Do you enjoy taking long, meditative strolls in remote, forested areas alone? Do you speak fluent Ewok? If you answered yes, you might be more than a little strange, but you’re also a  candidate for the Rescue Balloon!

Designer Jaeseok Han wasn't fooling around when he created this compact kit — intended for hikers who get lost or injured in the wilderness and need to signal aerial search teams. It comes complete with a small, lightweight helium gas cylinder and a long, inflatable red balloon that can peer out from the tree canopy and flag down appreciative rescue workers (as well as passing Imperial Shuttles). Or simply take a dozen or so of these things with you and the next time you get lost blow the lot up and do a Balloon Boy to freedom. Go Falcon!

Since it doesn't bet your life on flare guns, cellphones and fancy GPS devices that can run out of ammo or batteries, I really do love the simplicity of this concept. So for the sake of seasoned adventurers and the navigationally challenged among us (I had a personalized chair at Disneyland Lost & Found throughout my childhood years), we hope the Rescue Balloon makes it to production someday.

You know that thing you've been thinking about? That one you know is a great idea just waiting to happen? Now's the time! Take it from Danni. Everyday you let that great idea slide is one day closer to somebody else grabbing that idea from you and making their first million. So let's get your idea patented and on it's way to market.

Love - Danni~
