I have four boxes of flares that I obtained from Canadian Tire. Any hunting supply company or hardware store should also have them as it was in the hunting section that I found mine.

I agree with you about having added safety features. I also have the orange triangles (4) as well as four orange pylon cones I also keep a few relective safety vests as well. I am always thinking about preparing for the worst, and the winters out here can bring very poor visibility and icy roads.

Good luck stocking up on your roadsite emergency kit!

Off topic, but people will also shoot at you sometimes if they are out hunting on the same trail that you happen to be riding on and have a horse the color of a moose! No kidding! Our local riding/cross country skiiing/hiking reserve land trails are open year round for native hunters, and other hunters in the fall. When I ride out on those trails I use blaze orange halters/leads, saddle pads and the vest to decrease the chance of being shot by some trigger happy dummy.

Another cheap safety product that I keep in my trailer is a couple of those small flashing strobe lights that can be clipped on your vest and or the vehicle to enhance visibility at night. I bought mine at a pet supply store for $5.00 each.

Get you a couple of these...  http://www.barcoproducts.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=1814&DEPARTMENT_ID=112

And some safety vest tips...  http://safetyproducts.lifetips.com/cat/65357/safety-vests/ 

Those flashing safety vests are very cool. Of course, our spooky arab might pitch me right off into the bush when he catches a glimpse of those flashing lights. Oh well, Stars air ambulance will be able to spot me from the sky and land closeby....

I think I'll order one of the Lime green flashing light vests....To wear to the Mall when we go shopping. I guess being in a wheelchair makes you "INVISIBLE"!! Folks will walk and step all over you, or most of the time I'll get T-Boned by some little kid pushing a shopping cart like some wild Indian!

  Anyway, one of those vest may find it's way into my old truck. I got a half dozen "fusee's", box of triangles, a couple orange flags, my U.S. Rider card and cell phone, may as well spring for a vest! We travel at night and the early morning hours about as much as in the daylight. I guess you can never have too much safety equipment!! Just hope to never have to deploy any of it!!

I was just asking a friend of mine, who is a fireman and a member of a search and rescue team, about what he considered to be the best warning device to use during a roadside event. He reached into his voluminous pile of gear and pulled out a small (aprox 6") yellow, circular disc, similar to a Frisbee. Its surface was ringed with many bright white coloured led lenses. When it was turned on, the lights lit up sequentially in a circular pattern. He threw it on the ground and when observed from the side, attracted a great deal of attention.

It was powered by AA batteries that apparently last hundreds of hours. He has not replaced his since the original purchase last summer, with dozens of usages of varying amounts of time. I was concerned about the durability. His has survived being run over by cars, and one truck in the grass. One failed when a fire truck crushed it on the road surface.

These units are called "Turbo Flare" and were purchased on line at Ebay for half the price of fire equipment suppliers. During the evening and nighttime hours, all of his fire dept members have switched to using these units instead of flares, which are still recommended during daylight hours.

Injuries to the members and equipment has been reduced with this usage of these devices. Motorists seem to pay more attention to them than regular flares and it's easier to attract their attention. They are easily seen at long distances and are unaffected by the weather.
