Abstract
This invention relates to a device to be used for tending straps and also to be used as a whistle. More particularly, this invention relates to a device for tending straps with a whistle integrated within the device where both the whistling and strap-tending functions are independently operable. While whistles may be included as individual pieces of gear they are often not available when desired. This invention facilitates the inclusion of a whistle by combining it with items designed to tend the straps on gear that is more commonly carried.
