Don't rely on the compass

PAHiker at REI on 11/05/2008
Rated: **
You can't really ask much for the low cost of this item, but if you ever need to rely on this item for survival, it may let you down. My compass doesn't work properly, and the flint doesn't hold up to use. The whistle is adequate and the compartment is watertight. I would suggest getting all these features in separate items. You'll pay a bit more, but the quality will be worth the marginal increase in cost.

Princess and the pea

This whistle has a pea in the whistle which jostles while walking. You won't notice it when you buy it, but after a while, it becomes very irritating. The product would've been perfect without that pea!

A good combination

A very decent product for the cost, has always kept my matches dry, the compass works (surprisingly), and the whistle is loud. All in all a good survival tool.
