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.

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 doesn´t 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. _________________________ ...........From Nomad.........Been "on the road" since '97
