Acme Tornado. Need to have one on me for work. The thing is load as hell!

I give one to my gf when we go backpacking so, if she gets lost, hopefully I will be able to find her
8 trips with her so far, and she hasn't had to use it

Ever since that day, I honestly believe these things are useless, but I still carry one anyways....

If I'm lost and still within range of one of those I've failed as a man.
Usually have one or two stashed around

Cause doggo will stop on a dime at 150 yards with a single short sharp blast.

nah. I use dem for fun. Or for calling people to me. because I dont like/never do screaming. this is the "asian part" in myself.
>>941472
Yes, I use a fisherman whistle.
Some shit they use on big fishing boats.
Its light but LOUD AS FUCK, it can deafen you.
It's very useful, I tuck it in the right strap of my backpack. It's also good when you lose someone on the trail or they lose you. Or to call them without shouting like a retard.

But doesn't it scare away the animals? I like the animals. Especially the timid ones. There's nothing cooler than walking down the trail and then... bear!
>>941676
thats a pretty good point.
that being said my day pack has one attached to it that i use for fun when i have a little too much to drink at camp. it really adds a lot of life to my rendition of boys on the docks.
