This is a very functional and value oriented package. It gets the job done without any bells or whistles. I like the beacon and the probe... the shovel leaves something to be desired... it seems too small and ricketty... nothing more than opinion though. I like building a avi kit from scratch with all the bits and pieces that I like- you only buy it once and it last for years, get the good stuff.
