Whistles

[Zack]

I had this titanium whistle custom made for me. It's 2-1/2" long with a ceramic glass breaker ball on the end. Enjoy!

Isn't that kinda like the one you sent me?  I wear mine on my st. christophers chain.

The new Fox 40 Sonic claims more than 120db:

I'm not sure how substantial a jump from the previous models rated at only 115 this is, as I imagine both would cause permanent hearing loss if you used it often enough!

This reminds me I have a storm whistle which fortunately I've not had to use  and I've never tested the 118~120 db claim maybe I'll test it at the UK meet up 


That said and TBH I treat mine as a safety device to be used sparingly when needed not something you would blast just for the fun of it  which BTW could cause hearing problems if used prolonged JMO  After all if I need to whistle just for fun I can just blow a few raspberries

If it's the fouryearold don't hold your breath mate. My girl is still running around with one i got from Neil very long time ago.

But on a positive note, they don't wear out   You just need plenty of patience

I always have a Fox 40 micro with me.  I've only needed it about 2 times in the last 10 years - both times to signal my progeny at a distance - but its good to have just in case.  As with most things we carry.

I like that keychain setup.

I picked up some Tops Whistles for the family while hiking and camping. http://www.topsknives.com/product_info.php?products_id=248


Found them somewhere online in a multi-pack that worked out good

I got a couple of ACME 649 survival whistles for our emergency bags. They are pretty OK for the total of €5 they cost



They are quite loud with little effort and their somewhat two-tone sound should be discernible from ambient sounds from some distance. I hope I never have to find out the hard way though!

[AlephZero]

Nice necro, firiki

Reminds me that I need couple good whistles... off to the bay of evil we go

[m47mu74nt]

Here is mine, stored on the backpack  right handle  behind some orange/silver reflective fabric

Small, but really loud!!

They sure do look like good solid whistles.

I hope you have better luck with ACME products than Wile E. Coyote does.

When I was a kid I had a tiny whistle, shaped like a σ but without a pee. Man, that thing had a defeaning, acute sound! Sadly, I lost it at some point and never found another one.

It's a whistle, I mean, what could possibly go wrong?!

Although I suppose I could choke on it or break a tooth or get a stroke while blowing or suffer permanent hearing damage...

I also have one of their Scout whistles, it's fairly good.

I think you mean a whistle with out a pea.  I hope most whistles you buy or use are 100% free of pee.

Heres the whistle I keep around. It is just an unbranded trinket I got from a product vendor.

Working as and with drivers I ocasionaly have to get the attention of somone about to leave the lot with a messed up order. Tested at 114db this is a mutch better option to yelling.

I have the same in red  somewhere, and sure it works pretty well
