Avalanche Rescue Series: Avalanche Probing 101
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июл 2024
- This updated 101 video takes you through the pinpointing-or probing-stage of an avalanche rescue. BCA's Andy Wenberg illustrates the probing techniques used for companion rescue (when avalanche transceivers are used), spot probing (when no transceivers are used), and probe lines-usually performed by an organized rescue team. This is not a substitute for an avalanche class. Get educated before heading into the winter backcountry.

Excellent video, I watched it twice.Been envolved with this avalanche stuff since 1998 and I'm still learning something new every day.Liked the part about how to DEPLOY THE PROBE and I to have/own a stealth 300 probe but it looks like I have some practicing to do,lot of it,whear you hold the top end and then toss the rest of it away from myself and at the same time holding on to the 2nd section and then pulling on the 1st portion all at the same time which looks like a million times better,faster.Im sure glad BCA makes avalanche probes the way they do now days,their the best! AND FOR ANYONE OUT THERE THAT'S IN THE MARKET FOR A AVALANCHE PROBE I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND A 300 CM/ THAT'S 10 FEET LONG.THE SHORTER ONES ARE GOOD FOR SPRING TIME BUT DURING THE BIG DUMPS,THE LONGER THE BETTER.
Short and very understanding! I saw a few similar videos before but this is most informative. And I don’t speak English very well. Wish a good and safety ride for everyone!
very good video
very well done video..
125 meters down. Holy shit better get to digging!
I wish someone would design an airbag system attached to an 8 foot tether that can be deployed if caught. A tethered airbag would be much harder to bury than an airbag pack (especially in terrain traps) because it would act like a beach ball and have a lot more buoyancy so it would float in almost all conditions, and searchers could use the short tether to find you. You would know right where to go because a bright orange ball would be sitting on the surface, obviously you'd want to probe and confirm with a beacon, but I think something like that could save a lot of people. You only have 15 min to find and undig a person. Feel free to use that idea if you like it.
Wow good idea
Better create this before someone steals your idea!!
I realize it is kind of randomly asking but does anybody know of a good place to watch new movies online?
@Kenzo Tristen definitely, I've been watching on flixzone for since march myself =)
@Kenzo Tristen Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I really appreciate it !
what glasses are those? i like em
One thing that I came across that's always been in front of me all this time is when probing and using your transceiver also a person will end up with 2 different answers another words the probe reads out in CM and the (T4)reads out in meters, how can I compair the two (I don't know how to convert metric).
1m = 100cm
Great video- I've heard manpower in more than one BCA video. Humanpower would be more inclusive.
Anyone lost an eye while probing?
Just what I was thinking. Well, better than life I guess?
There was a really good article written by a burial victim a few years ago that described his sense of "relief" when he felt his rescuer's probe hit his teeth....
GOOD QUESTION AND POINT. BACK IN 1998 WHEN DURING MY LEVEL 1 AVY COARSE I ASKED THAT SAME QUESTION TO THE INSTTUCTOR,"WHAT IF YOUR PROBING AND END UP POKING THE PERSON'S EYE 👁️ OUT".THE ANSWER WAS,AT LEAST THE PERSON IS ALIVE!
That's what ophthalmic surgeons are for!
Great info!, no before you go👊
By the time the rescue team gets to using the probe line, most victims are probably already dead!
If I came across multiple avalanche victims, I would first concentrate on saving those with trackers as they purchased one because they valued their life and mine more than the person who did not. If I have time then I would search for the ones that done have trackers. Anyone that goes off piste should be equipped with all the gear, it's only fair for the ones that do have it because they would use their equipment to save your life so you should have the same courtesy and respect for others and yourself and get geared up with all the right gear
Same here -- but for a different reason: victims with trackers are just much easier to find! And in an avalanche, every minute counts -- after half an hour, less than half the victims are still alive, the rest suffocate!
