120 Decibels & A Colorful Cryptid Lanyard

I bought a super loud whistle, 120 decibels. It's part of my kit that I take with me for nighttime walks around the neighborhood here in the desert. There's a lot of wildlife out here, and some of it is big enough to eat people. While the whistle may not scare off a mountain lion or a bear, it'll at least wake everyone within a few miles radius. I needed a lanyard to easily carry the whistle, so Tae found this awesome "colorful cryptids lanyard" from Star Salts on Etsy.
