Has anyone thought of using flares for emergency comms. I understand that there could be bad guys in your area but in general flares are common and can be purchased fairly cheap. I've found some smaller ones in the marine department at Bass Pro Shop.
Of course, this is a "I'm in a secure location and have the manpower to hold this position"
Any thoughts?...Good thoughts that is. We all know this would be like firing at someone with a laser on your weapon (here I am, return fire)

Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.
I'm assuming you are talking about trip flairs.....
We have went with more the "audible" trip alarms....those little personal alarms in a solo cup rigged to a trip line.
We have a few IR strobe trip alarms for night.
And a few of these...http://www.ebay.com/itm/280786133266...84.m1423.l2648

I'm the next couple weeks, I will be getting a couple of maritime distress flares from@ a local supplier. I have the pouches, and decent need to have them
considering that both my Primary and Secondary BOL's are made from wood, and in the bush, fire is not necessarily my friend!
That said, I have a pile of flares in my marine kits, but they would only be used in one forseeable scenario!

Mil spec Day/night flares like some these have their uses.Smoke end provides 45 sec of heavy red smoke.A distraction.Added benifit the smoke is very irritating to skin and eyes.The day end has lots of uses but you could torch your BOL

Whether to used for security as a trip flare or a location marker, I left it open for discussion. I feel there are enough uses to warrent the purchase of a few at least.....(marker, signal, fire, even a night light if needed, etc)
Be ready now, you won't have that chance later.
or to blind someone using night vision???
