A female friend of a friend that often bicycles alone was looking for a product to alert passersby to an accident in case she crashed. She's often alone on forest preserve trails, secluded and sequestered. The Streamlight Key-Mate Flashlight Jetscream Whistle is now a constant companion in her travels. This Streamlight item #72009 contains a whistle capable of 122 decibels, and does not have a pea, so it works when wet. It's virtually unbreakable. The light is a fantastic 4.3 lumen tiny light with a run time of 96 hours. It's small enough to clip to a zipper or buttonhole or hung on a lanyard without it getting in the way. It's perfect to throw in your fanny pack while hiking or carry on luggage while travelling. Any survival kit needs a whistle and flashlight among other things, and this Streamlight offering is an inexpensive great choice.
