I have the FOX40 and I am noticing a lot of redundancy on this site. Is it a good idea to have redundant whistles?
If you mean redundancy as in multiple whistles, yes, that's a good idea. On my hiking backpacks I attached a whistle on each of the main zippers. Why not? It is light, inexpensive and serves a practical purpose.
If you want inexpensive redundancy, then I recommend these fake Fox 40 whistles that are just as loud as the real thing:

Gotta go with the advice here about quality.
I got 2 of the ACR and one the bottom fell off out of the package,so I glued it back.So much for the 'name' brand whistle
EDIT-The 10 pack of fake fox arrived,they are LOUD!Louder than the ACR IMO (ears only,no db reading). Dont have a fox to compare it to,but seems solid enough and very loud,easy to blow.I call it a winner.But Im a whistle novice so bear that in mind,just my opinion.
