Review Title
By Robert Richardson
Ranked #176 - Avalanche Safety

There is a reason this is the de-facto beacon. It's intuitive, easy to use and just works.
At the same time, make sure you practice using it. It might seem like a piece of cake to find you buddies beacon in your back yard but when you in the heat of the moment and your adrenaline is pumping, the practice will pay off (and save someones life). Learn to use it well and you won't be disappointed in this beacon.
