Not that I agree with their choices but they bring up few interesting items that are worth exploring such as the pocket flare. I'm also a big fan of Rino but that rechargable battery is what worries me.

Well see for yourself.

Interesting list, lots of high end stuff. I'm considering the powerflare.

That's no moon, that's a space station... Errr. I mean it's not a backpack, it's luggage with an attachable day pack. I don't even know why it would be considered survival gear.

I'm at a serious loss on that one.

Someone please tell me what I'm missing...

I dig the Power Flare though.

Must be the return of the 'yuppies'

upscale survival -- everything else is 'upscale' nowadays

The only thing I agree with are the guns. The Kel-Tec SU16 and the AR7 are both interesting rifles. They are both light and compact. The AR7 tends to not be accurate or reliable.

I don't think the Power Flare has anything over the older TurboFlare360. The article says the MSRP for the PowerFlare is $90. I think that's for two since the website quotes $45 for one. I just saw an eBay auction for 10 brand new TurboFlares for $25, plus the TurboFlare uses regular AA's while the PowerFlare uses either CR123's or some special rechargable battery pack.

I actually prefer the 123s over AAs because of the shelf life.
