My attempt at an emergency candle.

a scratch built attempt at an emergency candle/flame source



OK  this is a prototype candle/flame source I did today, I used gulf wax, wood shavings and some paper from a hole punch. I also added some fat wood as wicks and the wood chips and paper were soaked in a small amount of lighter fluid to hopefully increase or give it a better burn. I made 3 of these so tonight or tomorrow I will light them up and test them out. The container is a cat food can by the way...if this works I will make a bunch of them and also switch to a candle wick and store them for a rainy day..
