Truthfully a good whistle is extremely important when in the woods. If injured a good whistle can cut hours off the time it takes a rescue team to find you. Also it takes less effort to blow a whistle than to yell for hours.

I have 4 whistles - Storm, Fox-40 Classic CMG, Acme Metropolitan, and antique German Wehrmacht 1940-s wooden pea whistle. The last one is the loudest!

I like the fox 40 whistle.

I have a Wind Storm emergency whistle. Deafeningly loud. Works out, on top and under water. Excellent whistle and very inexpensive. Great comparison video!

storm all weather best. 130 decibels, easy blow, fits full hand, works under water, loud enough to be heard during a fire fight while wearing ear plugs.

I saw that one and almost picked it up. Thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching.

Great topic Will. Like you mentioned; it's one of those things that you don't even think about until you need it.

Awesome video! We have had our share of whistle fails so this is a great video in our book my friend!

Great discussion on whistles!

Thanks John. I'm trying to include a whistle in each of my "kits."

I recently bought the 2-pack marine whistles for 3 bucks. At first I thought they were crappy, but once I started really blowing on them, I realized they're pretty good for the price.

I'd like to get one of those as well. Thanks!

I have a Fox 40 whistle. One of the advantages it has is the fact that it's peerless design allows for easy drying of water in case it is submerged. Also it is very, very loud. No wonder coaches prefer it, its noise can (and it does) stand out from ambient noise sources in a place like a stadium or arena, so definitely it can be used in a rescue or survival scenario.

if you redo this video, try recording the whistles outside and cutting them in

If you mean the Fox 40, I got mine from Amazon. There is a link on my webpage. If you mean the orange one (That I ranked last) I got mine at EDCdepot, but they are no longer in business right now.

That makes sense. Thanks!

So far, I've had to buy four of the Jet Scream whistles. My family keep taking them 'just in case' and, since I'm out dog walking in hilly country every day, I figure I may need one before they do with the exception of a grand-daughter who is a nurse and walks to and from work in London at odd hours. Jet Screams cost more than many others, but certainly attract attention when blown so I believe they are worth the money. All in all, good review. Thank you.

Nice video but curious as to your blowing technique. Did you block the spout with your tongue and build up air pressure before blowing? This is especially important with pealess whistles. you might have better results

I'm a Storm Whistle carrying guy in extreme outdoor weather conditions but when I'm at work, I perfer to carry my 3 tube Noopel whistle around my neck on a lanyard because it is more comfortable with the seatbelt harness connected around my chest whereas the Storm Whistle is uncomfortable when the seatbelt harness is connected while driving.

Thanks, interesting video and Take care.

Funny stuff. My pets went crazy when I put the video together too.

Hmm, I should train my birds and squirrels like that. Already got one squirrel to take a peanut from me, and cardinals will watch me shell peanuts for them (they have trouble with the shells). I guess they have me trained, lol!

I have the 4th one(the harmonica one) and it's very loud

Bonjour So which one is the best ?

Thank you

I think this originated from EDCdepot, but the site is down for now.

Thanks buddy

Nice video, thanks! I've been wondering, why mini travel tasers don't have a built-in alarm which could do something like 200db. just a thought.

Can't go wrong with the Fox 40. Simple and indestructible, and small enough that there's no excuse not to carry it.

Nice ... You just pointed out something else I don't have.

That's cool

I just bought the first whistle

My scitish German Shepard went nuts in the other room, haha. The Fox 40 is great for couches because it prejects the sound away from the user. For prolonged use, it will save your hearing compared to others. I have a two tone flat one. I need to dig it out of storage. I think it may be wth my fishing gear that I have not used in a decade, haha.

It was a gift.

Thanks bud.

The first one I got 50 of them for about $2 free shipping

I got a whistle just like that yellow one

I like it. :)

THANK U this is a good vedio

I own several of the types you tested in this video. I disagree with dismissing the pea wissel, its effort versus Db's trumps the others.

You put the no-name tube in 6th place but it was the only one to overdrive your mic to clipping. Seems like it was the loudest then.

One problem with whistles with peas is that the pea can freeze, rendering the whistle inoperable.

I have one by ACR (?) orange in color writen on is " meets USCG requierments " what ever that means got it in an MRE packet

Incorrect, The Tops whistle sells for $16.95. And you left out the Storm/ wind storm whistle .

Ha! All you need is another piece of gear. Take care, Eric.

Well I don't own whistle because I can whistle pretty loud my own god given equipment :D 200-300 meter and you are going to hear me for sure.

I'm looking into purchasing a dog whistle.

wheres the storm whistle

WERE CAN I FINDE #6

I just have a Train pea whistle :D

You didn't research whistles much which was obvious when you said the pea design is frowned upon, because it can accumulate bacteria as opposed to the real reason that it can clog or freeze.

The name of the first whistle is 'willow whistle '

WARNING : Do not Blow JetScream in flat position it will damage your own ears , always go vertical these are fu***g LOUD

i read the jet scream puts out 122 db

which is more responsive to training birds?

Try the STORM.

I have a Wind Storm as well, but honestly I've rarely ever taken a whistle on any hike, since I know how to use a blade of grass just as easily, and it's almost as loud as the Wind Storm, easily as loud or louder than most "Survival" whistles.

Storm whistle all the way. Especially for water use

lol

The gum colored P-Shape was definitely the best. I'm a whistle enthusiast and I know whistles. Your video was mediocre.

Whistles just aren't a part of our modern culture. People would wonder what that sound was and then go about their business. Don't count on anyone responding to an emergency via whistle alert, for sure.

Should be have ended with an Aztec Death Whistle 💀😂

my whistle is soooo so loud that can be heard from uranus........!

Dude, step away a few feet from the mic when you record

JESUS CHRIST THIS IS SO LOUD IM LAUGHING

Lol what’s next? The survival cow bell? Yeah I could see that being that new useless “survival gear”. Kinda like the pocket signal mirror. What a joke.

BTW dogs cant stand the sound of it
