Easy DIY Emergency Candle Lantern

How to make a DIY emergency candle lantern. This simple homemade lamp is incredibly easy and quick to make... and best of all, it's free! By using a common item that you likely already have around the house, such as an empty soda can or other similar beverage container, you can create a very effective and useful lantern that will provide plenty of light for emergencies such as power outages. Or... simply just to use outdoors, whether on the ol' patio or while during your next camping trip.

Coors tall boy works well also. Very cool 👍

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Nice. I've made the soda can size to use with tea lights for various kits. (Cut can, filled with tea lights, stored in a cut down water bottle - to keep wings closed & protect can.) Never thought about using those larger tea cans & emergency candles. Like the hanger & tip to hold the candle. Thanks for sharing.

[@n8jones418]

I really like the way you filmed this. Efficient use of editing, it was very clear how to do it without being overly long. Also - good idea too! Thanks for sharing this.

[@hikewithmike4673]

great video... have made one of these before....cool stuff!

[@rizelnc]

Very innovative...great idea!

[@Tsiri09]

Thank you! This could make the difference for someone in an emergency! Because I have cats and friends of mine have kids, I'd put a piece of aluminum across the lower part of the front to prevent the candle from falling out if it melted lopsidedly or was bumped. I LOVE this video.

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks Tina... I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed the video! Great idea on the aluminum placement by the way... really appreciate you taking the time to share that :-)

[@KuntryRD]

I love how You just show how it is done! Can't beat that. Very nice project.

[@IntenseAngler]

Thank you! Really awesome to get that feedback by the way... can't tell you how much I appreciate it :)

[@KowboyUSA]

Can't recall who showed me this trick, but it was way back when beverage cans were steel and there wasn't the tall ones. These newer tall aluminum ones couldn't be more perfect for the task. Sweet!

[@outbackwack368]

As always, you come up with yet another great recycling option! Keep up the great tips, John!

[@WalkWithWallace]

Neat, could do with a few of these in Scottish bothies. :)

[@inspireAson]

Now that I know how to make this, I just need to get better at the reading part. ;) Great tip as always! :) - Chris

[@EdgewoodOutdoors]

Thanks man, I hit the bell, so look forward to getting to know your channel! Have a good one!

[@BackpackBushcraft]

What gauge of wire is that. Neat idea I tried my hand at some last December. Lighting the bottom to get it to stick was a fantastic idea. Thanks again for the tip

[@steelhuskers1794]

And I just bought the uco candle lantern lol. Something so simple but yet I just wasted $20. Great video 👍

[@IntenseAngler]

Well on the plus side ya have yourself a sweet lil' lantern there with the UCO ;) Thanks for the compliment on the video by the way... means alot!

[@betsyolsson-mackowski7682]

I have a question and a comment. Does the wite handle get hot? I like the wrist tats and jewelry that can be seen at the beginning of the video.

[@Smalltownsteading]

Cool idea!

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks my friend!

[@eltenda]

Cool pproject

[@brianspencer4220]

Hey Intense: Thanks for a completely, easy to do, great idea. I'm a believer. Brian 77

[@eltenda]

Cool project!

[@gen2-x364]

pretty cool...you might need some bandaids on hand....lol

[@IntenseAngler]

Definitely gotta be careful, that's for sure! ;)

[@Saiarts_yt]

so its been almost to be 5 years from now that I subscribed to this channel... this is what I have to say..... Intense Angler (in terminator voice with hiking outfit and pack): I am back.... Me: Welcome back John! its been a while! Wait I did not looked back into this channel for a good 3 years from now.... wha Intense Angler (in conor mcgregor acent) : What the fook!!!! I just posted the update video while back! Me: you did? (while scrolling through the uploads page) U DID!

[@timm1139]

Nice! How far from the ends of the can do I make my cuts? Or does it really matter as long as I can fit the candle inside?

[@OregonMike]

Wire from a Chinese food take out container ;-)

[@IntenseAngler]

Wicked smart brother! :-)

[@timm1139]

*rushes downstairs to retrieve last nights take-out boxes*

[@markcummings6856]

👍 👍

[@IntenseAngler]

Thanks brother... very much appreciated!

[@JSkulkingBushwack]

Knock the primer out of a 12 gauge shotgun shell and if you're lucky it will slide over that size candle. It will burn slower with less wax melting...just a thought :-)

[@IntenseAngler]

Awesome lil' trick there Tom. Thanks for taking the time to pass it along :-)

[@drumavenger83]

I like the videos better when ya talk (and sometimes ramble) lol
