Coghlan's 36-Hour Survival Candle, 6-Ounce

I don't see how you could beat these for emergency candles to keep in your car. They even come with a pack of matches. Yes that "maximum" burn time listed would just be for one single candle lit, but IF you need these to keep your car a bit warmer to survive inside while waiting to be rescued on a snowy night, I doubt you will be burning just one, you'll have all three lit. So my advice is to get two of these, or even three. Then you can have peace of mind and not have to "ration" the lone candle use. In a bad situation these could save your life so well worth the price, and the tins will keep them safely stowed away.

Does well

I bought a few of these during last hurricane season. Just came online now to restock for this year. These work GREAT! They burn quietly and barely has an order. Three wicks makes for a very bright candle and they last a couple of hours.Also, because of the 3 wicks, this guy gives off alot of heat. I also boiled a cup of water for some soup within 10-12 minutes (rolling boil). These aren't tiny by they are compact. I like to stack about 15 of those in the closet just in case. Knock out two tasks with one purchase. Great for lighting and great for cooking small meals.

Excellent emergency equipment. The three wicks give you flexibility to burn one wick for minimal light and heat that they claim will last 36 hours, or up to three wicks for corresponding more heat and light and would last 12 hours, or any combination in between depending on your need. That versatility and length would be very useful in a blackout, car stranding, camping, etc. I don't think it is any special wax, just a normal candle wax in a designed three wick case.The instructions say that if you are burning one wick you should switch wicks every 3 hours, probably so that the wax will melt more evenly and prevent big differences in wax height which would mess up burning the other wicks.It is an oderless wax candle in a round aluminum tin (4.0" around, 1 5/16" tall). Mine weighed 7.3 oz although the label said it was net weight 6 oz. The container is a good tin and very water resistant, but could leak some with submersion.I rated it only four stars because mine came without the promised matches. Once I could get hold of a standard book of matches, it fit easily inbetween the wicks and the closed lid. Great idea to put matches in there as one less worry in an emergency.

Great item to add to any emergency bag

I decided to put together an emergency kit, and got three of these: one for the house, one for my Go Bag and one for the car. Each candle is supplied in a metal can with a tight fitting lid, and there are three wicks. One wick = 12 hrs (hence the 36 hour candle). Also, each candle has a pack of matches tucked inside. Good grab and go. I

The package came destroyed and the matches are missing. It looks like a decent enough product, just not Christmas gift worthy!

Provides good light and decent heat. I have been sitting in my truck with all 3 wicks lit and it had done a decent job of keeping it bearable inside. It is currently 9 degrees outside. I use this candle to warm my hands when I first get in the truck and its below zero out. The lid is useful in storing it and the metal tin will be reusable down the road. The candle has a small odor while burning but nothing overpowering. I will be buying more for my outdoor pack and other vehicles.

Good

Haven't test it yet but product looks good. And I like the fact that it's in a solid metal case. Great for bug out or bug in. When you open it there is also a pack of matches !

Best Product, important when there will be no electric in the world, hope one I have more than 2 things

I bought a few of these for emergency lights. I like that they come with everything and matches are sealed in a reusable ziplock bag.
