Sometimes you need an alternative to the traditional campfire. No campfire pit? No problem. We show you how to create a survival candle out of recycled material. Use it when you want a campfire but also want to leave no trace. We take one of these candles on every trip. Burn time is approximately two hours. Filmed in the wilderness near Sixth Depot Lake, Ontario. Please rate this video. Thanks!

  • What can you use this for? Heating? and could you use it for cooking?

  • @trevor6744 We use it when we can't have a campfire. Our camp site is just a spot in the woods where we stop for the night. No fire pit and nobody has the energy to cut wood, then this is perfect. Give you a few hours to sit, chat about the day and relax before hitting the hammock. It gives off great light and yes you can us it to boil water. You certainly would not cook a hot dog directly over the flame. It produces a lot of soot.

  • Spruce resin works great too, and it is ready to use in the forest.

  • @NorthSurvival Spruce resin survival (buddy burner) candle. That would be something to try.
