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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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 RUclips world, haha.
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
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...
traditional candles are beeswax candles... BUT the modern candle actually burns cleaner than beeswax, it's made of hydrocarbons and turns into little else than water vapor and c02. That residue is from your wick/colored candle
@@escapetherace1943 oh i was wondering about that cause there isn't that many waxes that I am aware of. i don't think that the modern paraffin is a better wax either. Paraffin wax is commonly used to make candles and wax melts because it is generally cheaper to produce than soy wax and beeswax. Paraffin wax is distilled from petroleum, a by-product of gasoline production. Burning paraffin wax candles releases dangerous chemicals. Since paraffin wax is derived from petroleum, coal, or shale oil, it has been found to contain known carcinogens (cancer-causing agents) such as benzene. Beeswax candles contain none of the harmful chemicals found in paraffin wax but is also more expensive. If you're an eco-conscious individual looking for a clean-burning candle, soy wax may be your best bet. For those seeking a naturally scented, long-burning candle, beeswax is an excellent choice. Keep in mind that the farming to produce soy wax is considered non-sustainable.
beeswax burns too cool in the cold and doesn't melt the wax well, its smaller flame that doesn't produce as much light. the citronella is too soft and runny in the heat. the original paraffin is best. oil inserts are really nice too.

Iridium242 when you first put this up I searched for it. This paycheck, I’m buying one. Thanks
Went to buy one. Damn shame they don’t ship to the U.K. was going to buy the lantern and case. ☹️

Another tip is to lightly coat your boots before you do any painting. Any paint drips that end up on your boots pops right off when dry.
Thanks!@@charlesartificer2158

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!!
Hello where do you buy yours from?

Oh yeah they are still around, I plan on doing a review of them soon!
Iridium242 Awesome, thank you!!!!
This reminded me that I have one of those little UCO candle lanterns somewhere.
I need to dig it out.
I get some from a buddy who is a beekeeper. They work really well
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.
thanks for the video on beeswax candles never knew they were that good

I prefer them as well. Same as if you make fire starters. Beeswax has more burning power. Thank you for the video.
I love beeswax candles!! Just nice to see others enjoy them as much as I do!

Love the lantern, I make beeswax candles myself, never thought of them as somthing for prepers
Thank you!
Funny thing people don't realize those candles are edible funny to think a candle as a food source. I go and buy raw honey comb and love it.
Beeswax is the bees knees. Great video!
The ol' traveling flame trick.
Thanks for sharing, nice looking lantern.
wade garrett is where you can get it, along with a nice leather holder.
beeswax also makes a good ingredient for firestarters
I'm also making my own chapstick 😉😉, mixing it with coconut oil! Burt's bees 😝.... soooo much cheaper to make your own 😂
Oh when you get that done, let me know the recipe for that, we could use that
@@Iridium242 Definitely will do!! I'm playing around with different amts now....let you know when it's perfected 😉😊
Can bears smell them..
Thank goodness
Excellent Review And Information.
Thank you for this good information.
I remember the candle lanterns from the 1960's.
You should get a UCO lantern
Good information. Thanks!
Thanks 😊
Thanks for sharing!
Congrats on 30K
thanks, its still amazing to me :)
failing that you can also EAT them with no harmful effects
traditional candles are beeswax candles...

what do you mean by modern candles?
