Fox10,

The worst thing about the Field and Stream article is trying to match the numbers on the pictures to the numbers in the text.

Have you actually used the StarFlash? The reflective surface is about the same a aluminum foil, sad to say the least. Compared to a PSP mirror or a glass military style signal mirror is like a toy to a survival tool. Also the bright spot in the aiming hole is too bright. It is hard to see the target past the fireball.

For a light thin mirror check out the REI featherweight mirror. I have a cut piece in my wallet. It is much thinner than a credit card and more reflective than a StarFlash.

There are many good ideas and pictures in the book. Someone needed to write one on assembling survival kits.

Thanks! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
