I understand qrq30...My response was to Smoking Joe specific circumstances.....specifically SAR...

When I did Search and Rescue there were NO birds looking for the person and/or you 90% of the time.

A pen flare/smoke from a fire or even a whistle all help to locate someone in that type of situation. (No birds, only ground personnel searching.)

I can totally understand everyone's reasoning for not preffering flares for combat.....but for SAR, they work good.

I'm not knocking a mirror. But for SAR, why not carry both??
