VR EastCoastPrepper SHTF PREPPER SKILLS CONTEST

[TheTrueRae]

Wow! A big thank you for this information, it is great and one I will use for sure. Everyone talks about a "bug out" location. Would you please pm me and fill me in on what this is and how a person determines where to go. I am so concerned and really have no clue what we can do. Thank you so much :o) I need good advice.

[NorthEastPaPrepper]

that is just awesome. thanks for sharing this :D

[eaglehill6]

Great idea, I made one last night and it works great.. I used a can and I have several gallons of used deep fryer oil that I use for heating etc and it burns for a long time on very little oil..

[blessedcajun]

What a great idea. Thanks for sharing.

[TheCorcorangirl]

You are amazing. I love all of your videos. I have learned so much.

[millster101]

Cool tip.I am going to give this a try .

[ThirdLittlePiggy]

Awesome! And two weeks too late. I just threw out some rancid oil! GRRRRR! But, as with everything else in prepping, "Now I know!" Thanks so much. (I hope you win too)

[BexarPrepper]

@ThirdLittlePiggy Glad I could help Blessings!

[redscynder]

I am going to try this. A little older lady showed us how to make one with only a tiny short wick and a the bottom cut off a yougurt cup to poke the wick through and float on top of the water with only a thin layer of oil. It worked and burned till the oil was gone, but I like your method better, looks like it would last longer, and can be stored. Thanks for the vid.

[Xtrocki]

This might be a really dumb question, but I am totally new to prepping, so please forgive me. Where do you get wicks? Thanks.

[BexarPrepper]

@Xtrocki No question is ever dumb. You can get wicks at craft stores or sometimes at discount stores like Gibsons. You can also order them online. Blessings!

[Xtrocki]

@BexarPrepper Thanks so much! Wow, Gibsons...I haven't seen one of those since I was a very little girl. You just brought back a great childhood memory for me!

[BexarPrepper]

@Xtrocki we have one in kerrville I just love to walk around and see all the neat things. Blessings!

[kcpreps13]

i wonder how used oil would work in a regular cold blast lantern...great idea ,i would have never thought to use old oil to burn ,thanks

[Skyhawk1987Turbo]

Does SHTF mean if shit hits the fan?

[BexarPrepper]

@Skyhawk1987Turbo yes whatever that means to you. An income loss or illness could be a shtf situation to you. Blessings!

[pokeythepatriot777]

[cabbieswife1]

Ok i have a request. can you please have a tutorial on how you fanagled the hanger to hold the wick? (Yes I will be needing help with that lol) And is that a homemade wick or a store bought wick? Also, you gently shook the candle are you seriously telling me, it can get wet with the water and olive oil and still light? If so, THATS FREAKIN AWESOME!!

[BexarPrepper]

@cabbieswife1 Yes as soon as I'm over my pnemonia I will do a better video just not up to it yet. Blessings!

@tankmdg I put in about a 1/4" of oil and it burned about 4.5 hours. Blessings!

[lauriegirl2]

They used to sell little plastic wick holders and short wicks in the late 70's that would float on top of a layer of cooking oil. Haven't see them around for a while. Poor baby, listening to you wheezing like that made me want to spring into action. I am a Respiratory Therapist and have taken care of respiratory conditions in patients all of my adult life. I hope you have an inhaler to use, if not I would see the doctor soon. You have significant wheezing there. I hope you feel better soon.

[snaps81625]

@lauriegirl2 You can still buy them online, Amazon has them too, they are called floating wicks. Great item to have in storage. Make sure you save all your out of date oil. I stocked up on a great deal on cooking oil once just for most of it to go rancid, but I saved it for this very reason. God Bless!

[BexarPrepper]

@lauriegirl2 Yes got pnemonia or however you spell it LOL On the mend now. blessings!

[imasurvivornthriver]
