ame,

Dump the matches. With the SparkLite and TinderQuick you don't need them. Make up some Vaseline cotton balls to practice with the SparkLite.

You need to practice with the signal mirror. Get some Duct tape or Gaffers tape and put it around the thin plastic holder. You might want to get a PDA screen protector to protect the mirror surface. You should also precut some thin cord for the mirror. That way you can pull it out and put it around your neck so you will be able to deploy it fast enough to signal an airplane before it is out of sight.

When you are lost and stressed out is not the time for niceties.
