Early Christmas!

[RMKcowboy]

Since they all knew I'd probably want the stuff for our sledding "vacation" over the holidays, my wife and parents conspired and let me open up one of my gifts early- BCA Tracker beacon, Black Diamond Hollowpoint pack/shovel/probe! I was wondering if anyone else out there has this setup, and where they store what stuff. I'd like to keep the shovel on the outside pocket of the pack with the handle attached, but the zipper doesn't go up all the way and I'm worried it will come down on it's own while riding and cause me to lose my new shovel. There aren't any external pockets for the probe, so for now I have it stuffed inside. And where the heck is this audio pocket they say it has? I want to put my new MP3 player in there!

Nobody else on the forum has bought this setup from avalanchetools.com?

I do not have that setup. But could you get a none climbing carabener (spell) that you can get from Home Depot or some were like that. And clip it to your zipper and the top of the pack some were so you undo the bener to unzip to get the shovel out. Just a thought.

That's an option, it would be kind of a PITA but better than losing the shovel. I sent an email to Black Diamond to see if they had any ideas also, since both the pack and shovel are their brand.
