fox40world.com) are as loud as a power mower up close (103 decibels) and audible

up to a quarter-mile. The pea-less design works when waterlogged. Warning: Loud

alerts require full lung capacity.

DIY: A practiced talent can easily reach the upper-90-decibel range with a two-

fingered wolf whistle. (The world record is an air-horn-like 125 decibels.) Practice it:

Tuck your lips over your teeth, insert two fingers into your mouth (angled inward),

position your tongue behind your lower teeth, and exhale sharply.

Reflection

There’s a reason survival mirrors are a recommended part of any survival kit. Using

just the power of the sun, stranded hikers can flag down help from miles away.
