Anyone carry a hardwood survival candle? I'd heard of them but never made one. Wax and hardwood saw dust mixed and packed into a can (coffee can?) to be used as a survival candle. The burning hardwood sawdust (& wax) gives off heat, something to keep you from freezing to death when you ran off the road in the winter. This could be a lifesaver on a really bad day in a Vanagon. A quick search brought me to this site; http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=009vSb I'm not even getting into the common sense stuff that goes along with fire in an enclosed space.
