This Beacon Rocks
By Anonymous

I just used this beacon on a 3-day yurt trip in Utah. It is super simple to use, which to me is of the utmost importance when dealing with a burial. No fumbling around. Luckily we didn't encounter any real avalanche burials, but we simulated a bunch of stuff and I definitely feel confident having this beacon strapped to my body.
