The aperatus is simple, a shallow pottery bowl,
a handfull of fine gravel,four stones fashioned to
look like a scorpion,one or more wicks
(red belt bracket)and enough oil to fill the bowl.
Used for cooking,heating,and ligthing,the Scorpion motif is a powerful survival tool.without
the poisonous smoke of a wood fire,you can
heat the inside of a snow shelter or tent.Also
known as a kudlijk(Eskimo oil stove)they were used for tens of centuries for survival.I carry one in my pack. Less than two pounds, its not a
burden to carry.One pint of oil can burn from
4 to 60 hours depending on the number of wicks
How many tons of wood does it take to burn a
fire for 60 hours?If you are in a small shelter,
chances are a wood fire wont be! when I am
serious about getting warm,i use the smokeless
fire. ]]> erunkiswldrnssurvival https://www.wilderness-survival.net/forums/entry.php?130-Scorpion-oil-lamp-The-Archaic-Smokeless-Fire
