 GJ> Why the candles, instead of a battery torch?  Do torch batteries fail

 JW> Torch batteries like any other chemical battery loose about 50% of
 JW> their power with every 20 degree drop in temperature.

I knew lead-acid batteries lost power when cold, but didn't know about
carbon-zinc ones.  I wonder if there are any that don't?  Perhaps
super-capacitors?

 JW> vehicle to pass by and offer assistance. They wouldn't help much; a
 JW> blanket and a wool toque are much more effective.

I suppose the same principle as the seal-oil lamp heating the interior
of your family igloo.   Are they special low temperature candles, or
will ordinary ones work in your extreme climate?

 JW> I've never been in a situation where I needed to use candles or high
 JW> energy snack food, but always carry them just in case.

Do ordinary matches ignite there, or are they special also?
