Thanks a lot, Taurus! Experience like this in the tough environment is always valuable. Now I know what to take with me to freezing areas.

I have found history of the JetScream Whistle which is not presented on Ultimate Survival website. http://www.vtarmynavy.com/jet-scream-whistle.htm .
I think I will purchase ACR and later JetScream and then decide which will be carried every day.

ACR definitely looks like a company I should add to my list. Their combo of mirror and whistle looks great(I guess this is what you described, Nomad - http://www.acrelectronics.com/hotshot/hotshot.html ). It has also a cylindrical float so it doesnīt sink.


Yes that is the one I recommend. Also, consider the tone of the whistle as well as its volume. Older folks have a hard time hearing the high pitched ones. We tried several with a group of folks and many could not easily hear the high pitched, but louder whistles.

Nomad: You are right. I havenīt thought about this. ACME 636 Tornado Slim Line is reportedly "very high frequency" whistle.
