I can make a normal sized fire like this by disassembling my car with a sawzall, welding the wheel wells together, making some baking soda volcanos and doing a crossword puzzle
I have a scentsy wax burner. itβs like a reusable candle, you just buy the scented wax to put in it. And 2-3 times per week I have the replace the wax, so the easiest way is to use cotton pads. I leave a little bit of the cotton bad without wax so I can light it, and ta~da, I now have a bunch of very portable easy fire starters!
Even better than melting blocks of wax, harvest wax from old candles that have burned down and wonβt burn anymore. Just melt them down in a Pyrex measuring cup and pour them in. When the thing fills up, start a new one. I used to do this and ended up with dozens of them
Can you find a plastic or metal lid (0n Amzon ? ) that fits these cans and can you teach us how to seal them to make them waterproof ?? Love your camping tips by the way .
Seems like something that has the potential to be profitable. Making the wax soaked cardboard sealed inside the can. To be opened in the event your car breaks down, as a primer for a bigger fire during camping and whatever else.
Similar to a prison stove. Take your metal dinner tray, rip of a strip of bed sheet, smear butter or margarine on it. Then, roll it up, place in your tray and light it.
You can use denatured alcohol or even olive oil as well. My backpack a lot in the forest from San Francisco to Oregon so I can record audio for birds in the forest. Just trying to keep my set up light. I could repurpose alcohol and olive oil. ππ
In Girl Guides we learned how to make stoves similar to this. We called them buddy burners. Same style of heat source, though we would add a wick to the middle. Then it was just a coffee tin turned upside down over it with some holes poked out the top of the sides. Can use the tin to extinguish it as well
so I need a stove to make my stove.Noted.
Can u use it again
welllll this is a fail if youre out camping i dont know many people carry grinders in their back pocket,
Please use beeswax instead of highly carcinogenic paraffin, especially inside.
Yeah I use a candle to start fires.
These cans use coating that contains bisphenol, correct? So, cooking with them may create toxins that a person breathes or potentially ingests?
What are you doing with the leftover wax?
Wish I knew this back when I was about 10
I feel like thereβs cheaper less wasteful alternatives to the metal like a ruler
If this is supposed to be "how to survive the wilderness", I have to say it’s redundant.
Guide on how to survive;
1. Firstly buy all the equipment and ingredients to be able to survive.
2. You’ve failed.
3. Stay home and read a book.

Question. If I need a stove, how do I heat the wax
clever !
The birds’ chirps are beautiful
In Ukraine we call this a trench candle
Ah yes, lost in the jungle and I will use my money to go buy tuna. If only they didn’t take all if my empty tuna cans at the gate
Nice bird song where are you
Imagine being so broke that you canβt afford a $10 aluminum camping pot.
Worked faster than my electric stove in the kitchen.
Only problem with these is the amount of smoke they make sucks to use inside the tent
Wax is gotta be the most versatile fuel out there
We were taught how to make these in girl scouts in the mid 70’s. We called them a buddy burner

Get ready America!! This is how we’re going to be living soon. I did not vote for a trator, felon, or sexual degenerate.
Used my wifeβs tongs for this. She was not as amused as I.

βSince inflation hitβ. Bro you poor or what?. lol
A lot of materials, and a lot of time. I hope you have both on your hike.
Why not just use ‘The Stove’?
Great now we know how the wildfires in Cali start itβs the ppl living off the grid
To extinguish it, just take everything off with those grill tongsssssβ¦β¦.dang it!
Damn, I can’t heat up my meal. I forgot to pack my angle grinder
Hobo Stove
BRILLIANT…. BTW, love the Hermit Thrush signing in the background…. reminds me of camping in northern Michigan…!
Uses stove to make stove
Do NOT use an open flame while melting flammable wax! Instead use an electric heat source and preferably a water bath to melt it more carefully

Since inflation hit lmfao thanks Prumt
Instead of wasting a whole pair of tongues, just use the rest of that coffee can
Thank You For Your Genius & Common Sense β€
I used to make these as a kid, they work great. I would melt birthday candles, it’s all I had.
The black bird sounds beautiful π
Whyyyyyyyyyyy. Does every dude on YouTube have this video.
