Are you sure you're not giving your partners ideas?

I use the smitty for convenience. To aleviate the loop problem I took a ring off one of my old whistles and put it on permanent. The I clip the lanyard to the ring. I also have a spare smitty and a noose in case of emergency in my bag along with spare whistles.

I use a smitty. Because I once had the smitty loop break, I keep a noose with whistle in my jacket pocket....available at least for the first half. However, all the shirts I have now have a much more robust loop than the earlier shirts. I also have 3-4 backups in my bag.

Nah, one is a cop. He'd probably just shoot me to save himself the time and effort.
