I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Love the Tracker S Avalanche Beacon

The Tracker S Avalanche Beacon by Backcountry Access (BCA) is a fantastic choice for backcountry users. This beacon is a simplified version of BCA's popular Tracker 3 Transceiver, making it more accessible to a wider range of outdoor enthusiasts. Despite its simplified design, the Tracker S still delivers outstanding performance with its reliable triple antenna system, providing a search range of up to 50 meters.

One impressive feature of the Tracker S is its Signal Suppression mode. This mode allows users to suppress a signal once the fine search has started, enabling them to quickly move on to the next victim in multiple burial scenarios.

The Tracker S differs from the Tracker 3 in two ways. Firstly, it does not include the motion-sensing auto-revert feature. Secondly, its software can't be upgraded. These are the only differences between the two models.

Product Details:

  • Simplified version of BCA's Tracker 3 Beacon, perfect for backcountry touring
  • Triple antenna system ensures a wide 50-meter search strip
  • Big Picture mode for locating multiple burial signals
  • Signal Suppression mode disregards closest signal once located
  • Digital display with arrow signals and distance readouts in meters
