I found aFlare on a military Base hunting a few years back.That was on the side of a tree rigged up as a trip wire.I didnt no what it was at the time it look like it had been there for a year or 2.So i took it off the tree and was looking at it and it SAID PULL PIN 2 FIRE.With out ''THINKING'' i pulled the pin and it went off i threw it on the ground fast and it was so bright you could hardly look at it.It started to catch the wood's on fire luckly there was a creek right there i kick it in.That was my most memorable gear find.
