When on an expedition, mountaineering, or climbing it is always sensible to carry equipment that can direct and alert others to you, if you find yourself in distress.
Mountain rescue services recommend carrying a whistle and torch in these situations. Whistles can alert rescuers to your position, when using the recognised international distress signal. A strobe flash can be used even in poor conditions and will be seen from a great distance.
The Life systems range of Whistles and Torches are designed for such purposes.
