Good idea. That's what I did for most of the other items. A few were very happy to oblige, but some would allow orders of no less than 50 to 100 items in quantity.

Still, it's worth a shot.

Thanks, and thanks for both the links and ideas!

Had I known where I was going when all of this started I might have gone that route, but truthfully the Mini Maglite and LED kit make a pretty darn good flashlight for less than $15.00. I didn't mind that expense too much, and having had my D-Cell MagLite for going on 10 years now, and my first Mini MagLite for nearly 5 and second for more than 3 with none having failed yet, I trust both the product and the manufacturer. And these torches have been put through the paces...

I hope the LED kit cuts the mustard as well. Even if it doesn't I've included the original parts in the Survival Kit so they could use them if things don't work out.

The Mirror though... That's a very important piece of equipment...

Interesting... I'll take a look at that. Thanks!

Have you considered buying Mirror Card and cutting it to size? There is some more about it here . I don't know if the quality is good enough for you - it's reflective but no aiming hole.

Yeah, as well as Mylar with a hard backing and Acrylic mirror stock, but in the end I feared that it mught be impossible to aim reflected light where one intends due to warping. However, it's an idea I'd really like to test, and if I had the time to do see how well it worked I'd go for it.

Thanks for the idea though! All input is greatly appreciated. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

*Update*
I was able to find many suppliers of "Rite in the Rain" paper products online, and the price is something I could definitely swing. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I think these kits are going to be called "Nico's Better Late Than Never Christmas Survival Kits"... I still have to pack and ship these things out and I'm waiting on the last few pieces to be shipped in. LOL

The CountryComm mirrors are nice, but heavy glass and large sized....no way are they bottle sized.

You might want to consider switching to PP Nalgene bottles, their mouth will flex by a mm or two to allow a good mirror in I think.

I would not compromise on the mirror in any case. You have taken the trouble to find excellent pieces for these kits so you may as well spring for quality mirrors. Doug's mirrors are quite nice....maybe you just want to add a Ritter Kit to each of these eh <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, had I known where I was going with this whole Survival Kit I would have just bought everyone the Ritter PSK, added the knife, Maglite and LED Kit, saved myself a whole lot of money and helped out ETS at the same time.

What can I say? I screwed up. I'm in too deep to fix it now, and can't really afford to go another $250.00. <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

A google search came up with this flexible signal mirror. I wonder if that would squeeze into your bottle?
