i watch some survival clips when doom scrolling... they always melt tealight candle wax to encase and water proof stuff.... like water proof string to act as fuse...

e.g.

Actually you light it up at night and place it far away from your shell scape.

If anyone shoot at it, you know there is sniper.

is just a fire source

fire source is always useful outdoors

but implementation is extremely outdated, like ww2 to vietnam war era

nowadays it's too small to be of use and can be dangerous due to thermal optics and drones, plus got power banks. if you're on watch it's strictly no lights no heat





i never understood why we have to procure our own stuff, when it should be the military that provides and push down logistics

 

[cplbao]

Else how we transit the song into purple light?

Candles are an important part of a survival kit.

Unlike matches or a lighter, candles can provide a source of light (useful when batteries in a flashlight are drained) and flame for extended periods (useful and reliable replacement for kindling).

They say is to light inside boots to make it dry faster when it gets wet.

After almost 15 years I still havent seen a single person doing that...

I've done before really dry but need to be careful

Hopefully the SAF has an emergency stash of vape from the stockpile NEA confiscated.

Then smokers can switch to vaping in war to reduce risk of you die i die everybody die.

Everything you also want to wait for CQ to issue the day before and during ops? As it is, the combat train has to carry 40 jerry cans of water, 48 hrs of combat ration, all heavy items for defense (tripods, con wires, pickets etc), ammos. And oh yes all your full packs when you are on attack.

If you have your way, need to add another tonner for company convenience stores (to issue pens, candles, tissue paper, range cards, sticks, rope, snacks, soft drinks etc and all the conveniences for YOU).

And resupply usually is to be completed fast like 15-30mins. But with your smart idea, resupply will take 2hrs.

And unlike what you think, the CQ is the busiest person the day before moving out. Must prepare all the items for combat train, go for company meetings and S4 dept meetings. coordinate with cookhouse, coordinate with MT line, coordinate with Medical center for status of report sick everyday during exercise, confirm with all depts for rations of attached personnel, T loan equipments like signal sets, binos from HQ/Support coys and if necessary from other units, chase the platoon sergeants to load their platoon stores. Every faulty equipment issued to you last min say need to exchange also must source for you immediately you know? Ask you make sure you got your own candle very difficult ah?

 

[Nuclear Boy]

For drying the insides of wet boots. But no one ever taught me that while I was serving, nor did I see anyone doing that ever.

 

[DulanMax]

Can go-ed emart do 1 for 1 exchange?
