Even if you have fallen and broken a couple of ribs and hurt to bad to yell a whistle will make enough noise with a weak breath for SAR to hear you. Everyone has seen Titanic!

They are also good for signaling the start of an ambush or organizing movements of small troop units.

When i started hill walking about 1960 a whistle was an essential part of “kit” together with map, compass, torch, first aid kit and a bivouac bag as a minimum.

This was decades before mobile phones and if you were injured, or lost in fog or just in trouble, the emergency call was three blasts every minute, the response was six blasts, in the dark you would flash your torch.

Over the years i have had several different backpacks, the latest which is now my main BOB still has my original silva compass and whistle.
