Signal flares?

[hissilliness.livejournal.com]

I'm leaving for a camping trip in Maine on Sunday that will take us to some relatively remote spots. The last time we were there, we kind of wished we had a rocket signal flare with us in case of emergency. This time I figured I'd pick one up at Roach's.

The guys at Roach's told me that they don't have 'em, and suggested I try Tags. Tags doesn't have 'em. EMS doesn't seem to have them. Any suggestions for possible local sources? I have a Zipcar for Saturday afternoon, so I can go pretty far afield if I need to.

Note also that people who own boats tend to accumulate them and might hand you a pack for free; they have a certified shelf life of a few years, then need replacing. (Though I'm also with those above who say "wait, are you sure you want that?")

Any of the 400000 West Marine branches in the area will also surely have them, but Boxell's has a lot more personality.
