QUESTION: Hooks snapping on de-barb
"Wolfgang" wrote in
: "Scott Seidman" wrote in message . 1.4... You can yell as loudly as a whistle can, FOR AWHILE, assuming you're not injured..... Maybe. I remain skeptical. But volume and tenacity aren't necessarily always the key issues, anyway. High frequency sounds carry much better through background noise.......like rushing water, or wind in the trees. Birds figured it out years ago. In addition, a signal note, regardless of pitch, is much more likely to be noticed if it is of long duration. A whistle requires relatively little air flow. It's pretty easy to hold a note for thirty seconds or more on a whistle. Try that with a maximum volume shout sometime.......and half a dozen or so shouts like that will pretty much fry most people's vocal cords. Wolfgang tweet, tweet! Don't have to sell it to me. I'm with you. Pound for pound and dollar for dollar, in terms of safety equipment, a whistle is a hell of a deal. I also think that when you have a whistle, everybody around you is a little bit safer. Let's say you use a buddy system, one buddy busts a long bone descending a gorge-- now what. Without a whistle, there's a larger chance that the uninjured guy will have to hike back up and get help, or carry the breakee out of the gorge solo, but with a whistle there's a bigger chance that help might come to you. I'll keep promoting my whistle carry to newbies. Scott |

QUESTION: Hooks snapping on de-barb

Scott I think such a small device is worth the weight. My bootlaces weigh more than most whistles. Two people were drowned while wade fishing local flats this weekend. One non-swimmer was caught in the current and the second man went to his rescue. Every time I'm out fishing I see people standing near channels submerged to their armpits. I don't normally wade that deep in any water. But such events make me reconsider the purchase of an inflatable belt or suspenders. ---- Stev Lenon 91B20 '68-'69 Drowning flies to Darkstar Save a cow, eat a PETA http://web.tampabay.rr.com/stevglo/i...age92kword.htm |

QUESTION: Hooks snapping on de-barb
"Hooked" wrote in message ... "Ernie" NO_ wrote in message ... The real question should be, "How will one of those air horns work if one takes a spill and it gets soaked?" I'm sure those reads can't take a lot of moisture. I don't think that would be a problem. They are Coast Guard approved for boat use. Kmart has them for about $8. Ernie |
