You can whistle (can't you?).

[Bolt]

PSSSSSSSST!

 

 

Have you got a whistle in yor personal first aid kit?.

 

 

[Charlieh]

nope i have it in my right hand trouser pocket so i dont have to faff about in the first aid kit trying to find the whistle if i need it in an emergancy

[Tree Man Tom]

No, i haven't.

[Dave D]

carry it in the first aid kit on the back of my harness.

[Bolt]

HMMMMMM, I used to carry one back 'in the day' when I used to do foresty.

 

Since climbing I must admit I have lapsed. Not carried one for years.

 

Do you find them useful or are they just for emergencies?

[alex_m]

I have one in my pocket at all times.

Think it's an 'Acme' pea less - effin loud!!!

First aid kit on the harness and whistle all the time Never new when you need it

[Samuel]

first aid kit on the back of the harness along with a whistle next to it:thumbup:

[Bolt]

I am well impressed.

 

I have a couple of old favorites stashed on an ammo box somewhere.

 

The loudest is called a FOX 40 which can make your ears bleed.

 

I think there is another one that came out of a cracker.

 

And there is an acme thunderer that I used to use as an 'emergency stop' on the spaniel when I used to 'push up' hedges as part of my pheasant beating duties.

hve mine within reach, could get to it hands free if needed,,,

 

instructor hammered it in that it should be reachable with no hands,,, cant remember why but it made sense at the time,,,

 

it's part of my ritual/ OCD to check it

 

made sure i can blow it with my nose in case i had a broken jaw...
