    I have fished and hunted my entire life. I also worked for frito lay for a, lot of yrs and I ALWAYS kept a zip lock bag full of frito, frito scoops work the best, in my tackle box and behind my pickup seat. The older they get the better. You can use fritos to start a fire, they light easy and burn long. The oil in them is the key.

    For the oil lamp, I used a ceramic "tea pot" from the thrift store ($3). I used a cotton wick (from a mop head I bought from DollarTree) and put that down the spout. You light the exposed end and fill it though the lid, just like the ancient lamps!

    What I would like you to test out is a regular tea candle vs a tea candle made of vegetable shortening in a side by side contest. It’s proof of concept that a vegetable shortening candle will outperform any regular candle hands down. I’ve heard it said that a regular tea type candle will burn maybe two or three hours tops. It would blow most people’s minds that a vegetable shortening version would burn many many hours longer. Just in a pinch you you’d have a very small dirt cheap candle that would last for hours.

    When I was a kid we made a heater we called a duck blind stove. To make the stove a can of any size can be used, coffee cans and paint cans are best for blind stoves. To make, tightly roll some corrugated cardboard to fit into the can. Then melt paraffin wax and pour it into the can with the rolled up cardboard inside. That's it. These things will burn for hours and can be use to cook or brew coffee. The only negative thing is that the paraffin gives off a black greasy smoke, although not horribly but it does blackens pots and pans, so is best used outside. Paint cans with bail handles are really the best and the lids fit nice and tight for transport. I imagine veggie oils and alcohols could be uses as will as paraffin.

    • @gregswank547
      @gregswank547 9 місяців тому

      Just like the toilet paper doesn't burn until the alcohol is gone, the cardboard is just a reservoir for the paraffin which produces the flame, a candle if you will. Eventually the cardboard will function as a wick burning down as the paraffin is used up. I hope that helps. We called them a duck blind stoves but there is no way it could keep the blind warn but it did brew the coffee and keep it warm.@@warrior7787

    Great little video for preppers on repurposing common materials and spending minimal coin to get it all up and running. Many dollar stores carry 100% cotton indoor clothesline cord which I've used for wicks in different projects. It makes a great waxed fire extender for lighting campfires. I wrap them in a piece of rolled up aluminum can where I can just pull the cord inside the tube to extinguish. Another good wick is the dollar store 100% cotton white mop. Just cut what you need and you're off to the races.

    My DT sometimes has gas line anti-freeze, which is just methyl alcohol and burns well. I add a tiny pinch of salt to it and it turns the flame orange so I can see it better. You can't cook directly over the open flame (no toasted marshmallows) but you can cook in a pot with it. I also made a very stinky sardine can lamp once, just using the oil the fish came packed in. I've seen baby oil used to make lamps, but I've never tried it myself.

    For the heating check out online, sand batteries. It may help extend your fuel, in a power outage. Once the sand is heated up, the heat sores can be taken out at night to reduce the risk of carbon monoxide, or unwanted fires. Cores the ninth a sand battery will work depending on the size.

    I have used the tall candles in power outages. They last a l9ng time and if you need to carry them room to room. Put them in a mug. Makes it much easier.

    Legit demo. Also, for people with kerosene lamps, but expensive kerosene: the new #2 Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel we seem to have nowadays burns just fine in old kerosene lamps. I have burned 10+ gallons, worked great. The stink is there, but low. #1 Diesel is supposed to be better, but we never get it around here, so I don't know.

    I recommend getting as high octane/percentage as possible. Flame is hotter, burns longer and gives off less 5oxic fumes as the 70%. Anything less than 70% wont burn.

    • @ChefPrepper
      @ChefPrepper  9 місяців тому +3

      The 91% is better. There is a 99% but I think you have to order it online.

    On the glass canning jar if you don't have a canning jar lid to cut the opening in for the wick,you can take a piece of old or new window screen cut hole in for size of wick or you can use a hand strainer,the metal mesh for a top on the jar and cut hole in it to the size of your type of wick.l had a broken plastic handle on one of my hand strainers and l cut the mesh wired strainer part out and formed it around the canning jar and put a hole in the middle of the mesh strainer for the wick.worked good.nice video on comparison fuel ideas.😊

    Loved laughing at mom! Always keeps glass oil lamps loaded. Helene hit, she spent 2 days complaining about not having a flashlight handy. "In 70 years". When the power came back. I showed her the 4, no 6 lamps on her mantle board. I said you had light right there, 3 feet from her chair. Laughed till i cried! Pop said for pete sake what will i forget next. They are 90!

    They have these all 100 percent cotton rope strings mop attachment to a plastic pole handle you buy separately at dollar tree (There white cotton thick long strings together for washing your floors,like the olden days only had.) Use them for your candle wicks when making your candles or flame starter stoves or for light.
