Love these vids!The last time I watched this topic I could have sworn you sat on an animal pelt. Well afterwards I found a very old very dirty one on a porch on the side of the road. Any suggestions on how to clean it and not ruin it? Its covered in road grime probably coyote. Thank you!
I stated in a holiday inn and used the heater
I did this in a pup tent in boy scouts. Snow would melt on the out side of tent. I was always warm.
Just wear synthetic clothes. They fight cold and trap heat way better than wool.
YouTube keeps unsubscribing me.
Would be interested to see the experiment showing what happens under the blanket to temps with no candle for 10min and then w the candle w 10min because its going to warm up anyway under that blanket
They drink a lot!
Great info! Could save your life. Thanks.
What kept your feet warm? I watched that thermometer and it never moved like you stated. I am a former army guy, arctic survivalist trained and we NEVER used that "survivalist trick" or taught it. Get a new line of videos. Something you actually lived, junior.
Should you put your candle in a mason jar or something so you don’t catch on fire while sleeping?
Great video!!! Thank you!
Make sure the blanket is wool, because wool doesn't burn and you can even use it to smother out a fire. Also wool will keep you warm even when wet. Love my wool socks.
Woq, very good to know..
Thanks, Dan. Maybe a glass of wine to go along with the candle light?

Did this in Germany on the firing range all the time, stayed warm.
Excellent video, good information , thank you.
Good Advice, Thanks
Great video, a clean burning candle only produces water & carbon dioxide, so with a wool blanket, it should be no issue with fumes.
I've used half a dozen tealights in a billy can inside my cotton tent in the coldest conditions. Toasty !
But when you want to warm yourself like in the video – always! dig the snow!! The ground is warmer than the snow, and the later is an insulator.
As I see you don’t know a lot about keeping warm in cold periods. Do you live in California or…?
Never dig snow to make fire. Make fire on snow! Learn how to do it. It’s simple.
why not use Aminal skin as a blanket. heavy but so much warmer then wool. also water resistent.
I remember seeing a story where the Indians would actually use a large blanket like that, turn it triangular, setting down against a tree, tying it above their head to the tree. They would dig a Dakota fire pit about where their knees would be and gather wood. End of the blanket would be staked to the ground. Probably use something like a pine tree or a cedar tree that has those soft needles underneath. When you get the fire started, set with back again the tree and cover up. The smoke travels up the blanket and goes out the top. If you're under a cedar or a pine tree, the branches will filter the smoke and pretty much make it invisible. If you got a little bit of woodpile you can actually cook your food or smoke it.
“It’s not that cold out here, only about 27 degrees”
Me: looks at thermostat that says 68
Also me: I’m going to grab a sweater
Now that was quite a blanket statement! Really like your very practical videos!
This is AWESOME, thank you! So remember to always have a candle, a lighter, a huge wool blanket, and a tarp to sit on.👍
Thanks for the tips, will come in handy next winter. Love from Florida
As a super senior, I would most likely be in my car and not out in the woods, but of course I have a wall blanket in the car and could wrap up and use the candle inside the vehicle. Thanks for this great demonstration.❤
Never having been an outdoorsman, what about predators? Aren't you a sitting duck? Or is it a case of "if a predator wants you it will have you and there's very little you can do about it"?
Not a cold day he opened with… ahh I would describe it as freezing.
If you don't have wind that will blow thru that blanket it works'
I remember reading somewhere that you should always keep several candles in the glove box of your car.
The idea is, if you suddenly get caught in a blizzard and cannot move, do not use the cars heater to stay warm because you will quickly run out of fuel, and if the exhaust pipe gets clogged, you could die from carbon monoxide poisoning.
instead, burn the candles. they will raise the temperature inside the car to approx. 50 to 60 degrees and maintain it above freezing. granted that is still pretty cold, but you will make it through the night with ought using any gas.
Thats good to know…
Even without a candle, your own body heat would be saved-I wonder how much difference that candle makes over that
use a straw to breath outside air
Aware of this for 50 years now. Never had a need yet.
About 1980 I observed a group of hitchhikers next to a freeway onramp in the rain. One of them was under a clear plastic sheet with a candle.
🌷🌷🌷Not cold at all, winter -50 to -70 last 2.5 weeks here In North Pole Alaska. No I am thinking you will melt the snow and have to deal with water. 😊
Nobody can hold a candle to you! Keep up the great work!
A candle like that can really take the edge off of serious called in an Army tent…You know the old canvas ones called a shelter half? If you're given to luxury and easy, they used to make small candle lanterns you could hang off of para chord. Just say'n.
that is very cool.
Great life saving technique. Thank you. I am sharing this with all my friends who are outdoor enthusiasts
Who walks around on the woods with a tarp, blanket and candle??? But good advice, 😊
Wow, Thank you! This idea can make a heck of a difference! 👍👍
Clever stuff mate – Makes me think it would work brilliantly with a Poncho Blanket.
