It was minus 50 here couple of weeks ago and I was looking for more heat in the cabin. I will make some of these for stand by. Thanks 🙏 Alberta 🇨🇦 Canada
@@flowerwhisperer9409I have no idea how you living like cold weather I live in the Deep South and I get cold so easy I have a lot of admiration for you I'm Yours
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.
Let me tell, I'm a girly girl...but was raised by my grandparents as a prepper. Just went almost 2 weeks no electricity (hurricanes) and used all of these and was perfectly fine. Good job! 👍
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!
Does the Tea Pot (its self) get hot to the touch? I have a small Japanese style Cast Iron Tea Pot that might be perfectly suited for that if the pot itself doesn't get too hot to the touch. Sounds like a great idea! Thanks.
Thank you so much for the simple practical tips for prepping and survival. Your advice is very practical and and inexpensive and doable for myself as a senior woman The other person said yes you show us how to do it not just talk about it And yes, your voice is very soothing and calming ….many other peppers, a lot of fear and anxiety And they are also promoting things that cost huge amount of money Personally, I am going to try to watch a lot of your videos. Thank you so much again.
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.
@@devorahstevens6194 People still think that stuff actually works. It was invented for Emergency purposes only, then marketed to the general public just for the money. I threw some away that the kids left, now I wish I would have put it in the camping equipment for fire starter.
Your voice is very soothing like Bob Ross 😂 happy little sardine cans 😂 I really enjoy your videos! I have started putting together a box just for these things in case of emergency. Thank you for the tutorials! ❤ a couple years back, we had a power outage for about six days… if I would have thought of these things, it would have made my life a lot easier!
I had to turn my indoor heat down to about 50 degrees F last years to save money and have been using tea candles to provide the heat for raising my dough when baking (daily). And just so you know, Ace Hardware has 50 and 100 foot lengths of 100% cotton rope that is ideal for wicks.
I added 91% to powdered LIME in a tomatoe paste can...stired into a thick paste...2 tbl spoons powder...1 1/2 caps alcohol....fried burgers... 🔥 lasted 15 min's. Tks pal !
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.
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.
The short stocky candle burns about 42-48 hours and the tall one about three days straight. Keep them in the fridge before burning, they last a little longer. 😊I think those tea candles burn between 3-4 hours. Hope this helps someone. Great video by the way. I'm passing it on.
Just found your Channel I love this kind of information I live off grid I'm 67 years old and it's good to know information about this where you can get things that are reasonable price thank you for all your good information Marie from Tennessee
I always appreciate, enjoy and learn so much from your videos. I wish preppers would get away from being independent "journalists" and actually teach people more about prepping like you are.
I haven't used dollar store as a resource specifically, but I did get by with emergency candles from the grocery store kitchen section for light, cooking & bathroom heat during an extended freeze-induced power outage in the Deep South once. Thanks for sharing other ideas. It's always good to have plans a-z, as much as possible.
This came up in my recommendations and im glad i clicked on it! Ver inexpensive ways to cook heat and light up in an emergency!! Thanks for sharing this with us!!!
So glad you have these videos, I have learned a lot! The more knowledge you have in your prepping arsenal the better. Dollar Tree is the bomb for cheap prepping things. Thank you for your time and effort to show us these things. I feel we are going to need the knowledge in the not so distant future. God Bless!❤
i have 2 of the single sterno stoves you show here. a couple years ago i made a grate plate for the bottom. that sits where the can of fuel sits. this allows me to put 6 to 9 charcoal briquets on the grate for grilling. i have also added a 2nd grill grate on the top that has smaller spacing between the bars so my food dosen't fall into the fire. it lets me cook a burger or a couple of hot dogs at one time. i get about 1 hour cooking time from this setup. as i am cooking for one. so far i have used briquets & wood in this way. the wood was cut down to 1/2 x 1/2 inch x 4 to 5 inch pieces that fit. twigs are good.
I have a hibachi grill on my porch. It sits on a brick plate form and surrounded with bick. Love it for cozy fires and small cooking. I always have close to a cord of wood but love collecting small branches/twigs to burn. I keep charcoal and also have a big propane grill. Options 🤣
@@lisalee2885 my first grill was a split grate hibachi. used it all the time till it rusted away. when i went looking for the next one all i found where single grate ones. options yes. i was watching blackie thomas's latest on altiod tins, he gets around to stove sizes near the end. house power outage stove options range from a 2 burner propane full camp stove down too the extra small solid fuel water boilers. options.
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.
They also carry in the automotive section in our area. . Generic Heet in the yellow bottle. . Which can be used in a buddy burner. .tgey have the red bottle as well but not for indoors
Your good My Daddy did the Same. He Had 12 kids with 2 sets of twins 😂😂😂. Momma and Daddy was good for each other. I'm miss them. I subscribed. Thank you for that past reminder 🙏
Ive never seen crisco well or whatever odd brand that was, wish i did, neat ideas though, i made some wicks out of that same cotton material, works fine, probably made smaller or should i say thinner wicks, its all good
Here's my favorites for cooking : __ ( Besides yours ) !__ . Recycle the cans of food to create more cookware. . . Form a small 'rocket stove or a fire containment for your recommend fuels, sticks ect. . Also, the cans are great for emergency cooking . . . AND LIGHTS ( like an anchovies can 😀)
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.
My first time watching your video. My gosh, I’m amazed at all your practical and low cost ideas to keep us warm, and to provide a way to cook and have light. Thank you so very much!
Just found your channel. Like every thing about it. Great focus on the basics that needs to be practiced every day. Have a small channel myself.I was trying to tech the stuff but got very frustrated so I haven’t posted in some time. Maybe I will start again. Keep up the great work.
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 just ran across to your video.And I like the way you keep it simple for those of us who can only afford the dollar tree. Blessings to all of us.Because we're gonna start going through it pretty quick here
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.
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.😊
Oh I got all these I was hoping for something new but it's still interesting video Hand sanitizer is the best it lights quickly but Burns quickly but it's a good fire starter
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.

