Yes that is called a Kudlic
en.wikipedia.org...

Fat is also good lubrication for steel,woodstoves etc.

When it was freezing,a Kudlic was just a candle and it gave them some heat.

I am intrigued by any culture that has better survival skills than we do.
Its a lost art and way of life.

If I wanted to have the greatest chance of survival, I'd definitely focus my time on hunting. The first thing I'd probably do is find a river for water and then try for some fish. Sooooo many more choices in a survival situation if consuming animals and less of a chance of being poisoned by plants that you might think are edible or mistake for the wrong thing.

Of course, I'm speaking for myself.

Meat.

I dont have a choice realy as my body has trouble produceing the enzymes to break down green's. Fruits great but were I live its not practical to live on fruit.

I don't plan on surviving alone, so some of us would concentrate on gardening, and others on hunting/fishing, and collectively, we'd reap the rewards of both. I've hunted and fished since I was a kid, though it has been a LONG time since I've done so in recent years. I'm hoping to get back into fishing this year though, with the family.

It also depends on your surroundings. Not much deer around here, but plenty of birds, frogs, snakes, and insects. We do see rabbits fairly often, and armadillos. Food is all around us, just that with the modern mindset, we don't seem to realize it. I have to chuckle while watching Survivor, when the contestants complain about being hungry, yet they are right by the ocean, and there's a big juicy bird on a branch behind them. Huh? How are you hungry?
