lorne 0 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Powder Possee - Live it up! OK, so the beacon thread/topic was good, i got some good info from that.(thanx all!).. how about the rest of the gear...?? Shovel, Probe, Beacon.....Combi kit? - ie - lightweight backpack-shovel-probe kit - any recommendations on whats best? If anyone thinks they got the best kit then can they list it for us? Talking shovels - I get from some that plastic is inaffective (time consuming) & from others that metal is to bulky....who's got the best shovel? Are there any other emergency tools/gadgets that you can use in case you take a dive in an avcalanche? - I seem to remember seeing on TV along time ago - a gas, quick inflating baloon which was supposed to keep you bouyant in the event of being in an avvy, and also reading something about a ribbon? (used for locating after an avvy burial)to keep you high in the snow.. Any reports or anyone hear anything on these items and their affectiveness? Also Any other good accessory shopping sites other than the backcountrystore.com? cheers Lx Link to post Share on other sites
