Prepper Tip: Why I Prefer BeesWax Candles

[walkerone]

I had heard that using bees wax on leather boots was a good idea over the usual sprays. I tried it and absolutely love it. Comes in small jars at Walmart. Goes a long way and you can work it into the seams/threads. Applies easily, no smell and water ROLLS OFF faster than you can imagine! I will never use the spray silicone on boots again. Great vid to get the word out on this great product.

Very helpful video. I just finished making 70 candles with my father-in-law’s beeswax from his hives. I have learned a lot. Your video taught me a new lantern I’ve never seen before. How easy & convenient to use if I need lighting. Thank you 😊

Because of the honey aspect, beeswax has a medicinal property as well. Just rub the wax on your small cut, rash, burn or whatever the problem is to help with the healing process!

Thank you for this video. You have reinforced what I have always believed about beeswax candles: They are better.
Should you choose to use candles as a way to warm your one- or two-person tent (It can be done, if your tent is not too porous.), remember that beeswax bears more energy than propane, pound-for-pound.

I get some from a buddy who is a beekeeper. They work really well

I just about skipped over this video but I got a glimpse of your Stonebridge lantern in the thumbnail.
I have an original only in galvanized. I take it on most camping trips but would love to have a reproduction one as well.
Great informative video. Thanks for sharing. God bless

I never would have thought about using Beewax when it comes to candles. The last time I used a candle was when the power went out when we were kids, long before LED's came out. All my emergency lighting now is LED. I do have some some brand name emergency candles for a last ditch effort if the power goes out for too long and all my LED's die. I'm only talking about for in home though. That was a great video. Thanks for showing us.

This reminded me that I have one of those little UCO candle lanterns somewhere.
I need to dig it out.

I love beeswax candles!! Just nice to see others enjoy them as much as I do!

[craigbetts]

thanks for the video on beeswax candles never knew they were that good

[meganlynn]

This was very informative, thank you!!

I love that foldable lantern it’s really neat! And the beeswax candle made me think of my aunt Phyllis, and that she gave me a couple of these candles 18 years ago and I still have them but never burned them.

They’re edible, if need be, and medicinal. They also look more traditional. I have the 8 hr white/clear ones I use in an REI candle lantern. Love the one you have. Cool product. Thx for sharing

[brandyweems]

I use beeswax candles, they don't bother my asthma, others make me cough, really bad....but, I didn't know all this other stuff!!

[KASAGIofficial]

Love the lantern, I make beeswax candles myself, never thought of them as somthing for prepers

[Pygar]

I bought an *old* original Stonebridge lantern off eBay, and love it! Modern candles don't fit it well. Whenever it gets too waxy, I invert it over an alcohol stove...
LEDs may or may not work after an EMP event, but I bet my 2.65 oz. 26-hour "Yahrzeit" candles by Yehuda will. I wrap the glass in clear packing tape, just in case... My test shows 26 hours is no joke, and they are still small...

This reminds me of the UCO Original Lantern, it’s been around since 1981. I have this in my B.O.B and I love it a lot. Any, old school preppers probably have heard of this lantern before. Iridium242, can you do a review of this and I’m guessing you’ve heard of this since your not new to prepping unlike 97% of YouTube world, haha.

[shovelhead]

I prefer them as well. Same as if you make fire starters. Beeswax has more burning power. Thank you for the video.

Thanks for sharing, nice looking lantern.
