>>2542805This is my trusty, rusty whistle that's been in my possession and /out/ with me since the very early 1990s. Made in Taiwan, stamped "OFFICIAL WHISTLE."
>Boy Scout treks and jamborees>week-long AT hikes>Grand Canyon hikes>Zion, Arches, Bryce Canyon hikes>minor hikes in Maine, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, WV, NC, SC, others>backcountry camping, fishing, huntingNever been used in an emergency and I still bring it anyway because I always go prepared. It's why I'm still alive at age 40. Will you be alive at 40 or will you die because didn't see the need for X, what the fuck do you need Y for, gotta get my pack weight down, etc.?
