Creating an Emergency Oil Lamp Using… Sardines?! Now This You Must See!

Sardine Lamp

Sardines. Salty, greasy, slippery and…flammable? With a little tweaking, you can turn that grease-filled sardine can into a working oil lamp that will last for several hours. And you still get to eat the sardines! Check out how below.

While sardines may not currently be in your survival kits or backpacking supplies, you may want to include them. They provide a rich source of protein and fats, which will work together to help you keep feeling energized.

Then you can fashion yourself an oil lamp! It's great that new ideas are always being invented to turn what we commonly think of as garbage into awesome tools!

When you are out in the woods, and you have something that you want to throw in your trash bag, try to come up with a use for it. You may just surprise yourself!

    My grandfather would eat endless tons of sardines. I’ve cooked with them, but NEVER have eaten them out of the tins! They always kinda creeped me out.

    Thank you California… for choosing Bernie’s $15 hr. min. wage, proving Hillary wrong by passing right by her $12 hr. proposal, even as she is still interviewing for the job of president! Embarrassing… to have the biggest, most important state dictate your next flip flop to you during your job interview (campaign). Bernie gets things right in the beginning.

    Hillary, “progressive” for 8 months. Bernie, progressive for 50 years… Do you really know the candidates?? Seriously now… maybe why you never hear Bernie saying he “needed to evolve” with “learning moments” yuh think?? Bernie has foresight and good judgment in the beginning, when it matters. Hillary blows BEHIND the social / political winds. She then apologizes later to make it all better. She is a centrist with bad judgment. Nothing more. We expect the leader of the free world to have Bernie’s judgment and character.

    Hillary voters are political simpletons who like bright/shiny things: “first woman president…. we don’t know or care about her mistakes, or about our own lives really”. You need to start caring.

    Hillary mistakes: TPP, Iraq, Libya, Patriot act, Afghanistan, DOMA/Gay rights, Syria, Keystone pipeline, War on drugs, Carbon Tax, No Child left behind, Bank Bailouts, Campaign finance/citizens united (has pacs and superpacs now!), NAFTA (said it was a bad idea), Crime Bill (apologized for ‘superpredator’ gaffe, crack-cocaine sentencing disparity), welfare reform bill (apologized for), Banking reform (wants to make it more expensive for traditional banks to be big, shadow banking reform only), Wall street reform (has nothing here yet, a future flip flop), death penalty (still confused on this one and will come to Bernie’s stance soon), fracking (also still confused, will move to Bernie’s stance), Immigration (voted to kill the bill after backing it initially)….. regarding the TPP, she will again be for it once elected. Why? Corporations wrote and enforce the TPP terms. Corporations write her platform…. Compare. Decide. Vote.
