EPIRBs for climbing (rock) 12-Oct-2015 At 1:24:03 PM BBSR
Message
In resposne to GFDONC asking for recommendations on PLBs to be posted in this thread (pretty sure he was meaning PLB, not EPIRB)

"I'd like to hear recommendations from the group about the advantages/disadvantages of the EPIRBs currently on the market (in that thread pls)."

I have a RescueME PLB1 that I bought a couple years ago, as it is very small and very light (116g). Part of this seems to be that it only floats when inside an included neoprene pouch. Since I don't really care about it floating, I ditch the pouch and have a very small and light PLB.

There are various small differences in features, but the standard should cover the main features, so for me simply having a PLB that I am willing to take seems the biggest feature.

Haven't activated it... I don't carry it rock climbing generally, but I can see some situations it could make sense. For bush walking etc, I carry it most of the time (it is so small, why not).
