Orion Handheld Marine Signal Flares ( DEMO) Its Important To Use Your Emergency Gear...

love the flares

Cool

Please, don't trash the lake just to test a toy :-) This is the lake where you can fish.

Hey Jeff ever thought of getting into ham radio?

Poor lake

Oh-rye-in. Not or-e-on.

Please don’t tell me that’s how you pronounce “Orion”. O- Ryan not or-I-on

Would you ever consider doing beer reviews again? I really liked those videos

Spot on, Jeff. I was an Aircrew Flight Equipment technician in the Air Force for 28 years and did periodic sample tests on the different lots of signaling munitions we had on hand to ensure they were still good. We also took the aircrew out once a year to make sure they got some hands on. Last thing you want when you’re having a bad day is to a) waste precious time figuring out how to use your gear and/or b) find out it’s unserviceable at the worst possible moment.

O-ryan

Wow really awesome video!!! :D

They are great fired starters

Would you consider doing a video about "cheap" (50$ and less) good work fixed blades? If there are any? I am 20 and have a full time job but no amount of money to throw at knives all day. But I do enjoy the hobby and want to know what's cheap vs crap

If you have any knives for sale I'd be interested. How would I contact you about that?

Excellent demo!

Tactical insertion!

Those things have alot of spark.

"O Ryan"

Would be useful in an emergency situation!

They should make matches like that. That work in water.

I read a pamphlet put out by the Coastguard here in Fla when those firefighters went off shore fishing and got lost. They suggested saving the other end of those flares for use in day or night. While the smoke may not be visable at night the heat signature can still be picked up on F.L.I.R. from a good distance away

I just Carry fireworks everywhere i go. There loud and Bright.

You should have done this at night. I love flares 😷

Cool way to light a cigar.

Then there was what we did in high school with road flares, a 10 foot helium balloon and some firecrackers attached halfway down the flare. Cool sight at night :)

Mmmm drip all that plastic into the lake

Start a fire with one please. I am thinking with the way it burns you could just start a log on fire no kindling needed.

Hi Jeff, i just wanted to let you know that Zippo will release over 120 new motives this september! I have watched all your zippo videos:)

Fuck the animals and fish , people are such fairies these days

Oh rye on...like the constellation

it drips fire...hmmm guess I shouldn't use this in the woods then huh

aint no bear flare

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Very helpful!

They say these are a bear deterrent? One of the best you can use ,?

Thanks! I’ve never used a flare so this was very helpful.

A lot of smoke for indoor marijuana burning. Probably slow burning for a rocket. Long length small nozzle hole. At least 3 segments. Expect explosions. Test. Retest.

If it drop on the board and catch fire.

Just so you know. U get to respawn in the same location after lighting the flare.

Thank you for the video! I’m writing a short story where someone uses one of these and I needed to see one in action. Does anyone know what these things smell like? That would be helpful for my story too! Thanks!

Ummmm this is illegal it says it’s illegal to use if not in an emergency. Jk. Not really. I mean technically it is but I don’t care and thanks for all the info. Awesome vid

Huevos! Aghhhh smelly Huevos!!

About as effective as a flashlight

or-ee-on?

Used to work for that company. Very neat to see them used

important please read...for anyone concerned with the demo being done on this body of water here is an explanation...1st of all this is on private property, the chemicals in a flare are no different than in pyrotechnics and thousands upon thousands of fireworks shows are done over massive bodies of water every forth of july all around the world with no concerns about the habitat and fish...The only difference is a few tiny bits of plastic left behind which can be cleaned out easily, Ill also add that this pond (technically its a tiny lake by definition but I always saw it as a pond) has multiple natural springs that feed it and anything that goes into the pond is washed out within a day or 2 replaced by thousands of gallons of fresh water...I really do appreciate your concern for the fish and other animals but it will not be an issue, Im made the choice to do this demo in this water to perhaps save a humans life one day by knowing how these work, there are people who use these in an emergency and die because it melts their inflatable raft they are in...As much as I love animals people come 1st but in this case the animals are fine anyway ;)
