UIAGM mountain guide Joe Vallone shows us the indispensable items he packs in his bag whenever he goes into the backcountry. 'Backcountry' is any time you're out of the controlled ski area boundary, and your rescue is never guaranteed. If you go under a rope or in to an uncontrolled area, you're responsible for your own actions and your own self-rescue. So what do you bring? Avalanche rescue kit is in there, of course - a shovel, probe and transceiver. But what else do you need? Turns out, these few items could save your life (not to mention make your time out in the mountains just that much more comfortable!). Joe's items, plus any technical gear you need for your specific trip, should put you in good position to start your adventure. Get packed, be safe, and get out there. Thanks to the BMC Insurance for supporting Backcountry Essentials. If you're planning a trip make sure you have the right insurance to cover your activities.
