Flares

[Flash]

Dudes and dudesses,

What say you regarding my flare setup...

A simple pen flare with 4 flares kept in a modded battery case.

BTW this case clips on to a second for my CR123A and AA carries.

Thats quite a set up are there any issues regarding the 123 batteries being so close to the flares or are they all in single cell occupancy 
ps where did you get flares ??

[Flash]

Jock,

There is no chance of any leakage or accidental discharge as the cases are separate and waterproof etc

I am envious.

That's pretty cool.  Flares are not something I've considered using in a small kit, but that would work quite well.  Where would one find a pen flare like that?

Why do you carry flare's mate , in my experience those pen flare's are pretty hopeless unless it's really, really dark

[WhichDawg]

very nice set up

For being seen M!
but like Micky pointed out if you haven't tested them in a situation
(like roadside or someplace you'd want to be seen)
it would be a good idea to do so (unless you already know).

brighter the better. I keep some flares in my B.O.B. (still in their clamshell)
but I haven't tested them up here, now I will.

I got these from some Maritime supply website.  They are not road side flares and are purely the sky signal type.  Mickyd you are right...they work best at night...as for why I carry them...why not

 Seriously,if they're compact,why not stash something like that in a B.O.B.;anything is better than nothing.

Fair enough then

The pickle fork on the Flair is a bit of a waste don't you think?

Sorry, my brain has no capacity for non-multitool related thoughts.
