Parachute flares, group buy? fold in with S

I set off a flare the other night (new year's eve at midnight a year ago) and was not so impressed. My wife want me to carry a couple of parachute flares, and as a trip leader I think I really should. So, anybody else out there want to buy some parachute flares.

We might fold this into Shanes thing (if he wants and if it helps) I will organize it and be responsible though, unless someone else wants to do it.

Parachute flares are expensive sell for $50 each retail!

I am seeing prices at 42.20 including taxes if we do 15. No big deal but...
