A candle in a can between your crossed legs, as you lean against a tree with your poncho over everything, to capture the heat, can get you through a night, of course a candle lantern with a 9 hour candle is smaller and easier to carry.

I make a point of keeping a few glass-encased votive candles in the house. You occasionally see them cheap in dollar stores. They burn for up to 6 days.

I have enough jar candles to last a year if using them at night for light. I took the number of hours they burn, figured how many hours I would need light at night for a year, and bought that many jar candles. I did that years ago and they are stored in boxes in a large storage area closet under the stairs in my house. That is backup plan B I probably won't need but they are there.
