Just wondering if you guys could post some real world experiance on av gear that you have used in the field and really liked or hated. I would hate to by a av pack and find out the cord doesn't work first pull in a avalanche or the probe I bought is to cheap and won't push through the ice and snow. Beacons also aren't cheap I want to make sure when i get one that it has sufficent range. Anyone ever bought a car starter that claimed to work for 2km and bairly works 10 feet from the car
