MeatEater x Wild + Co Last Light Candle

We couldn’t call it First Light, and that’s fine. Some of us prefer the last light anyway.

Sore legs. Heavy packs. A hard day in the backcountry. Hunger setting in. Thirst building. That final glass-calm moment before the sun drops and you decide whether you’ve got one more push left.

Last Light carries strong pine, resinous oud, and tobacco blossom that is deep, grounded, and steady. It smells like satisfaction. Like knowing you left everything out there, tag filled or not.

MeatEater candles are poured in small batches in Salmon, Idaho, in collaboration with Wild + Co. Each candle is crafted with 100% soy wax sourced in the United States, cedar wicks, and ingredients you can feel good about bringing into your home. Three percent of all sales goes toward protecting access to public lands for all.

Important Care Instructions:  Wood wick candles are made with real wood, so they burn a little differently than your standard wick. A little upkeep goes a long way toward a clean, even burn every time you light your candle. On the first burn you may see a higher flame - this is normal. Let it burn for a few minutes, then blow it out, pinch off the charred wood, and relight for a small steady flame. On the first burn, let the wax melt all the way to the edge of the container (about 1 hour) to prevent tunneling. From here, burn your candle as you would a regular candle. Continue to pinch off charred wood each time before you light.
