things to carry
A pilot crashed on a NH mountain in fog yesterday. He survived, but his
17-year-old son did not. Rescuers were able to find him in part because he was blowing a whistle. I just added one to my flight bag. (http://makeashorterlink.com/?J3AA12BB8) --Gary |

Survival experts recommend that you wear it around your neck, along with your pocket knife and button compass. There are some people that will not leave the house without these things (like most people, I am not one of them so this may be a case of "do what I say, not what I do"). We have friends who have given each of their family members distinctive whistles and they use their whistles to locate each other in stores and parking lots. They were even able to keep track of each other at Disneyland last year. |

That way it's easy to remember where it is if it ever becomes necessary to use it. |

Next time I go to Disneyland I take some whistles with me. Just to see how shows up when I blow them, sounds like fun. -Kees. |

I have never been around them in public places, but that is what they say they do. They seem to think it is less rude than shouting for each other. Should I recommend that they stay at Alexis Park Inn? :-) |

Seems a bit more neighborly than blowing a whistle in a mall. Range is a couple of miles outside. Corky Scott |
