Those are my keys, I carry them daily. There are keys to my car and to my house. In addition there is a small, lightweight (but very loud) whistle made by Acme, and an LED pinchlight.
How can these be survival tools, you might ask?
Here's how: several months ago, just down the road in South Carolina, a woman drove her car off the road when she fell asleep at the wheel. There were no skidmarks on the road to mark the accident, and the brush-covered embankment her car went down swallowed all traces of her passage. She was trapped in her car for several days, injured and dehydrated, until she was found. If she had had a whistle on her key ring, she might have been found much sooner. At night, the pinch light might have been seen from the road. Neither of these survival tools weigh more than an ounce; you cannot tell they are even on your key ring.
Do you have a way to signal someone by sound or sight in an emergency, that you carry with you everywhere you go?
Why not?
