Forest Flares
Mark working with one of the signalling flares in the emergency kit of the Soyuz. The crew can use these flares to signal their position to a rescue helicopter. In dire emergencies, the flares can also be used to start a fire, but there are only two on board and they can't be 'partly used'. The heavy gloves are part of the sea survival kit, donned before an evacuation of the capsule into the ocean.
