“Hi, this is former Navy SEAL Cade Courtley with your 4Patriots Survival Minute. I’m going to show you two ways to make emergency candles with stuff that you have around the home.
Number one, shortening. Go ahead and pull the top off, and take a pen right through the middle all the way to the base. Then tale a small piece of rope go ahead and put that down there push that back in. Use leftovers right there in the area that’s just covering. Go ahead and trim that down so there’s maybe only about a half an inch exposed. at most. And there you have it – candle number one. I highly recommend putting this in a plate or bowl for safety sake.
Number two, take some rice pour it into a bowl, and take a crayon, put it right in the middle of that rice, pack it around it to keep it vertical and emergency candle number two.
Alright folks, so two examples of survival candles. but do not take your eyes off these things. That’s it. I’m Cade Courtley with your 4Patriots Survival Minute. Be a survivor, not a statistic.”
