whistle - definetly a good thing to have. The sound carries farther than the human voice. You can blow a whistle a lot longer than you can shout. Very important things if you are hurt on the trail or stream side or in trouble on the water.
An air horn is a good thing to have also:

Here is a whistle that I have in my fishing vest.

Earlier this summer I was fishing a isolated high mountain stream with a friend whom I had not seen for about 20 minutes and was getting a little concerned that I had not run into him in a while. The standing next to the roar of the stream I heard a faint whistle. Then a minute later the faint sound happened again. It took me a couple of minutes to dig out my whistle that has been unused in my vest for several years. I sound it back to him and a moment later I heard a response. He did not know that I had a whistle. It was reassuring to know that he was okay and still having fun.
I have never seen this one before. Looks like an excellent item to have:
"sounds" like it is better than the one I have
