Backcountry must have!
This has been the most solid purchase I’ve made in a long time, takes the stress out of trying to piece together a good avalanche kit and everything is so compact and light I barely feel it on my back! Easy to use and quick to deploy in case of emergency and the Beacon quality has my friends wanting to use mine

Primo Kickoff
This is the most perfect way to get safe and prepared in the backcountry: a fantastic, intuitive, reliable transceiver; the right length probe, perfectly legible; the world’s best shovel. Period. All in one package!

Great avi set
I think this shovel is the best avi shovel on the market. Not the lightest or most compact, but if you actually need to dig, this is the one you would want. The probe is nice as well and I find the beacon to be very easy and intuitive to use.

Everything in one box
All the essentials for back country travel. The shovel design is great for shovel or hoe mode. With minimal practice deploying the probe is easy. Great upgrade from some older gear I had been borrowing from a friend. The beacon is great peace of mind. Be sure to practice its use. Our local Mt has a beacon park. Everyone should use it annually.

Great Beacon
Great beacon with a load of features for multiple burials, inclinometer, and more. Gets the Pieps app to keep it updated through your phone!

Best Avy Gear
The BD Guide has a few industry leading features. First, the locking mechanism actually locks hard in place. The flagging option works well and is very intuitive. And the searching signal isn't bothered by interference. Not to mention you can update the software yourself instead of sending it in each year.

Great set!
I'm new to backcountry access & this set caught my eye. I read a ton of great reviews and felt confident in my purchase. I've taken this kit out a few times, it feels light, durable & packs well in my bag. I also love how easy the beacon is to use.
