Vargo Titanium Emergency Whistle | 100+ Decibel Pealess Whistle, Ultralight .1 oz. (3 Grams) | Backpacking Survival Whistle with Reflective Lanyard | Hiking, Outdoors, Emergency Kit, T-416

Great whistle to have on you while hiking or when you’re alone in unfamiliar places. Not a bad price.

I’m in the mtns with my dog, who loves to investigate the surroundings. He normally returns when I call, but on windy days this whistle brings him back immediately.

I wanted to have a whistle for everyday carry, on my keyring. This fits the need precisely. I have a decibel meter app, on my phone and tested this to 100 decibels. I recommend this if you want an EDC whistle in case of emergencies.

Previous review: No matter how hard I blow this whistle, nothing, not even a tweet.I'm coming back and giving Vargo 5 stars for getting back in touch with me, sending me a new whistle and providing a mailing label so I can return the whistle so they can figure out the problem (if it's not just me!).

This whistle should be loud enough if I run into trouble on the hiking trail.

I bought this whistle to attach to my PFD for kayaking. Bought a Fox whistle that didn't work at all. Decided to try this one. My dogs ran from the room. It's LOUD.As with most (all?) whistles without a ball, you have to put your lungs behind it. But when you do, you will deafen your neighbors. And yourself. You WILL be heard.It comes with a nice long lanyard. I attached that to another lanyard inside my PFD pocket. nice long reach so I don't have to blow on a whistle clipped in my armpit or shoulder strap or someplace else awkward and unreachable when you really need it.It's titanium, so I expect it will outlive humankind.If I lose it or something, I will definitely buy another.

This is really a must have for anyone that spends time off the beaten path. My husband wears it when out hunting alone, & we both have one when hiking.Hopefully will never have to need it, but could be a lifesaver if some gets lost or hurt.

Everyone should have one of these. If you have a Mother, Sister, Daughter, Girlfriend or Wife or children, or all of the above, you should get one for each of them. In an emergency, you will be glad they had this small whistle. No tiny ball, just a study whistle that isn't going to get in the way and is perfect for the keychain.It has been proven that a whistle attracts more attention and a yell for help. Everyone looks to see where the whistle sound came from. This is so easy to carry or even around the neck or on a bracelet. It has a good look so it won't distract from your clothing or other things, important to some people.This is the perfect gift and will last them a lifetime. Better yet, if an emergency comes up, it might help them live a longer lifetime too and that is priceless.
