ORION Safety Products - 15 Minute Road Flares (1 Pack of 3 Flares) - 2 Pack

Best Flares for emergencies. Very visible on the side of the highway at night or day. Best quality.

Very good. Tested one and lasted almost exactly 20 minutes.

Great product

Quality flares at a good price.

Bought these for my survival kit. Good price.

I tested one and it went out after about 10 minutes. These flares are for 15 minutes. Maybe I should of bought the 30 minute flares which is probably a good lite time

Easy to light , very compact, and great for starting fires when camping or add to your survival gear

So... this being my first experience with a flare, I had the bright idea of gently grazing the included strike surface with the flare inside my room. It immediately went from a small red spark to a full flare. I tried crushing it on the tile floor (see images) to no avail. I then sprinted to the bathroom, slightly filled the sink, and tried smothering it there. No go; the water around it actually started boiling instead, as the flare shot out under the water. The sink is now permanently burnt (see images). Finally, I flung open a window and tossed it out onto the dew - covered grass. I ran around to the door, and back toward the yard, where the flare had begun to catch some of the wet grass on fire. I forced the flare into the wet dirt, and after about 3 seconds of twisting the flame was finally smothered. For the following minute or two it continued to smoke heavily, and some embers kept reigniting. Once the flare was completely caked with mud, it slowly stopped smoking. Now the tile has a noticeable burn mark even after cleaning, if you look close enough... so even if you're in the Amazon jungle during a monsoon, this thing will definitely get you spotted. Now worries about the monsoon, this thing will just boil all the water that rains unto it. Damn.
