I thought abt using this for ice fishing except I would sit on a folding stool with the can and candle positioned under the stool. I’d don a poncho, which will drape around the stool to the ground.

This is a good idea for emergencies, or even if you just want to create a mood. It’s a physical & psychological comfort. I started making what my Mom calls ‘car candles’ about 2 decades ago, but with 1/2″ holes spaced around the top, about 1/2″ down from the lip. These holes allow you to put a small, lightweight pot on top, with water for coffee or tea or soup. All of these little instant packs can be stored in watertight bags, in a box in the trunk of your car, along with blankets and other emergency supplies. I reuse candle wax in these cans. In a pinch, cotton shoe laces, or cotton twine, make perfect wicks.

I have those items in a 2 gallon bucket IN MY VEHICLE(with alcohol soaked cotton balls, firestarter cut in squares, waterproof matches,etc)..after watching a documentary of a couple that lost their toes to frostbite in a snowstorm after leaving their car.
