Emergency whistle
Keep it accessible and check that the intended user can blow it; an output rating does not guarantee a rescue response.

This is a compass price, not a complete map-and-compass basket. The required map must cover the intended route and escape options. Buying either object does not supply navigation skill. A route-specific map basket is deliberately unfilled. The dated offer uses the upper carrier-dependent delivered budget, not an Eircode quote. The checkout may offer a different carrier and price.
