Avalanche Equipment Definitions?
I’m confused.
What is a: Avalanche Probe.
Please not a confusing defintion.
AND defintions for:
Avalanche Shovel
Avalanche Airbag
Avalanche beacon, transmitter
Avalanche Probe – Long, thin, collapsable pole used to probe the snow for a buried skier
Avalanche Shovel – Durable, short, lightweight shovel used to dig out a buried skier
Avalanche Airbag – Backpack with a parachute-type rip cord to pull if caught in an avalanche, designed to keep you on top of the snow. check http://www.abssystem.com/ for a good defenition, pictures, and videos.
Avalanche Beacon – Pretty close to a GPS. Worn on the body, in case you are buried in an avalanche, it transmits a signal that other people with beacons can use to locate you. They’re pretty accurate, usually within feet.
@Jim’s response – Thank you! I was trying to think of what I was missing but i couldnt remember it, and thats it! Its called the Avalung made by Black Diamond. Itts basically a back pack that pulls air out of the snow behind you and has a little mouth bite to breathe through kind of like a scuba breather. Check the site in my sources to see one.
