i watched this video and went right out to wallgreens and bought 4 jars and spread troughout my camping and hiking supplies... you rock dave!!! thank you very much!!!
does any1 know if u can eat petrolium? im not sayin im going to buy this and start digging in but i saw another vid about making some kind of gum with pine ressin, beezwax, and honey so i was wondering if this stuff dave found would work for that. thanks for any comments guys
I ran over to DG after watching this, found a container of Murrays Beeswax, 4oz for 3.00. There was only one left on the shelf. Two years later and only 1 dollar more than Dave found! Looking forward to integrating this into my kit! Thanks for the video and creative insight!
MAY BE HARD TO FIND MY FRIEND, BUT THATS OUT FUCKING STANDING.. YOU HELP OTHERS AND YOU SURELY HELPED ME OUT, I WILL FIND THAT ITEM AND STACK UP ON IT. SURLEY YOU KBOW YOUR SHIT.

YOUR KNOWLEDGE ,OF THE OUT DOOR SURVIVAL IS PRICELESS, BETTER THAN MY GLOCK 21/SF 45.CAL. THANK YOU BRO. UTUBE WORTHY.
HEY! this is where I remembered you from, lol. Have been off the net for quite a while. Just a tip, if you & Cody ever have a problem with a can with holes in it & feel the need to use a nasty snake skin to pasteurize water again, just stick twigs in the holes man. Plugs, and if they are shaped weird, that's why we made knives to whittle out shapes, lol. I know you probably just had to do that for the show, but it didn't look good dude. Good to get that off my chest.
Thank you Dave so much me and my 3 freinds are at the age of 15 and are doing marine cadets now for 3 months love it. we follow-up every video en lesson you have , even wactch dual survival everyday and thanks to your great lessons we have passed our 5 day survival test in the wild with my 3 freinds and we all passed. especialy with this canndel trick with the bees wax it help out alot with fires i just wanted to thank you Dave
I think I have you beat here... how about 15 hours from a 10-cent LED, an aluminum soda can a lump of campfire charcoal and some dirt+urine. It will potentially run non-stop for 10 years so long as you keep supplying urine every few days. There are other combinations that will achieve the same thing. I have been documenting it on my blog search for minimalintentions earth battery... can't seem to put a url here.
hey man,watch all u'r vid's and the tv show,really enjoy all of it.don't like your hippy cohort as much as you,but my wife likes the contrast between ya'll. hey i just always wonder and want to know...what is that on your necklace??? i figure it's some survival thing,but never heard u say.
You're not only teaching us practical stuff, you're also teaching us how to look at things and think things out, and I have no word to tell you how much I appreciate that.
Outstanding! I am a big fan, and I was surprise to come across your video. I am a subscriber now and look forward to watching and using your advice. Thanks!
You can get gallons of used deepfrying oil from your local burgershop for free. It burns! If you have a diesel car you can filter it an run you car on it with some minor mods and i bet you could use it for a grease lamp as well. Beeswax is a great product that has many areas where it can be used though.
Sticking our fingers in things as that's the way guys are! LOL Ell Dave you got that right! Anyway Bee's wax is awesome doesn't stink when it burns. Also it's great for waterproofing knives and keeping metals from rusting. It's a natural water proffer for clothing. We used to use it to lubricate our saws when cutting aluminum. It also helps if you rub some on a saw before cutting wood. You are lucky you found it!
this is the 2nd video ive seen of yours on youtube and thats all it took for me to subscribe. all your videos are strait to the point and very informational and educational. you are the man dave. keep it up
Hey Dave ! Want bang for your buck , go to Lowes or home depot and get a Wax ring for a toilet . Get the cheap one that is usually .99 ,It is not good as a wax ring but firestarter extraordinaire ! Guess what it's made of , beeswax and petroleum . I found out by using one I left in the garage for years . I don't know if it would be good for lip balm though !
@red8826 at the point where your going to go to the store a specifically buy something to make a lamp you are no longer in survival mode. as for the mp3 player, ya good idea you more likely to have it on you than a jar of bee's wax and you can get a spark off the battery in a survival situation to light a fire.
what is the advantage of carrying that vrs just getting a little led lite. a 2 aa cell led light should give you more hours of light for less size or weight than the beeswax. or if it is a need for firestarting why not regular parifin or tea lights? The grease lamp is a great idea if you have to try to find fuel from the land, but if your gonna pack in the fuel from civilization why not go full bore and take advantage of little solar lights, small button cell flashlights, or long burn candles.
I just carry a couple cheap tea lights for the same effect. Pack of 100 for 5 bucks, burns for hours at a time. I've started fires with those candles in really wet conditions before, too.
I remember trying to find that product. The stuff would always be sold out by the time I got there. Found out a lot of bushcraft ppl were buying it. Nice video Dave.
tuna can, any kind of oil [veggie oil, etc], small piece of wire in an acending coil type of shape, and twisted toilet paper for a wic. 1/2 tuna can of oil will burn 12 hours. try it !
Dave, I guess I'm all set in that dept since I use Murray's Original Pomade...It pretty much has the same stuff in it, and It holds my hair damn fine too. Thanks for the tip!
Dave, I guess I'm all set in that dept since I use Murray's Original Pomade...It pretty much has the same stuff in it, and It holds my hair damn fine too. Thanks for the tip!
hey dave, i saw your vid about the murray's beeswax and it inspired me to try to make a variation of it. i went out to my local walgreens and bought a few things (herbal oil, Shea butter, petroleum, and a lot of beeswax) and i made the stuff successfuly. it works better than the murray's (but for a higher price). but thanks a lot for posting this vid!
Dave, that is great! I have often thought about the old style oil lamps that did not use a wick. Additionaly i have thought about the greese laterns that the mountain men used in the early days of the USA.
Thank you for refreshing the idea and showing me a current application and source.
yeah def gonna be lookin for that stuff lol and gonna look for a rock to make the hole in tomarrow while im out lookin for stuff for my other projects
Hi Dave,,haven't found beeswax yet but made an aluminium bowl as a lamp base..it works great with cheapo furniture polish,,,Thanks for this wicked tip!!!
is this gonna take the place of ur beeswax container in ur pack or r u gonna carry both? u should be able to use it to make fly fishing string to. thanks agin dave. another great vid
hey dave i found this brand at walmarts in a metal tin. i put a lamp wick in the past and it works great. its not the beeswax one but works nice.also snoseal works well too.
I just bought 2 can's of Murray's "BLACK" , it's in a black can and has kind of a gray color to the product. What I noticed is that it contains titanium dioxide, does the stuff with the yellow label contain it also? The reason I ask is that titanium dioxide is also used in many sunblock products, as the sunblocker....
Cool! I always carry sisal rope in my fire starting kit, so that would work great for making a lamp. I bet it would heat up a shelter pretty well too.
i will be looking for this today. if Dollar General gets wind of this vid. they just might up the price. got to get some now just in case. THANKS Dave great find.
Dave....I want to thank you for giving me some good viewing and I enjoy learning from you.....A rare thing for me to get the opportunity to be the student these days........feels nice.......Keep up the great work.....
thanks for sharing, dave you should put some on your site! i went down and bu 6 cans of the exact same thing today, and they ran out... i was going to buy 12. because here at our dollar store it is 1.50. so you do the math. that is well over 5000 minutes of light.
yes beeswax and lots of honeybased products were made and used by mankind thousends of years ago. I'd put some of that beeswax on that selfsutured wound you have above your finger, I'm sure it'll help it heal.
Also wanted to mention you can use it for waterproofing things, like the stiching on your boots or anything else. I remember as a kid my dad used something similar for his workboots. Thanks again Dave.
I think you just made a kudlic! Native Inuit used something similar to heating the inside of their igloos or snow caves. Except theirs were made out of animal bone or soapstone and used seal or whale blubber for fuel but the mechanics are the same.
Dollar Tree olive oil + a wick + tin can cut down to size = a 24 + hour burning lamp like you wouldn't believe. Trust me I left one burning the afternoon of Halloween to the next day and beyond. Worked great for a jack-o-lantern
How much olive oil, how thick/long of a wick, and what size tin can? Like, An ounce of oil, a 3 inch standard glass candle wick, and a tuna can? What ratio are you using? This sounds like another experiment we'd like to try along with the beeswax deal. Thanks for sharing this.
Any sized wick is fine, i used a really thin one. As far as the amount, nothing standard and the container is the same way. You could take a coke can and cut it in half, take a wick, a waxed wick works, anchor one end of it to the bottom, fill the can half with olive oil to whatever level, as long as the wick is still exposed and light. Olive oil will burn slowly, not very hot, and it isn't very flammable so if it spills no worries about the house catching ablaze. It burns nicely and slowly.
OMG you are from dual survival!

