To get a lot more wick. Wrap it around the outside of the shell casing (not tightly) and when you slide it off it'll be like a spring. Slide it off and give it a slight twist to make it same as the inside diameter and slide it inside. If you leave a little bit of spring to the twist it will press against the sides so when you slide up extra wick it will not fall back inside and let you use 90% of the wick before replacing.
Good idea. Thanks for watching.
Less room for fuel though…
@@CorgiCorner The fuel should soak into the extra wick and you shouldn't lose too much capacity.
@@CorgiCornersame amount of wick spring or hooked I would think.
OK, that was a sweet little trick. Thanks James
Awesome and thankyou! I put my mini tin in a bigger altoids tin. This way: the lid of the bigger tin is the reflector for the mini oil lamp & it keeps the dirt out/ oil in.
Great. Thanks for watching!
James I can’t keep up! I love all these little projects. I have larger wicks with ceramic buttons to convert jars with metal lids into lamps and I use olive oil because I wound up with several bottles that expired before they were used up. Now I have a new use for the oil when I’m camping. Thanks for the idea!
Thank you for watching and glad you liked the project!
Steve, I'm curious, how were you storing the olive oil? I've had great results with the three liter cans for even 1-2 years.
Whenever I open one, I put it into 6 500ml bottles and we use it from those, in turn.
The only times that I've had any go rancid were when I left it in partial bottles for several months.
I'm in the South East of the united States but I do have a basement that doesn't get above 80F/27C even in summer.
I can dry, pickle or can a lot of what we use, but I haven't sorted out storing fats and oils just yet. I'd love to hear what you're doing that worked or didn't.
@@matthewellisor5835 I purchased it in two for one sales and had several glass bottles in the cabinet. My wife developed brain cancer and was hospitalized four times due to strokes and I stayed with her during these times. Due to that the oil reached its expiration date as indicated on the bottle since I wasn’t cooking at home. She passed away in July and this oil wasn’t used regularly due to her condition over 27 months. I’ve yet to actually proved its rancid, just going by the dates. The oldest expired just after her cancer diagnosis in April of 2019. I kept the oil for use in an other than cooking situation but the later bottles may be perfectly fine.
@@matthewellisor5835 I’m in the Southeast too, coastal Alabama.
M
9mm cases fit on a 5.56/.223 case too. For a larger lamp .45 auto fits on a .308 case. You would also need a large Altoids tin for a case/stand. And possibly a larger wick.
Indeed. Thanks for watching and for adding this information to the comments!
That is one of the neatest projects I’ve seen in a long time.
Outstanding!
👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much!
Great little lamp, I also watch Lars and find his videos and life in Russia very interesting.
Indeed. He's a very cool guy!
That looks like a good project for my 19 year old grandson to make for his grandma Incase power goes out or for camping that’s so cool
Thank you so much!
Great video! A little handy hint for drilling holes in tin, a step drill works wonders with tin like jar lids etc., etc. smooth round holes no burrs.
Indeed. However, a lot of people don't own a step drill so I often try to do things that most people can copy. Great suggestion, though, and thanks for watching!
That is pretty neat James. I'm definitely gonna have to try that one out. Yes I agree with using olive oil due to its smokeless and odorless properties. Besides it being good for in your shelter if you're in need of keeping a low profile it is less likely to give your location away
Indeed. Thank you for watching.
Great idea! You could also use a bobby pin trimmed to smaller size as tweezers in case you don't have the ones from a knife.
Indeed. Thanks for watching!
I love your research on products that you show us. Thank you,
Thank you so much, glad you like the video!
Spectacular job Brother 👍 thank you for giving the credit to LARS you are a man of good Character 👍
Thank you so much!
Great little lamp idea. Gonna try this with my nephew. Thank you so much for the clear instructions and presentation!
Glad you liked it, thanks for watching!

I find these pocket-sized kits so endearing; they're super cute!
Thanks!
That is such a smart idea. Thank you for sharing it.

Nice and useful project, perfect for lightweight kits.
Indeed. Thanks for watching!
Another great idea and project and as usual well presented.
Thank you so much!
Very cool project. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Glad you liked it!
Have a 20mm WW2 shell made in Birmingham, England. It's known as trench art in the form of a lighter. Works to this day and you've just reminded me of it in this video! 😉👍
Excellent!
That is a cool little project.
Wow I love that little trick
Thank you!
Great job James ! I'm still working on mine. Very soon , very soon.
Very good, I look forward to it!
That's a very clever and useful build. Thank you!

