 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

It is best to buy these locally to avoid the hazmat shipping. Use the price match option that many places honor and buy at the store. Just have to check the expiration dates. i often look at the smoke can expiration dates if I happen to be at say West Marine and when a sales rep walks buy tell them they shouldn't be selling something that is going to exp soon. .....like that is going to make them take it off the shelf.....not.
If your serious about the flares and don't just want a prop for the CG get the Solas Approved flares, much more money but you get what you pay for. Were going to have some training soon with about a boat load of parachutes, smokes and handhelds soon, way out at sea where no one can see........

Figured they were Mike, I can't always open attachments.
Why are you buying flares at seasons end, not coming out for a while?

Not hauling until December And I'm trying to get 50+ mile CGinspection. The only requirement keeping me under 50miles now is the solas flare kit.
