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!
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!
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.

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 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!
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.
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!
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!
Spectacular job Brother 👍 thank you for giving the credit to LARS you are a man of good Character 👍
Thank you so much!
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!
I’m glad I found this Chanel 👍🏽👍🏽
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!
Your ingenuity amazes me.
Thank you for watching, glad you liked it!
I love your research on products that you show us. Thank you,
Thank you so much, glad you like the video!
Another great idea and project and as usual well presented.
Thank you so much!
Thank you James! You share so many survival tips that could save lives. 💜👍😊
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words!
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
Thank you so much!
A true bushcraft McGiver.
Thank you so much, my friend!
Dude heck yeah! James your diy stuff is my favorite these oil lamps are super cool love little projects keep em coming buddy!!😁✌💚
Thank you so much, glad you liked the video.
Great little project and a handy item of kit. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
That is such a smart idea. Thank you for sharing it.
Thank you for watching, glad you liked it!
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’s a great little project that anyone can do…..ty for sharing another awesome video…
Glad you liked it and thanks for watching!
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.
That's a very clever and useful build. Thank you!
Thank you for watching, I'm glad you liked it!
Another awesome improvised piece of kit, well done sir
Thank you so much!
I like that James. Great practical kit for sure. Thanks for showing us and take care.
Thank you so much, my friend!
Survival Russia is great, already following!👍👍👍
Indeed. Thanks for watching!
That is a cool little project.
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!
Hello 👋 James, thank you for sharing another fine outdoor tip. Stay safe my Friend. 😊
You are more than welcome!
Nice and useful project, perfect for lightweight kits.
Indeed. Thanks for watching!
Very cool project. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Glad you liked it!
Great job James ! I'm still working on mine. Very soon , very soon.
Very good, I look forward to it!
🇺🇸🙋♀️🐴🍃 Great lil compact oil lamp, and love the olive oil idea!
Thank you so much!
Thank you my outdoors friend for sharing this great tip. All the best to you. Stay safe out there. 🤗
Thank you so much!
Thanks for researching these innovative ideas and sharing them!
Thank you for watching!
Fascinating way of using throw away items and making something useful. Very clever and fun project..👍
Thank you so much!
I thought I've seen all of your videos, somehow this one got past and I just seen it. I think it's a great idea. Thanks for sharing, take care.
Awesome, thank you!
Great idea! Thank you for this demonstration.
Thank you for watching!
Yet again, I like it, you always peak my interest and inspire me to try new projects.
Awesome! Thank you!
This is a cool little light!
Thank you 💕
Thank you for watching!
Props for filming in the snow. It must have been super cold at the time.
Yes, it does get quite chilly here sometimes.
Great idea I can fit that in my tackle box
Yes, it's compact size makes it quite doable for multiple packing options.
Great idea James!!
Thank you so much!
James , great idea , thanks for sharing , God bless !
Thank you for watching, my friend!
Wow I love that little trick
Thank you!
Such a bright idea no pun intended
Thank you for watching!
You only need the container, string and oil. The casing is a nice touch, but it isnt needed. Make a very small hole in the lid of the container, just big enough for the string to pass through and make sure the string has oil on it. Simple. :-) Good video.
A mini Altoids tin has punched out hinges in the back which would leak out most of the oil.
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!
Thank you James .great idea you got the gears turning 👍
Glad you like the video and that you found it interesting!
Great Build! Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
WOW !! What an awesome trick !! Boy you are a great inventor , thank you for the share , stay safe , God Bless
Thank you so much for all the kind words, for watching the video and God bless you too!

Thank you for watching!
This lamp is innovative!
Thank you!
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!
Awesome! New video after watching the Stanley playlist, what a treat!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the new video!

Hello James! Not only is that cool, but it’s very logical being small and functional! I’ve seen some of Lars (spell check) videos, he was one smart guy. Thank u
Thank you so much for watching. And yes, Lars is definitely a smart guy!
So cool!!! Love this!
Thank you for watching!
Hi from Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing your thoughts and adventures
Thank you so much Earl!
I’m from Syracuse as well… I live
In Houston now. Miss fall
Really bad. Don’t miss the taxes and handout mentality though
This is even better than the tin of tuna in olive oil lamp!!
I think so. Thank you for watching!
@@WayPointSurvival no worries. I like the stuff you do. Useful here in New Zealand 🇳🇿
Thats a cool little lamp.
Thank you!
You could very well be the best advertising agent for Altoids. I mean that in a good way😁
Thank you so much! I'm still waiting for my royalties check, lol.
@@WayPointSurvival lol well you deserve it
Great idea James
Thank you!
That was legit. Thanks, James.
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!
nice movie really enjoyed watching it very much great idea
Thank you very much, glad you liked it!
WOW 🤩… just another reason to go to the shooting range LOL ! far out idea 💡. Keep them coming FANTASTIC CHANNEL ! Might need to come to a class !
Thank you so much for watching, glad you liked it and we'd love to have you in a class!
Great review brother👍and a small piece of foil folded inside the box for protection from the wind and more shine.
Thank you so much for watching!
A good idea, thx for the vid
Thanks for watching!
That's cool brother thanks I'm on it .
Thank you for watching the video!
Very helpful. Thank You.
Thank you for watching!
I really like the DIY projects and this is another outstanding one!
Thanks James. ATB Sam Adler from Vietnam
Thank you so much, Sam!
Another fun project!
Thank you so much!
I’ve done similar with bacon grease, sausage grease and hamburger grease soaked into a paper towel and put in a can. It burns for a while and doesn’t smell bad. The Jews used olive oil for lamps going back to the beginning of the Jewish faith too so it is a classic and classy choice. Amazing how long paper towel takes to burn away when soaked in oils
True enough. Thanks for watching.
Another great helpful video
Thank you so much!
