Sardines Oil Lamp – one minute survival tip

This time: Improvised Oil lamp, based on the Kudlik (Inuit lamp, originally with a stone base, lit by whale or seal oil. The Kudlik was used for heat, melting snow, cooking and drying clothes).

The oil (olive oil) is of course useful energy when consumed, but it can provide an emergency heat and light source in a few easy steps.
After eating your sardines, leave the oil in the can. Find some cotton wick (here it is clipped of from a T-shirt) and soak the wick with the oil. Once the wick is fully soaked, wrap the aluminium strip (prevents the wick from burning down at once!) around the wick but leave half inch exposed. Place the wick into the remaining oil and slightly over the edge of the sardine container. Now you have a oil lamp. Light the wick and you are ready to go. A sardine lamp with just a little bit of oil will burn for many hours.
