Flares

Twenty-gauge buckshot loads purchased in early 1970s functioned well two decades later. But then "fireworks" could be something else.

When we were making the SOS Light video, my wife went out in the bay at night and shot 4 aerial flares while I was on shore with the camera. The last one went up like normal but did not light up at all. It was a dud. She came back to the dock saying "I'm glad our lives weren't depending on that last flare..."

I'd keep them as backups. Having once needed flares.... All the unexpired flares worked. Only one of the brand new flares worked. I *always* keep them on board, but only the most recent expired set. The really old ones go to my logging buddy who uses them to set brush fires.
