P.S. Butter in a BOB?

Sorry, I should have said "Bob's Your Uncle" I wasn't thinking when I started this thread. I should have just skipped it. Maybe it should have been in the "General Rving" section. But, mostly I should have just not posted it at all. Forgive me, it's been sooooo long since I've been able to get out camping. (Or, even leave the house.) I'm getting kinda punchy.

No problem. But I see BOB and emergency and think Bug Out Bag!

Cheers!

If you are stuck in the middle of nowhere and your propane has run out, if you have a flower pot handy you could even use that butter candle to heat your entire RV... :B

Somehow, Charlie, I knew you were referring to me! :B

Thanks for the good laugh!

You guys are awesome :)

I'll never live the butter mishap down....

This is for an emergency when you don't have a candle or any other source of light. There would be no point if you had a cabinet full of candles or glow sticks.

Clicky for the You-Tube 80-hour survival candle.

Or try glowsticks like kids use at Halloween. No danger or fire with them.

I'm sure a stick of Crisco, or a can of Crisco, or any sort of cooking oil would work, too.
