Photographers get out and about fairly often. That's one of the attractions of the activity. We go night shooting, get off the beaten path, bush walking, we snoop around and follow our instincts. The storm whistle is made in the USA and is reputably the loudest whistle on earth. They are not expensive....$5.50 US or so and they should be as vital a part of your camera kit as a small first aid kit. If you fall and get injured, or get lost in the dark or the scrub....if you get threatened by creeps in a back alley...the whistle could literally save your life. If any members are interested in a group buy then let me know via this post and I'll arrange the purchase after getting a postage costing. The link to the product is below. If anyone is going to the USA in the near future perhaps we could arrange a pickup and save some dough.
Cheers

Yep, I’m up for one Matt, beats farting

Is this a group buy? If it is, put my name down for one. $5.50 USD for a possible life saving device, it's worth it.

Add me, not sure if I ever will use it, but for USD 5.5 who cares

Put me down for a couple Matt, but can we hold the group purchase for a week just in case the $A dollar improves?

I'm in.

Nice find.

I'll have one if you're doing a bulk buy Matt.

I love the optimism Glen!

I'm in.

For that price, why don't the airlines include them on their life jackets rather than the piddly things they have now?

I'll have one too.

Ever the optimist

Thanks Matt

I'm guessing it would be good for getting the attention of deaf models!

I personally believe that this whistle would be ideal for use in crowded bars when you are ignored by the person serving

Andre, I stopped work at about 7 this morning to have a coffee with my wife and watch the news, dollar was .65, had another coffee at 8 and it was .675! Of course last night I went to bed slightly happy we were at .70, that wore off quickly! Unusual times we are living in.

I'm in - what a deal!

two for me

I'm definitely in for about 5-6 - I have a few friends for whom these would be great gifts. I'll get final numbers back into this thread once I know a deadline for the order.

I notice that you can make alternate arrangements for the product packaging (ie without the blister pack/hard card, just in a bag with tag) - I wonder if that option would make the parcel smaller and therefore shipping a little cheaper?

And I suspect the Aussie dollar will go lower still. It has to - I've just changed a heap of foreign currency I've been sitting on for a year or so, so Murphy's Law says...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ETA order specifics - Could I please have:

2 x black Storm
3 x orange Storm
2 x black Windstorm
1 x orange Windstorm

Total of 8. Heh.

I think you've just solved the exchange rate riddle Glen - if we want the AUD to go higher we need to drink more coffee! I, for one, am doing my bit today - need it, am spending today and tommorrow in SAP design workshops

Matt - please pencil me in for two of these. Ta

They have workshops on how to be a sap?

Then I have done my bit as well. Just come back from a coffee!

It is all my fault - I don't drink coffee.

Cameron, maybe a coffee led recovery? Seems reasonable, especially after the recent cocaine bust, the money market guys will need something to keep them going


Andrew, I think everyone else is ducking for cover

1 for me please

Coffee led recovery would be nice, with all the stressed out people in the world coffee, chocolate and cigarettes will surely sell well.

Genius Glen!

One for me please. Not the orange one if possible (I want it for Rosanne and she has an aversion to orange)

I'd love one of these. Could be helpful if I ever fall overboard a ship. So, count me in maestro Chris.

(WTF!! It even works underwater.....Cool)

Two, if you please.

Whistle as you work?

Hi,
Could you put me down for two please.

Thanks
Chris

Last call folks before I lock in a number and start negotiating the postage price! This thread will close on Sunday midnight!

I might.

Could I get 2 black Stormwhistles please.

Put me down for 2 black Stormwhistles too please

Could you whistle up 1 whistle please, if I'm not too late! Many thanks! Ozi.

2 for me please ... if not too late.

rflower
Not too late.
You're down for 2.

What the hey.
Three sounds good for me.

I reckon it'd be a safe bet that if you ordered 5 or 10 more than listed, they'd go... I'll help you out if they don't!

paulmac
3 for you....you're now on the list.

Given that it is now after Sunday midnight everywhere in the world, is it too late to have one's name put down for two?

Been away all weekend teaching a workshop, only noticed today the bit about ordering by midnight Sunday...

Two yellow ones if available please. Not fussed too much if they're not yellow though.

Thanks Matt, I'll have 3.
Cheers,
Gerard

Reschsmooth
No problems!

Great find - two for me please
DebT

3 for me one of each colur, if I'm not too late?

Can I have 3x safety orange colours?

If not too late to add numbers in.

YI-P
Done.

Any update on the bulk buy?

Bugeyes
Early in the New Year is my plan. The Aust dollar looks like it is going to stay where it is for awhile, sadly.

Put me down for 2 Matt.

Three for me please!

Thanks
