    Default Prepared Smoke Signal Fire

    We all know the green pine boughs on a fire for an emergency smoke signal, but how's this for a home-made, prepared smoke signal:

    http://nerdnirvana.org/2007/07/09/ho...d-smoke-bombs/

    That's about 150g (1/3lb) for a small tube that'll put out some decent signalling power in places that don't have firewood access. Such as: kayaking at sea, deserts, bogs and marshes, beaches, etc.

    EDIT: No lighter handy? http://nerdnirvana.org/2007/07/23/ho...ng-smoke-bomb/
    (probably use waterproof matches and striker)

    Potassium Nitrate (KNO3) or Salt Peter (get your mind out of the gutter) can be bought in the lawn and garden section of some stores like Home Depot, Lowes, WalMart or on-line. It's what supplies oxygen to the device allowing it to burn.
