These mirrors are virtually indestructible and should last a long time. They are well worth the few dollars they cost.<br /><br />Feel free to make substitutions or additions...after all it's for your survival. I only recommend that you use quality gear that won't let you down at a critical time.<br /><br />Thanks anon.<br /><br />RWriverwalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575212890278793911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4858350933853662775.post-3799879445622154362012-08-20T19:09:29.814-05:002012-08-20T19:09:29.814-05:00I put together the kit, but I couldn't find th...I put together the kit, but I couldn't find the camping mirror.
