[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2633198, member: 118816"] To be honest never used this one, but was a survival instructor in the Army. When doing winter training we would use candles to provide heat in the snow cave shelters we would dig for overnight camping out in the cold. A ground cover underneath of the sleeping bag, backpack to plug the opening to the outside and a candle to take the chill off the air without melting the snow. Another thing is that supposedly no matter how cold it is outside the temp in a snow cave is supposed to be around 32 degrees F to begin with. Never took a thermometer to check that theory out but it was always a lot warmer in the cave than outside. The one thing that I didn't particularly like about using the candle was the exposed flame. These little candle lanterns would have added a lot of safety to burning a candle in a snow cave. Check out this video.
