something i never thought about....
heard a story on the radio the other day about a guy who fell down an old well shaft out in the woods at a jobsite, guy was stuck down there for something like 20 hour until the next shift showed up and couldn't find the guy to rotate out, so they went looking for him, turns out the guy in the well had a whistle with him on his jackets zipper, he was trying to use the whistle to alert his coworker to where he was at but had taken so much debris in the fall that it was basically rendered useless, he said that he was getting some sound here and there but not really enough to make it out of the well he was in, turns out the only way he was found was the coworker started hearing a bunch of dogs barking, this being a lumber companies land there's not meant to be anyone or any dogs on the property, so the coworker went to check it out and end up finding the well with the guy in it by following the sound of the barking dogs, the eventually got the guy out and never found the dogs but point being, when i look for a whistle i look for one that is unlikely to become clogged by snow,ice or debris.... maybe if they had a little silicon band that went around and over the holes, made something like they use on those vape tanks would work..... i dunno, but it seems like a big consideration if stuck in a tree well skiing or fall down somewhere and can't move.... has anyone found a solution for this problem?
