through the coconut you can see this is bursting to come out there

that is really good stuff you remember

that is really good stuff you remember this stuff this is the rope that I made

this stuff this is the rope that I made

this stuff this is the rope that I made in a previous video out of coconut husk

in a previous video out of coconut husk

in a previous video out of coconut husk as well but ropes not just good for

as well but ropes not just good for

as well but ropes not just good for tying together rafts or string up

tying together rafts or string up

tying together rafts or string up clotheslines you can also use it as an

clotheslines you can also use it as an

clotheslines you can also use it as an improvised wick which means we can

improvised wick which means we can

improvised wick which means we can probably make ourselves a coconut candle

probably make ourselves a coconut candle

probably make ourselves a coconut candle so here’s the idea if you took another

so here’s the idea if you took another

so here’s the idea if you took another coconut and shred it up all the meat you

coconut and shred it up all the meat you

coconut and shred it up all the meat you could actually extract all the coconut

could actually extract all the coconut

could actually extract all the coconut milk and out of the coconut milk you

milk and out of the coconut milk you

milk and out of the coconut milk you could extract yourself coconut oil this

could extract yourself coconut oil this

could extract yourself coconut oil this stuff is going to be the fuel for our

stuff is going to be the fuel for our

stuff is going to be the fuel for our coconut candle so we got our fuel we got

coconut candle so we got our fuel we got

coconut candle so we got our fuel we got our candle we’ve got our wick all we

our candle we’ve got our wick all we

our candle we’ve got our wick all we have to do now is put them all together

have to do now is put them all together

have to do now is put them all together cut off a length of your coconut husk a

cut off a length of your coconut husk a

cut off a length of your coconut husk a rope and simply wrap it around your

rope and simply wrap it around your

rope and simply wrap it around your fingers to make yourself a nice little

fingers to make yourself a nice little

fingers to make yourself a nice little loop like this when you set this on the

loop like this when you set this on the

loop like this when you set this on the table you now have a place for the base

table you now have a place for the base

table you now have a place for the base of your coconut to sit so your coconut

of your coconut to sit so your coconut

of your coconut to sit so your coconut stands upright without rolling all over

stands upright without rolling all over

stands upright without rolling all over the place now we’re going to do is take

the place now we’re going to do is take

the place now we’re going to do is take some of our coconut oil and fill up our

some of our coconut oil and fill up our

some of our coconut oil and fill up our coconut then take the rest of our rope

coconut then take the rest of our rope

coconut then take the rest of our rope and push it down inside to act as a wick

and push it down inside to act as a wick

and push it down inside to act as a wick I’m really curious to see whether or not

I’m really curious to see whether or not

I’m really curious to see whether or not this is actually going to work right

this is actually going to work right

this is actually going to work right that’s had a couple of minutes to soak

that’s had a couple of minutes to soak

that’s had a couple of minutes to soak let’s light it off now to light these

let’s light it off now to light these

let’s light it off now to light these wicks you’re just going to need to hold

wicks you’re just going to need to hold

wicks you’re just going to need to hold a flame on them for about twenty to

a flame on them for about twenty to

a flame on them for about twenty to thirty seconds just enough to heat up

thirty seconds just enough to heat up

thirty seconds just enough to heat up the oil the point where it’s

the oil the point where it’s

the oil the point where it’s self-sustaining

self-sustaining

self-sustaining [Music]

[Music] we have the ignition think we’ve just

we have the ignition think we’ve just

we have the ignition think we’ve just created ourselves a coconut candle now

created ourselves a coconut candle now

created ourselves a coconut candle now what should be happening is as the flame

what should be happening is as the flame

what should be happening is as the flame heats up the oil I should start wicking

heats up the oil I should start wicking

heats up the oil I should start wicking up more oil from underneath so rather

up more oil from underneath so rather

up more oil from underneath so rather than burning the wick and completely

than burning the wick and completely

than burning the wick and completely consuming it it’ll just start burning

consuming it it’ll just start burning

consuming it it’ll just start burning off the oil vapors and create a nice

off the oil vapors and create a nice

off the oil vapors and create a nice little candle for us if you want a

little candle for us if you want a

little candle for us if you want a bigger flame tilt your coconut over to

bigger flame tilt your coconut over to

bigger flame tilt your coconut over to about 45 degrees this will make it so

about 45 degrees this will make it so

about 45 degrees this will make it so the oil can flow a little bit more

the oil can flow a little bit more

the oil can flow a little bit more freely and your flames going to grow

freely and your flames going to grow

freely and your flames going to grow exponentially it actually smells really

exponentially it actually smells really

exponentially it actually smells really nice if you were to take some of this

nice if you were to take some of this

nice if you were to take some of this stuff and wrap it around a stick and

stuff and wrap it around a stick and

stuff and wrap it around a stick and soak it in coconut oil you could

soak it in coconut oil you could

soak it in coconut oil you could probably make yourself a torch as well

probably make yourself a torch as well

probably make yourself a torch as well so with a little coconut oil some