yes beeswax and lots of honeybased products were made and used by mankind thousends of years ago. I'd put some of that beeswax on that selfsutured wound you have above your finger, I'm sure it'll help it heal.

Unbelievable Dave, always something new. Thanks!
Also wanted to mention you can use it for waterproofing things, like the stiching on your boots or anything else. I remember as a kid my dad used something similar for his workboots. Thanks again Dave.

I think you just made a kudlic! Native Inuit used something similar to heating the inside of their igloos or snow caves. Except theirs were made out of animal bone or soapstone and used seal or whale blubber for fuel but the mechanics are the same.

Dollar Tree olive oil + a wick + tin can cut down to size = a 24 + hour burning lamp like you wouldn't believe. Trust me I left one burning the afternoon of Halloween to the next day and beyond. Worked great for a jack-o-lantern

How much olive oil, how thick/long of a wick, and what size tin can? Like, An ounce of oil, a 3 inch standard glass candle wick, and a tuna can? What ratio are you using? This sounds like another experiment we'd like to try along with the beeswax deal. Thanks for sharing this.

Any sized wick is fine, i used a really thin one. As far as the amount, nothing standard and the container is the same way. You could take a coke can and cut it in half, take a wick, a waxed wick works, anchor one end of it to the bottom, fill the can half with olive oil to whatever level, as long as the wick is still exposed and light. Olive oil will burn slowly, not very hot, and it isn't very flammable so if it spills no worries about the house catching ablaze. It burns nicely and slowly.
