Title: Whistle good, but compass & thermometer stink!
Product review: I thought "gee, a 3-in-1 combination, how great" - but when I got the whistle and messed around with it for a bit I found thata) the compass is pretty crappy - bubbles (or perhaps the liquid used?) prevented it from spinning freely. Given some shaking and multiple attempts it "sort of" worked - but wouldn't want to depend on it at all in a "real" situation.b) The thermometer is also kind of crappy - I didn't do an exact measurement, but it was reporting >5 degrees off of the temperature reported by 2 other instruments.The whistle portion is fine...Also - my bad for not noticing, but the product is ~$3 and it seems like the shipping is ~$4...so this seems like one of those things you *don't* want to order on your own (like I did without paying attention - thought it qualified for my "prime" shipping, oh well).-J
