Backcountry travel calls for wearing a good beacon. I just bought a pair of Ortovox Patrollers because I like the small size and features. All modern (i.e., digital) avi beacons will follow a flux line and get you close to the transmitting beacon, but do your research for the one with features that appeal to you. Anyone will tell you the best avi beacon is the one you practice and get proficient with.

There some beacons that are better than the BCA Tracker; however they are considerably more expensive. I have a Tracker, and as long as you know how to use in a multiple burial situation, it is, IMO fine. I've tested it at the beacon park and it works well, as long as you know it's limitations. Bottom line, the Tracker is a great value.
