what kind does everyone use? And where is a good place to get one?
Get a beacon that you can understand, easy to use and I dare say PRACTICE using it. In my opinion all the beacons work, use the same frequency and will work together. OH! and take a Avalanche class, the best beacon will not save you, your riding group has to do that.
Definitly the more you practice the easier it gets. Also when one of your riding buddies gets buried beacon operation becomes second nature, and not try to learn as your buddy is dying. As stated challenge your riding buddies and find a hidden beacon. looser buys.
And your buddies are practising too. (that's the important part when you are the one buried).Hey the loser buys thing i didn't think of... Good idea.. But as he stated you can never practice to much when you think about the fact it could be your's or your buddies life at risk...
