I'm SO glad that someone mentioned the Rescue Streamer...I couldn't remember what it was called!

Does anyone know...the LED version Tom referred to, is that the $1500 bit that's on the front page of the website? Or possibly a military only item?

Forgive my ignorance of such things, but how much value does a whistle have in the middle of an ocean? Not going to help a helo crew, or make a sound over a ship. For the size and weight, why not include it, but how much practical application would there be?

Just looked at Glo Toobs when the Krill lights were mentioned. While the Glo Toobs are much smaller (possibly negating the usefulness for this application) the new Glo Toob Lithium models run on 123's.

As an aside, I have found that chem lights on a break away lanyard are ideal for keeping track of young children playing at the campground after dark
