoxide. Just saying.
Yep. Always have a CO detector just in case. Mines never gone off.
Carbon monoxide is not a concern with candles

nonsense. Hot tenting is commonplace and very safe if reasonable caution is used.
@@BuellStreetBlaster like I said. You should try reading comments before relying to them
@@williampennjr.4448 I did read your comment. My point stands. A woodstove can absolutely safely be used inside a tent.
@@BuellStreetBlaster only if the tent is very large and ventilated.
