After listening to people on this board I’ve decided it’s a good idea to buy my avy gear before in get in over my head living out in Utah, so thanks for that it makes sense that’s it’s better to be broke than dead just hope I can get some side work in this month to help pay for it, split board will have to wait until next winter but at least I can do some parkinghiking this winter as safely as possible, of course I will be taking an avalanche safety courses shortly after arriving in Utah. Anyways I’ve looked at all the mainstream beacons I could find in my price range(250$ to 350$) and I think I’ve got it narrowed down to these two models(but feel free to suggest other like priced models) Backcountry Access Tracker 2 Avalanche Beacon Backcountry Access Tracker 2 Avalanche Beacon from Backcountry.com Ortovox 3 Plus Beacon Ortovox 3 Plus Beacon from Backcountry.com Honestly I’m not a 100% sold on either model, I like the Tracker 2 for it’s simplicity, reliability and range but I also like the Ortovox for it’s advanced featuresdisplay that could come in handy for dealing with multiple burial scenarios and the “pin” system to mark already found victims.
