Pull the trigger

This is a pretty good deal. BCA has made great gear for years now and I would highly recommend their products. I have had this beacon for years and it is great. The shovel is light an easy to operate and the probe is well designed. However, do not become complacent after purchasing this stuff, as you need to know how to use it for it to work. Otherwise, this is the jam and you can not go wrong with this trifecta.
