candle

[davidg]

Any one know where I can get hold of a safe candle holder, bush tec used to do them I think. Lights/torchs give out to much harsh light so looking to use candle light to give low bivy illumination during those long nights

i just melt a bit of wax onto the metal bivvy table and stick it on bobs ya uncle, a secure candle

or if your like Nige you have about 34 tealight candles and set a scene out of a spooky miovie with kids doing a weejee (spelling ?/?/) board !! lol my spelling is awful hahaha

dont quite understand why people need a light on all night...........my mate uses one and i reckon its why hes blanking so much during night times.........mind you this winter hes not alone on that score

Ive got a Bushtec candle lamp absolutely brilliant for the money, does not shine to brightly just about gives off enough light for you to see things in your bivvy. Used in conjuction with a bivvy magnet! Gives off some heat too on those chilly nights!

Thanks all. As Phil says Ialso am not one for a bright light on overnight but have been told that candles will give loww background light in bivi only and not pollute outside. Don't like idea ofnaked flame, knowing my luck will go up in flames. Will try and get a bushtec or one of the UCO mini's as suggested by Bet

David with a bushtec when it gets knocked over or basically knocked it puts itself out thats the idea of them mate so don't worry about frying to death!

I always light a few tealights on a cold night placed on bait buckets, give a faint light but also give out a bit of heat to take the chill off.

Make sure they are out before retiring to the bag though.
