INITIAL START UP
NEO
Performance and user friendly
> PROBING
Cautiously probe while
going further from the
pinpoint position. Always
probe with a 90° angle
to the slope.
> SHOVELING
Studies show that excavation is the most time
consuming portion of most avalanche rescues.
Shoveling is an
important point of the
rescue process and you
need to organize it
properly. The V digging
process is an efficient
way to optimize this part
of the rescue. As soon
as you reach the buried
victim, his transceiver
has to be shut off right
away.
