Small hand-held launching distress flare?

[Kirk_Ferentz]

I know I have seen these on TV before, but I cannot seem to find any online other than from this site:

It is somewhat hard to search for them, as it is hard to distinguish them from (1) distress flares that are launched out of flare guns and (2) distress flares that are just burning flares that do not launch.

I want a few to add to my survival kit, along with my smoke flare for daytime signalling.

Orion makes just about every type of flare/distress signal you could think of. If you have any boating supply stores near you give them a look, otherwise the shipping will be expensive as they are a HAZMAT item. I keep the skyblazers with me, theyre the size of a AA maglight and are SOLAS/USCG approved

Regular road flares would work as well, 15 minute burn time and you could get a few smokey fires going with them, the smoke would become your aerial signal

if you have an Academy Sports near you they carry the Orion Pocket Rocket in the boating section.
