Signaling is one of the most important categories of survival equipment. While food, water, and shelter are important, getting out is the ultimate goal in a true survival situation.
That’s why whistles, signal panels, and a signaling mirror should be in every survival kit. These are all small, lightweight items that should never be left behind.
In this video, Tyler explains how to use a signaling mirror, including how to sight it. This is very important to ensure that you’re sending the flash towards the intended target. When done correctly, you can reach rescuers miles away in open country, and it’s not unheard of to signal to a low flying aircraft.
Tyler also discusses some improvised signal options and how to prepare and use them. This video is not to be missed. The information that it contains could literally save your life.

I always carry my boy scout mirror with me for such use when I go out in a remote area. It has saved my life.
