Crisco Emergency Candle
The crisco brand was originally a candle company.
Crisco emergency candle. That will make at least 200 candles and if you can get 45 days worth of light for less than 10 that s pretty darned cheap. Candles are always good to have on hand in case the power goes out but if you get caught without any in your house you can make a dead simple candle with a tub of shortening and a piece of string. The great northern prepper has recently shared this quick tip when it comes to a can of crisco. With the help of a wick that can be inserted through to the bottom in the case of an emergency this simple can of shortening can be turned into a candle that burns for roughly 45 days on end booyah.
Then simply press the candlestick down into the shortening until it touches the bottom. A 48 ounce can of shortening is about 5 or less and 200 feet of wick is about 8.
