What's It For?
Lightweight, Multiple Pocket, 430 Denier Nylon Pack Cloth, Pack
Think about it. If your kit isn't with you, it cannot help you. That is why we have carefully examined all options and have designed and manufactured just the right size and lightest pack around. The bright red is a great option to use to signal people far away or in the air. The camouflage is for those who would prefer to have something that doesn't show as easily and plans to use the signaling equipment only to attract attention when help is needed. Durable and useful, that is our pack!

The Suunto* name is the benchmark for quality in compass manufacturing and is known to outdoor enthusiasts around the world. The Suunto* Gem Micro Compass provides a high quality, liquid filled capsule with a rotating, ratcheted dial and straight edge marked in inches for easy map use. Red Fox tested this Suunto* Compass along with other brand name micro compasses at extreme conditions of 10,000ft. elevation and 40 degrees below 0o F. Suunto* excelled in performance! To our surprise, other brand name compasses developed vacuum bubbles which significantly interfered with compass accuracy. You can depend on Suunto* accuracy wherever you go! And, Suunto provides instructions for proper compass use. For your safety, Red Fox recommends that you always carry a 2nd Suunto* compass as a backup in case one is lost or broken. We also teach other orienteering methods; by utilizing your watch, shadows and stars; in our Red Fox Emergency/Survival Instructions!

 

Signal Whistle
Our Signal Whistle is an excellent signal device because its shrill sound carries a great distance. As an SOS distress signal, blow three short bursts with a brief pause between each. Pause longer after completion of the three bursts and repeat. Red Fox teaches you to avoid screaming for help. Screaming wears you down physically and emotionally and creates a sense of panic. Other signaling methods are also discussed in our Emergency/Survival Instructions! Neon Orange with lanyard.

Signal Streamer
Our bright orange Signal Streamer is a highly visible signal device. Whether  you need to remain in your shelter, or are out collecting water, food, etc., find a small tree in a clearing that can be easily seen from several different directions. Wrap the Signal Streamer around the tree like you would tinsel on a Christmas tree. Other signaling methods are also discussed in our Emergency/Survival Instructions! Signal Streamer is also useful for marking your trail when you are out collecting water or food and need a clearly visible way to make your way back to your shelter and supplies. Red Fox teaches you how to avoid becoming  worn down physically and emotionally. This can create a sense of panic. Also useful for rescuers to mark territory where they have already searched for a missing person.

Signal Mirror
Constructed of 1/4" highly reflective laminated glass, this military type signal mirror is useful in emergencies, routine signaling or for any mirror application. A unique mesh targeting system provides pinpoint aiming accuracy. Glass can be polished to a finer reflective surface than plastic or metal mirrors, making glass the superior signal mirror. When signaling, if no specific target is identified, simply sweep the horizon or mountain ridges. Detailed instructions are included on the back of the mirror. 2" x 3"

Waterproof Match Box
Our Waterproof Match Box is an excellent container for the Strike Anywhere Matches which Red Fox Strongly recommends. The advantage of this match type is that it can be struck on numerous abrasive surfaces to light, such as a rock, seat of your pants or the flint on the bottom of this orange plastic Waterproof Match Box. Red Fox does not recommend using wind/waterproof matches because of their significant disadvantages which could leave you without a life saving fire. This topic is discussed further in our Emergency/Survival Instructions. Due to Federal Department of Transportation/HazMat shipping regulations, no matches are included in this Match Box or Red Fox Kit. You will need to supply them yourself from your local market.

Emergency Candle
With a 4 hour burn time, this Emergency Candle is a great light source and can also keep you warm in a snow cave. Red Fox teaches you how to use this candle and one Strike Anywhere Match to light your life saving fire. It's critical to not waste match after match in an attempt to start one fire. Our method allows you to have matches left over to start future fires. Measuring 3/4" x 5", this candle also fits many popular candle lanterns and is handy for camping and backpacking as well as emergencies!

The best Fire Starter Red Fox has tested! Each 5" stick lights 4 to 5 fires and is waterproof...lights even after being submerged in water. This Fire Starter is nontoxic, odorless and provides a fast, safe way to start a fire. Ideal for backpacking, camping, hunting, fishing and scouting as well as emergencies!

Cyalume* Lightstick
Cyalume* Lightsticks are a safe, reliable light source as well as a great nighttime signal device. This highly visible yellow, 12 hour lightstick is waterproof, nontoxic, cool to the touch and requires no batteries!

Emergency Sunglasses
Sunglasses are an essential part of your outdoor gear. When your daily sunglasses are broken, lost or forgotten, our Emergency Sunglasses, which block damaging UV A and B rays, will prevent disabling snow blindness and secondary eye infection. Eye infections can result in fever, dehydration, generalized fatigue and may require antibiotic treatment. Snow blindness does not only occur while out in the snow during winter months, but also during summer months. As well as being out in the snow, the possibility of becoming snow blind significantly increases if you are out on open water and/or gain elevation in the mountains.

Toilet Paper Rollette
In emergency situations, toilet paper manages the important issue of hygiene and thus improves your morale and helps to prevent possible infection. Toilet Paper Rollettes are greatly appreciated by children, hikers, backpackers, hunters, snowmobilers and travelers! 140 sheet roll.
