I use those candles, but you can get ones that last 8 hours. But what I do is keep my used candles from the previous night. And that’s because the wax tends to stay unmelted around the rim of the used candles. I then use the heat from my new candles to melt the wax from the used ones, and then periodically and carefully pour the melted wax into my lit candles. For this I use my unhooking forceps so as not to burn my fingers! In that way I can extend the candle burn time to 12 hours. So I basically leave mine on all night in the winter. So the bivvy is always warm and has a nice bit of dull light.

I'm going to use your idea to think of making something similar 😊.

i like the tealight heater. here is what i am doing. putting a bivy sack around a camping cot. and lighting one tealight underneath the cot.

Brilliant well done and best of all no carp tax 👏👏

Made mine in five minutes great little heater.👍

I reckon that's an excellent idea - not only for fishing bivvies but also for anyone backpacking. It'll warm a tent just as well as a bivvy. So I'm going to make one. I don't go fishing so I don't have any fishing line tins but almost any tin about that size will do.

Brilliant, gonna make 1 for this weekend

Any added metal to the top would be a help, it would add mass, you could take washers and line a long bolt then cap it with a nut, band a few together and lay on top for the added mass, just an idea anyways. Good video, God bless

I watched this the other day and didn't get a chance to comment. I made a variation of it and posted the video. I mentioned you in the vdo and added a link to your channel and this vdo in the description.. basically I turned the tin over and filled it with small rocks, you could use sand or local materials so you dont need to carry it, I dont have that problem as I will use it at home or in the van. It was still radiating heat after the candles were out, it was well over an hour before i could comfortably pick up one of the small stones I used...

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC PORTABLE HEATER . THANK YOU, KIRK'OUT'PEACE

[joanlswitzer]

Great video. Thank you. Can you use a larger can perhaps a cookie tin? I would
like to use this to help warm up a small room, or bathroom if the electricity went
off. Thank you and best wishes from Canada.

Smart design, lightweight, safe solid fuel for transport, cheap, brilliant.

[STESTESTEEFC]

So I don’t make a mess of mine how did you make the holes in the tin?

FYI, beeswax candles are better than paraffin candles. Beeswax burns hotter and cleaner than paraffin.

Looks like it would be warmer than a clay pot.
