[quote:Anonymous Coward 379352:MV8yMDQ3Njg1XzM0NDA3NTAwXzkwQkQ4NEU5] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1317305:MV8yMDQ3Njg1XzM0NDA3MTQ5XzhBMDQ1MTk1] [quote:Carol B.:MV8yMDQ3Njg1XzM0NDA2OTg4X0U3MTkxOEQy] [quote:Anonymous Coward 1317305:MV8yMDQ3Njg1XzMwNTRBRDI3] Sounds easy enough. Recently we had a power outage that lasted about 17 hours, started right before dark, so we had to spend an entire evening with no power, and well, it was a good test run to see how "prepared" we are. NOT...these candles are a great idea. I am totally stalking up on this. Because my first realization in my recent power outage was in the event of long term power outages, which could come to a neighborhood near you soon enough, we did not have much light to last for very long. http://teotwawkiblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/diy-survival-candles.html [/quote] Last time our power went out we brought in two of our solar yard lights. Totally lit up the hallway and elsewhere all night! [/quote] That is great if you can afford solar. Not everyone can. This is great for those who do not have a lot of money to invest, for a quick solution for longer term. Thanks for your input ! [/quote] Little solar yard light can be had very cheap all over the place and at any hardware store. They can be bought in boxes of 4 or 6 or 8. Purchased at Walmart for under 20 bucks and also better ones foe up to 60 bucks. Last for years if you don't expose them to the harsh winters and can be set into any light to be charged. Cheap Cheap Cheap. The making candle thing is great for a long term forever type of SHTF senario after the fact. Thanks for bring the recipe here. :hf: [/quote]
