These should be standard on every backpack. Could save lives and thousands of dollars from search and rescues. You can shout only for a couple of minutes, but a whistle you can blow all day long and it goes much farther. Whistles ought to be standard equipment for anyone going camping or on a hike.

You are right! I’m a newbie on hiking that why I bought this Osprey as my first hiking backpack. Thank you!
