I do basically the same thing. I have a "Foodsaver" unit that vacuum seals things. So all my flares are in vacuum sealed plastic bags. And I know that this is a thread about disposal of the flares, but I also keep a dozen 15 minute railroad flares in sealed bags too. The law says you have to have X approved marine flares aboard... but there's no law that says you can't have railroad flares aboard also. And truthfully, I like the idea of a 15 minute flare better than a 3 minute or a 30 second flare for attracting attention should I ever get in trouble at night.

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
