I Tested 6 Emergency Candles: The Best & Worst Revealed!

Описание: In this video, I test DIY emergency candles made from everyday items—Crisco, butter, vegetable oil, and even lamp oil—to see which fuels, wicks, and candle styles are truly reliable during a blackout or grid-down emergency.

You’ll see how different wick materials perform (t-shirt strips, mop heads, cotton balls, and lantern wicks) and which candle types burn the longest and safest: butter candles, crayon candles, pop can candles, sardine can candles, Crisco jar candles, vegetable oil & salt candles, and mason jar lantern tops. I’ll compare cost, ease of making, brightness, and burn time so you can decide which options to keep in your emergency kit.

Whether you’re building a blackout preparedness plan, stocking up for long-term power outages, or just curious about off-grid lighting, this video gives you real-world results—not just theory. Learn which DIY survival candles actually work before the lights go out!
