Great episode overall for those wanting info on backcountry gear but IMO, it was a bad example to put the beacon over the jacket. Would've been better to put it under the jacket in case the jacket fell off in the craziness of an avalanche or if you just fall and tomahawk.
You're right. It is always better to put the transceiver on a layer closer to your skin. I personally put it on the outermost layer I'm wearing that doesn't unzip for easy access. Matt is just putting it on over his jacket for demonstration purposes in this clip.
Haha, I wasn't doubting you guys' knowledge of where to keep the beacon. I was just saying that I thought it was a poor example of demonstrating where to keep the beacon, as it could be misleading to people with little BC knowledge.
