  • @anlm1 Yes, but the point of the candle is so that you will know if there is no oxygen. A candle can't burn without oxygen, so if the candle goes out, then you need to get out!

  • @MrSirSkillet You'll not run out of oxygen you'll die from a build up of carbon monoxide. A vent hole in the roof will release it as it's lighter than air. Leave a ski pole in the hole so you can quickly clear it in the night if you have to.

  • coolest thing ever

  • Kk pretty nice, but what happens when a curious polar bear comes into it? LOOL

  • @ashan95 If it's strong ice then no, this is for more arctic conditions you can't just make it in your backyard.

  • i wonder what will happen if the exit is block by snow that falls in and the candle went out

  • @MrSirSkillet and btw thanks for the example, i didn't think of that, but i wasn't criticizing the candle being in there, js
