VERY LOUD

VERY LOUD. I tried it full bore inside and rang my ears. lol The dog ran and hid under the bed. :) Super lightweight, no pea to come loose. I just bought four of them and will grab a few more for putting into 72 hour kits.

Gotta love this whistle

Gotta love this whistle. Although not the loudest I've ever tried, it's orange, small and able to be used on a lanyard /zipper. What more could you ask for? They outta make one glow-in-the-dark. but man this rules. I'm a survivalist and highly recommend this. There's no reason not to have one.
