Avalanche Rescue Series: Avalanche Probing 101

very well done video..

One thing that I came across that's always been in front of me all this time is when probing and using your transceiver also a person will end up with 2 different answers another words the probe reads out in CM and the (T4)reads out in meters, how can I compair the two (I don't know how to convert metric).

Short and very understanding! I saw a few similar videos before but this is most informative. And I don’t speak English very well. Wish a good and safety ride for everyone!

I wish someone would design an airbag system attached to an 8 foot tether that can be deployed if caught. A tethered airbag would be much harder to bury than an airbag pack (especially in terrain traps) because it would act like a beach ball and have a lot more buoyancy so it would float in almost all conditions, and searchers could use the short tether to find you. You would know right where to go because a bright orange ball would be sitting on the surface, obviously you'd want to probe and confirm with a beacon, but I think something like that could save a lot of people. You only have 15 min to find and undig a person. Feel free to use that idea if you like it.

Anyone lost an eye while probing?

what glasses are those? i like em

If I came across multiple avalanche victims, I would first concentrate on saving those with trackers as they purchased one because they valued their life and mine more than the person who did not. If I have time then I would search for the ones that done have trackers. Anyone that goes off piste should be equipped with all the gear, it's only fair for the ones that do have it because they would use their equipment to save your life so you should have the same courtesy and respect for others and yourself and get geared up with all the right gear

125 meters down. Holy shit better get to digging!
