Sending smoke signals
Imagine a scenario:
You are travelling with a group in the Sahara. For some unexplicable reason you become separated and you are in an area with hills obscuring the view. You are trying to make your way to a known good waypoint but your vehicle breaks down.
You know that the rest of the group will come back searching for you, but you are not exactly where they would expect to find you.
How do you make your presence known to them (CB radio not available or out of range)?
I could imagine a smoke signal could work, but you may need a lot of smoke for a prolonged time. Burning a tyre or pieces of trim could be an answer, but rescue may arrive any minute, and with the vehicle fixed you are ready to proceed again, only regretting you’ve panicked and deprived yourself of a vital piece of equipment.
Your ideas, please.
