How to wear your transceiver There are a couple key things we need to think about when putting on our transceiver It is highly recommended to wear your transceiver in the harness it came with. Transceiver pockets are cute but are not the most reliable way to make sure your transceiver stays with you at all times. We also want to make sure our screen is facing in to protect is from getting smashed. ... Make sure your transceiver is always attached to your harness. The idea of this is if we were to get caught in a secondary avalanche while searching the transceiver would still be attached to us. Wear your transceiver against your base layers. Easy to access but still protected by your jacket. You never want to have to take your transceiver off to change layers. Always, always, always have your transceiver on you (not in your sled or backpack). Have it turned on & in send mode from the moment you leave the parking lot until you get back. Our avalanche courses are booking up! If you want to learn more about safely adventuring through the mountains check out our schedule & join us for a course this season
