Where is the whistle on the sternum buckle? I don't see anything that resembles a whistle.

Can't say for sure but I know it is there because my grandson got a kick out of blowing the whistle on his back pack. We used our back packs in Yosemite. They are fine for day hikes.

I'm in the same boat! I just got this in the mail, but it doesn't make a sound, even though it indicates sound as well as need for Batteries. The belly of the rocking horse we got is sewn shut (no Velcro anywhere!), and it is clear that it is a hollowed out compartment, which is empty! The horse is definitely cute, it doesn't seem to be defective (at this point), aside from the missing audible component. We had planned this to be a Christmas gift, so we are unsure of how well-liked this rocking horse is. Am I the only one who didn't get the audible component and have a sewn-shut belly???

Probably because the buckles (and there are way too many of them AND they don't adjust well) could potentially come off is my guess. In any casee, all sorts of bells and whistles to this thing. Waste of money if you ask me. I regret purchase! Just get something simple :)

Yes, the whistle/cap is spring loaded and opens with a trigger. Release the trigger and it closes. No, it will not stay open.

I don't have the black buckle, but the chrome or brushed finish seems to be un-phased and I've hiked through central america with it.

There are 6 notches in whistle. You just twist to the setting that works best for your dog. Just like tightening a screw or loosening .

No, there's no whistle, and when I bought it there was no whistle attachment. Still, a nice kettle and I've been happy with it.

First, I looked at the end of the tang for any lines that might indicate that the pommel was not part of the full tang and could find none. It looks like one complete piece of steel from tip to hammer/pommel.I also did a continuity check using an ohm meter and it showed as a single piece of steel.

it does have the newly designed whistle which i think is much louder then the original that is on say the fire starter. The old whistle you had to actually try to make it work it seemed, this one is much much better in my opinion

There are two sets of plastic buckles. The upper set sits on the ridge line of my shoulders close to my neck. The lower set of buckles lie on the flat of my upper back toward the inside of my shoulder blades. The upper set are away from my backpack straps and the lower set are under the bp straps. I think the harness straps could be moved/adjusted inward a bit to avoid the bp straps but I havn't found it necessary to do so. The elastic straps are under the buckle and they cushion the buckle completely for me. For me this is a very comfortable harness and it keeps my eagle optic binoculars secure while hiking.

There is a button in the middle of the top of the controller that you push to turn on the whistle.

I think I have bought a genuine. If you google how to tell the real ones. Mine has every thing it should, but it doesnt have stealth on the buckle. Now, I bought another Ergo from REI, and that is an authorized dealer. My REI ergo does not have stealth on it either. I've heard the newer ones don't have stealth on the buckle. In conclusion, I think mine is real that I bought directly from Amazon.

Unfortunately it does not have a whistle.Please be very careful with the copper base. Our kettle had the base glued on and it fell apart after a month or two. We are very disappointed with the quality.

I do want a whistle..and mine does not. It is a very good looking one, but no whistle including the bird fits. The spout is too narrow. Wish I could have seen your note on time.

NO! This tea kettle does not whistle. The ad is misleading. It does not whistle and doesn't even have the necessary cap to make it whistle!

Sorry, not sure. After looking inside the whistle, I'd say perhaps chrome-plating over copper.Perhaps you could contact Acme, the manufacturer. It's a wonderful piece.

It does NOT whistle. There is a small hole in the lid with no other apparent purpose, and I tried to get it to whistle (simply out of curiosity, because I don't need it), but no sound. Otherwise a solid & useful kettle.
