Testimonials

“In areas near fast-moving streams, high windy ridges and other environments where background sounds may prove conflicting to search efforts, the whistle’s unique sound characteristics insure clear distinction of rescuer signals and no mistaken perception of natural sounds… We will only be offering equipment that we have tested and that we believe is superior in its performance. It is our recommendation that your Signal 1 – Tri Power Whistle be a “must carry item” in our list of essentials for the outdoors.”

– Robert C. “Skip” Stoffel – President

“When conducting our research towards selecting a whistle that would best meet our needs, your product excelled in every respect. Not only are they designed for a readily distinctive and loud noise; they are manufactured for durability and consumer safety. The included multi-purpose fasteners and a distinctive school logo encourage our people to have them readily available. I want to commend you and your staff for a superior product that completely met the needs of our campus safety whistle program.”

– James E. Shaw – Chief of Police

“We feel that the whistle provides an excellent signaling device for any scenario the CERT member might find themselves in. It also gives them a sense of security and safety. We find that this whistle’s construction is superior to most, and the split ring and hook allow it to easily be attached to bags, packs or clothing. The CERT logo really adds a sense of pride for the members and identifies them with a great program.”

– Bob Jacobson – CERT Coordinator, Whatcom County, WA

“In a “blind whistle test” 4 out of 5 instructors said they felt the Tri-Power whistle was louder and indicated a true feeling that there was an emergency which needed responding to. We also sent it our extended wilderness courses on the river, ocean, and mountain environments. Instructors specifically noted it was easier to hear as whistle signal while descending rapids. As one of our safety protocols, students wear a whistle at all times during wilderness trips and I’m proud to say that this summer the Signal #1 Tri-Power whistle is our whistle of choice.”

– Michael Crowtz – Program & Technical Director

“The National Safe Boating Council would formally like to recognize Whistles for Life as the “Official Whistle of the National Safe Boating Council.” It is evident that you have out much time and effort to develop such a superior product and we’re happy to be associated with such an upscale company.”

– Virgil H. Chambers – Executive Director

“These whistles have been used under some very intense environments and venues, including indoor and outdoor swimming pools; lakes, rivers and streams; ocean environments; and in moving water conditions, and during all four seasons. Our instructors and faculty have used this whistle after being fully immersed and/or submerged and after a quick shake, the whistle operates the same as if it were dry. We are very pleased with the waterproof pea and the secondary chambers that create separate omnidirectional high-pitched sounds.”

– Gerald M Dworkin – Consultant, Aquatics Safety & Water Rescue

“We found your product to be well constructed, durable and produced an excellent sound. We have no doubt that your whistles prove themselves to be an outstanding search and rescue tool that will assist greatly in the lifesaving process. The Whistler Search and Rescue Society recommend and endorse your whistles as a valuable part of any safety kit for both search and rescue teams and any outdoor recreational enthusiasts.”

– Ted Pryce-Jones – Secretary

“As the Director of Security for Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, WA – I have included whistles within my security program. I provide the whistles with our company logo and the security department phone number imprinted on them, and provide to all employees that attend a security training event, as both an incentive and a thank you for attending. It has been a great program and the whistles are of such quality, that employees are actually now wearing them on their lanyards.”

– Donald Pilker – Director of Security

“Under less than ideal ambient noise conditions (wind and river noise) your whistle could still be heard when others were inaudible. When ambient noise conditions were optimum, the Whistle for Life whistle could be heard over longer distances than the other currently available whistles. In the final analysis, given the choices that OutdoorSafe Inc. has to include any one of the many whistles available in our survival kits, our choice is, and will remain the Whistle for Life.”

– Peter Kummerfeldt – President

“On behalf of the NASAR Board of Directors and Staff, I would like to thank you for allowing us to evaluate your whistle. It meets or exceeds our expectations. The whistles provided by Whistles for Life will be the official whistle for the National Association for Search and Rescue.”
