Mit,

x2 on the link to the training site. Too bad we can't have more of these around the more popular riding areas in CO. Or do we?

Really good training vid thanks. That Pieps beacon is sweet, I'm lucking that one of our crew has one. I have practiced with the Peips many times, just need to step up and buy one.

I have my sites set on a DTS Tracker, not bashing ANY beacon, but the avy course i went to last yr, Mr. Duffy said this was the easiest to use.

When i saw that vid, the 1st thing i told my wife was, these should be at all the lodges. big hats off to the sledshot boys

95% of our riding crew all use pieps DSP, easiest beacon to use for multiple burials.

The tracker 1 is great, except for multiple burials! it's a huge PITA with out a flagging feature.

Kudos to the guys from Sledshot.com, for sure. Someone posted another one of their vids the other day and from there I spent about an hour looking at several but I missed this one. I really respect that they are trying to make the sport safer for everyone.

does all new tracker 2 handel the multibles, or have a flag feature?

The Tracker 2 has a multiple-burial indicator, but it does not have the "flag" feature. You can still find multiple burials with the Tracker 2, just not as easily as the Pieps or Pulse.
