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.
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.
Since you seem to have issues understanding things like basics thermodynamics and physics, I’ll break it down in short sentences.
Candle make little heat that go away into air, take long time to raise temperature of room. Long time means candle likely left alone for long time.
Blanket keep your little heat close to body, keep you warmer than candle will.
Candle balanced on tower of pots and bricks. Candle not likely to fall, pots and bricks very likely to get bumped by idiot trying to use candle to heat entire room during emergency. Idiot might be asleep when they bump candle. Or idiot human might have idiot cat that want to play with shiny glowy candle. Now idiot die in fire cause big fire use all the air and make a lot of smoke.
Lmfao, I understand it’s fine, that’s why I know that what up a pot with candles can be a useful source of heat. 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 snugs the candles…
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.
We get it, you’re functionally illiterate. Go back to grade 1 school.

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.