Fantastico! I’m excited to try this. Thanks.
Excellent. Thanks for watching!
Another awesome improvised piece of kit, well done sir
Thank you so much!
That’s a great little project that anyone can do…..ty for sharing another awesome video…
Glad you liked it and thanks for watching!
I keep an Altoids mini tin, a Swiss army knife classic, and a mini bic in my 5th pocket every day. My mini tin doesn't have a ton in it, just a few things to make life nicer if I need it (12m dental floss, some cotton, hot glue, duct tape, super glue, spf 100 sunscreen, 90% deet, antibiotic ointment, etc.).
This would be a neat little project though. I have some more tins.
Sounds like you're pretty well kitted out. Thanks for watching!
That's a lot of stuff in one of those mini tins, what is the hot glue stick for? Can't fit the gun in there
@@recoveringsoul755 you can just heat it with a flame and it'll get sticky. I'll admit, I haven't used it for anything yet. In the summer I mostly use the sunscreen and deet from the tin (and the knife and lighter of course). It's annoying if I do though because I make the little sealed straws. Still, if you're stuck in a canoe because your cousin MUST catch ALL the bass TODAY it's nice to have sunscreen even though you are bad at planning ahead....and mosquitoes suck.
Mostly the slice of hot glue just fit nicely inside the floss spool. In the winter I have a different one with a little different stuff.
@@orenmontgomery8250 ok that's interesting. Well when you gotta fish, you gotta fish. Maybe pack mosquito netting that goes over your face. Probably packs pretty small?
@@recoveringsoul755 yeah, but that takes pre-planning. The point is this is in my pocket every day, like car keys. I use the knife every day but the tin is pretty rare. It's more like the 'I'm already on the mower and don't want to run in the house' kind of thing.
I like your projects. In my military years I stoves and heaters out of C'rations cans until they started giving us MRE's. You bring back fond memories 🙂. God bless you and keep up the good work. I forgot the word make lol.
No problem. Thanks for watching!
Great idea! Thank you for this demonstration.
Thank you for watching!
Fascinating way of using throw away items and making something useful. Very clever and fun project..👍
Thank you so much!
So Thankful to have found your channel. I think We all are going to need these Hobo skills in the near future.
Thank you for watching and I'm glad that you're enjoying the channel!
I have an empty mini tin. Now I have to make something with it. Liked

Hello 👋 James, thank you for sharing another fine outdoor tip. Stay safe my Friend. 😊
You are more than welcome!
Very cool little lamp. I'm going to make one and see how it goes. I have been making these since the 80's, but out of the tiny MRE Tabasco bottles we got in our MRE's. I used 1/8" round wick and make it a little longer so when the cap is removed, the wick pops right out. I use a small piece of foil with a tiny hole in it and put it over the wick and pull a small amount of wick through the hole to regulate the flame. With a 3/4" flame, I get about 70 minutes of burn time. I use a needle oiler to refill it as that's the easiest way to get fluid in the tiny hole without making a mess. I've even made large oil lamps out of the bigger Tabasco bottles. Keep the great work.
Excellent. Thank you for watching and for sharing your experience making lamps like this.
Cool lamp. I always learn new things watching your channel. Thank you! Keep making these videos. This another great project to make like all the others. Thank you and have a Great Day!
Thank you so much!
I like it! My wife works at a local eye clinic and they're often throwing away sample bottles that hold a ml or two. I keep one of bleach in most of my bags but I'll add in a few of oil now as well.
This just made me go back to the last one of the 1790s series. That sunset at 9:20 and celebration at 11:20
"I danced for the scribe and the Pharisee,
But they would not dance and they wouldn't follow me;... "
Thank you so much! Glad that you are still enjoying the 1790 series. God willing and the weather permitting we're going to be filming for episode 12 this week.
@@WayPointSurvival I can hardly wait.
I don't know how much I can do but to sub, like and share. If there's anything else, please, let me know.
You're putting a lot of work into this and it is appreciated.
Thank you.
Thank you so much! I really do appreciate all the support!
The Lord of the Dance, I was just playing that for a friend who had never heard it before.
That was an amazing video thank you for making it I enjoyed watching it and it was a great idea what you showed people absolutely genius keep doing what you're doing because you're really good at it.
Thank you for watching and for the kind words;
U may not be able to cook on it, nor will it keep you warm, but I have no doubt this little Gizmo will give u light in a survival situation. Map reading, compass orientation. And even emergency wound patching. Light is paramount. Great vidio. Stay safe.
You're right! Thank you for watching!
Nice lil project James. This has the wheels turning. I have made a glass refillable oil burner for my uco brass candle lantern.
Sounds good. Thanks for watching!
🇺🇸🙋♀️🐴🍃 Great lil compact oil lamp, and love the olive oil idea!
Thank you so much!
Thank you. That's great
Thank you for watching!

Pretty neat . Lars is a character. 😁 Have a great evening
Indeed he is! Thanks for watching.
