They are custom, they are limited in number and are collected by quite a lot of people. The prices bump up so high as people are willing to pay the price to get these rare pieces.

Flash made a good point in another thread , in cold conditions you should avoid metal whistles , ya know why they don't make metal privvy seats ? I think I'd go with a Fox 40 or a Jet Scream .

Just to update, the Jetscream is still in one piece, so so far so good!

Blow that for a game of soldiers

I'll have a search and see if its available this side of the water.

Just had a hunt round. Looks like the're available from just about every sports outlet. I'll grab one and let you know what I reckon.

If you can get me a new in package one I'll give you a new P-51 and an Uncle Bills Sliver gripper.

I have one of these, sorry but I can't for the life of me remember the name. Most outdoor shops will stock it though. Robust as heck and come in a nice range of colours.

(Image removed from quote.)

Though as you can see the colour does wear a bit. $:-\$

Second that, very good whistle. Plastidip the end if you're going to Siberia. As for Fox 40s, they don't instill me with confidence. One broken one was all I needed.

Well mines very much like Gareths and it was a Life Venture

Neil · **Reply #110 on:** May 17, 2009, 02:02:59 PM

Well I got one of the Acme Tornado 2000 Whistles. Very, very loud! Bit of a weird trill sound to them that isn't pleasant but it'd certainly grab attention. They are bulky though

ALP, wander down to your local sports shop, they seem to be sold pretty much everywhere as they're a big hit with referees.

Ah, that's what it was called, I couldn't remember. That pic must be a little old now as almost all the colour is gone from the whistle. One thing to note about these is that they are really easy to over blow. A very gentle puff is all that is required to get the best note.

I have to say that the ones Neil passed out at the meet-up have a very pleasant set of notes to them. Thanks again for those mate.

I'm quite fond of mine as well.

A whistle is a very good survival and outdoor item. The sound carries much farther than your voice and doesn't wear out when signalling for help. I know www.rei.com carries several good ones. For a signalling whistle you want plastic for cold and pealess if possible as a pea can freeze up or fail. Here's a search on REI for their whistles.

I have a bright orange flat plastic whistle for the outdoors. Don't carry it on a key ring. It has an integrated clip for putting it on a belt or other strap as well as a lanyard. For any outdoor activity I consider it essential EDC. However I don't carry it otherwise. In town a whistle would be a security deterrent I suppose. Some women carry them. In the outdoors it is a good cheap emergency signal device.
