Remove the badge sleeve ( you can use for a fresnel lens) and add a ring or D-ring to the lanyard. Attach a whistle, a small flashlight ..etc.

You can keep it in the bag. But in case of emergency, you want those items on your person, so you have the means to wear them like a necklace.


Good counsel. I have a house key, Doug Ritter's e-Pico light and a Fox-40 whistle on a neck chain that I wear every time I take my dog for a walk. If it's not on my neck it's in whatever purse or bag I take with me out of the house.

Hardly notice it and I've got two essentials instantly accessible.
