People ask about recreating alone, as well as whether they can rely on SAR for avalanche rescue.
This is a good reminder: Chances are anyone who has to dispatch to you will get to you too late.
Your best rescuer is your buddy, both of you carrying:
transceiver
shovel, &
probe

He was buried 1.9 m deep.
He was unresponsive once recovered.
He was cyanotic.
Rescuers (members of the public) performed CPR for 10 minute…

Trip Plan
Training

In this particular post I was making a point about why travelling alone or relying on others to rescue you won't work for avalanches, but that doesn't detract from the necessity to have ALL THREE T's for every adventure!
