Titanium whistle, one saved my life when I was incapacitated and freezing to death.

If you're willing to share, I would be interested in hearing your story.

I think they were freezing and somehow got incapacitated. Thankfully they had a whistle, so they blew into the whistle and someone heard it and came for the rescue. I think that may be the story.

Yes that's basically it. Not one of my proudest moments, so I'll leave it at that lol.

Were you floating on a door in the North Atlantic?