Congratulations, you got another subscriber. Great video.
Melt candle wax, pour it over sawdust. Stir, put in freezer for n hour. Cut into 2"/2" cubes, great fire starter n even burn for a good time
My dad used to put an aluminum pie plate (facing down) above the flashlight/candle (at a safe distance) to reflect more light.

In the sardine can oil lamp put in a pinch of salt and it won’t smoke as much…
You could set most of those inside of a single concrete block for a sturdier, safer set-up to put a pan on

The best.
When we go camping, we use the Quickflame gel to fry or boil our food.
We use the Quickflame liquid to slow cook soups and gravy.
That's a good idea for using both types of the fuel!
FYI dollar tree has cotton mop heads that the strings make ok wicks
Thank you for the info. I had not considered that.

Yeah definitely don't want to roast marshmallows over the Heet, but in container works just fine.
Never used the baby oil either.
Isopropyl and the chaffing gel are my two favorite fuel along with petroleum jelly and cotton balls for fire starting
Good choices!
Very good item recommendation

@@ChefPrepper guess u don't live in the Northland 😆
I seen the yellow and red packs of Heet at Walmart near automotive. 😊
Those tall candles burn for at least 48 hours. I’ve only had 1 that didn’t burn evenly and eventually burned itself out.

God bless and be with you. Thank you
For oil lamp sucks get a cotton mop head. I have been using these for decades and they are he best.
Interesting, would the mop strings work as a cotton wick?
You might also look at heet as a fuel source too
Love this guy! What wonderful ideas for emergencies, etc.
Just so you know there's 2 kinda of those steno fuels. One omits carbon monoxide! Red flame=bad blue flame = good!
Very good!

Hand sanitizer is the best it lights quickly but Burns quickly but it's a good fire starter
Love your show!
70% works but has lots of water in the Alcohol. Another fuel still cheap at Walmart is Heet in the Yellow bottle, not the Red.
If the vegetables oil goes rancid, can it still be used as a fuel? Also, can you just use the cheapest oil there is?
Old vegetable oil-
RUST PROOF SURVIVAL GEAR. ...
REMOVE RUST. ...
MAKE EMERGENCY FUEL (BIODIESEL) ...
LUBRICATE A CHAINSAW. ...
LUBRICATE SQUEAKY JOINTS. ...
PROTECT GARDENING TOOLS. ...
CREATE LIGHT. ...
KEEP PESTS AWAY…. And I think there’s a couple more uses, but I can’t remember. ☺️

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.)
