Checkout blutracker . com an iphone bluetooth and gps tracker sticker thingy with a bluetooth range of 400-1000 meters or so…

I’m not sure of all the details… especially close range accuracy…but it looks cool.
I’m also not related to the company in any way whatsoever.

If this is not a spoof and anybody buys it and actually uses it instead of an actual beacon, you will not live long. You would be better off using Jesus as your beacon. Cell reception will not be available, choosing who to dig up first...really?, and talking to the buried victim...there is a reason people die in an avalanche...they can not move! The iphone is great technology and all but leave it in the front country where it belongs. Leave the backcountry to smart people and not "smart" phones. This sounds like a spoof on iphones.
