Backcountry Access Tracker DTS Beacon

Simple beginner beacon

By Ranked #448 - Avalanche Beacons February 3, 2009

I used this beacon in my avalanche level 1 class and it is very intuitive. We went through a bunch of mock burials and it was easy to follow the signal right to the pack we had buried. It is precise so be sure to move slow when you are bracketing the signal. The harness places this beacon right above your hip and you barely notice it until you need it. When you do need it, it come out on a little cord that keeps it close even if you drop it (if your a klutz like me). For a simple beacon, this is the one to buy.
