NedFoss2" Loud Bear Bell with Whistle for Hiking, 3 in 1 Hiking Gear Solid Brass Bear Bells with Silencer, Emergency Whistle and Carabiner for Survival, Biking, Fishing, Climbing

We've recently moved to the mountains and I walk my dog a lot, sondtimes when it's dark in the a.m. and p.m. My neighbors said to get a bell and/or whistle because "bears don't like to be surprised". I don't want you be surprised by a bear...so I've armed myself with this purchase. I must say the quality of the bell and whistle is excellent. The pieces are weighty ( not heavy) and the finish looks expensive. They come with a convenient caribiner- like ring to hook them into a belt loop or fanny pack. The bell sound is very Zen,cand the even whistle is a nice sound ...not ear- splitting. I have only carried it for a few nights so I can't really say yet if it works...but as long as I don't see bears I'll be glad to give the credit to this duo. Nice purchase.

Made well, durable, sound is good. Attaches to hiking backpack easily. Even came with an emergency whistle. Thank you. Great product.

I purchased this bear bell to install on the handlebars of my mountain bike after a surprise encounter with a sow black bear and her cub while mountain biking one morning. The bike allows me to cover a lot of ground quickly and, apparently, quietly. I had a rattle on my bike and I pulled off on a short, dead-end spur trail to investigate and fix the cause. Not long after I dismounted the mama bear came charging over a nearby knoll in my direction and stopped. She must've been feasting on the ripening wild blackberries in the clearcut I was in. Then I heard a noise over my left shoulder and I turned and saw a bear cub skidding down a fir tree. I suddenly realized I was right in the middle. Thankfully when the cub reached the ground it ran off into the woods, followed several agonizing seconds later by the mama bear. I'm hoping it was just a one-in-a-million encounter, but I installed this bear bell on my bike to, hopefully, avoid any more bear encounters. It rings constantly when I hit bumps along the dirt trails. It has a pleasant sound that doesn't get annoying.

The bell isn’t very loud

Perfect set easy to hang on the leash or backpack. However, I’m told bear sprays might work better as loud noise or whistle may make a bear scared and aggressive? I’ll carry it along but suggest getting a spray (too?)

I have been using the bell on my dog collar so my dog will scare off Bear and deer so she won't go chase them. well the leather didn't hold up and I have lost the bell. the bell was loud and I was happy with that.

Used it recently during our walk in the Porcupine mountains. Luckily we didn't encounter any bears. It was nice to have ... gave us a sense of security knowing we were warning any animals.

High-quality Bell. Came with several money options, but the belt clip is very convenient and well-made just walking and going about my daily business keeps the Bell ringing.

Bell and key ring - carabiner are solidly made. Bell is loud, and has a clear tone.The bonus whistle is lightweight pot metal, and has a lightweight split ring - but lightweight is good for hiking. Whistle is loud.

Fits in my pocket.

Great products!Very nice sound

Belle qualité

La clochette a un beau son très agréable et assez fort pour avertir un ours sauf lorsque nous sommes près d'une rivière dont le courant est bruyant. C'est là que le sifflet devient intéressant. Le sifflet est assez impressionnant et il est très léger. Le son est puissant et strident ... Je suis très content de cet achat.
