So 3 people huddling for warmth instead of 2. That’s a better situation than before, and if you have a space blanket, even better. It’s still 3 people instead of 2, so better overall situation for everyone.
Sometimes it’s the last percent that means survival just so you are aware.
Until all 3 of you die because you accidentally started an uncontrolled fire while you’re already in an emergency.
2 people and 2 space blankets have just as good odds as surviving the cold than 2 people and some candles. Without needing to worry about fire.
A candle is going to heat up the area around it and dissipate that heat. The blanket will simply keep that 350 btu that you produce every hour much closer to your body, and stop you from freezing to death.
Blankets are highly underrated. Gloves are good too. Reusable, zero carbon emissions after you get them home other than the occasional wash. No carbon or unburned wax buildup on the walls or ceiling. Blankets don’t steal oxygen or create a cold draft by sucking up air from under the door. Sweaters are good too.
We just established that more heat is better and now you want to say making the fire larger is bad…?
Come on it’s a tea candle stomp it out with your foot of the flame falls over… wait it can’t fall over since it’s height is 1/3 it’s width…. You would literally have to throw it for it to fall over lmfao.
Lmfao, I understand it’s fine, that’s why I know that heating up a pot with candles can be a useful source of heat. Your the moron since you’re arguing otherwise and your only argument is it’s “unsafe” you haven’t even used thermodynamics to make your point lmfao…. More heat is better than less I’m sorry your head is so far up your ass you can’t comprehend this.
You don’t need the bricks, and if you drop the pot on the candles it will snuff them… you say balanced on… I don’t think you understand the definition of that word. The candles are on a stable base. Knock the pot over and it snuffs the candles since it’s would cover them completely and is not flammable. Come one think Thai through just a little more and you would realize your scenario isn’t plausible here. Different candles and a flammable pot, yeah you have a little credibility to your point, but not much.
Why are both of you sleeping in an emergency…? One of you should be awake at all times to flag someone. You can’t ignore stuff you should already be doing because it makes your asinine scenario plausible lmfao.
They… you know they keep posting that you can heat a room, doing this… a tea candle doesn’t put out that kinda heat…. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Isn’t it just so the heat stays in a smaller area? Radiant heat acts differently as well.
Doesn’t matter. A candle puts out about 80 btu. 4 candles is about 320 btu.
For comparison, an average human puts out 350 btu by just existing.
So this will warm up a room about as much as having another person sit in there with you.
You also now have the added risk of having a bunch of open flames balanced on pots in your room.
Don’t do this, buy a space blanket for 5 dollars and keep it in in your nightstand if you’re that worried about freezing to death in your home.
So 3 people huddling for warmth instead of 2. That’s a better situation than before, and if you have a space blanket, even better. It’s still 3 people instead of 2, so better overall situation for everyone.

We get it, you’re functionally illiterate. Go back to grade 1 school.
They way I’ve heard this explained is it isn’t going to keep you comfortable but it might help keep you from freezing to death in an emergency
Oh, I thought they were using the candles to emulate sunlight and were going to grow a plant upside-down…
If you wanna grow upside down plants just use a mirror duh.
No. Who is they and where are they posting it? I’ve never seen this before.
