I have enjoyed ETS site for about a month now and have enjoyed and learned a lot. The forum seems like a great place to get advice so I though I would join and take part. I have started my altoid take along and so far I have: fire,fishing,meds, repair taken care of. I live in eastern Ky. and need advice on signaling for my mini kit. I carry flares in my larger kit but when traveling with others I don't always take it. I knew a man who went over a hill in a car,in the middle of winter, and had to lay there two days because he didn't have any way to signal. A mirror would not have helped him and his cb would not reach over the hills. This has happened more than once with less favorable outcome. Anyway, all advise would be helpful.<br><br>
