New batteries in the beacon, please

And let's use our avy eyes right from the start.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reminder.

Batteries were taken out and thrown away at the end of last season so I'd be forced to put new ones in this year.

Thanks for the reminder!

Thanks for the reminder, and don't forget to practice!

But my old ones aren't dead yet!:p

Kidding - changed 'em yesterday.

bought the 8 pack, fresh ones put in and extras in the pack

We put our "old" beacon bats in the remote control or in the milk frother thingie for coffee in the morning. With two of us using almost daily and regular bat changes we buy our bats at Costco and never have TV control problems due to lack of baterries.

Its fall so once again it's time to convice the nieghbors we are nuts by looking for squirrel nest in the woods out back. (using a beeping thing)

Thanks for the reminder.

Actually, I leave my battries in all summer. Because I do Nerfball transceiver practice during the summer too...

That was for you. :)

I had a friend with an internship at Energizer get me six boxes of 96 AAA batteries each (576 total AAA batteries). I think I'm good for the rest of my life (although I've given a substantial number of the boxes away).

Repacking my avie pack on Sunday, I did this very thing and tested it. Thought about putting this thread up, but then had no internet at home.

Good thing we have Shera!:biggrin:

Out of fresh batteries, so I took the ones out of the smoke detector and put them in my beacon.

I feel safer already.

Does my stud detector even need batteries?

no, when you point it at me it takes its clothes off....

I am here to sanctimoniously bump up this thread.

Good idea, I bought a beacon and put batteries in it, anything else?

Practice, practice, practice.......

The more you practice the more you build better skills with your transceiver...

Good transceiver skills means you'll work will high proficiency, when the shit hits the fan. You'll be a hell of a lot faster then those folks that haven't done much practice with their transceivers.

make sure their not dead...

bump for all the new snow in the PNW. Fresh batteries you mofos.

I have rechargeable batteries in my beacon, so I just throw em in the charger for a couple hours.

Oh, and don't forget to clip your toenails everyone.

You mean I can't just mix in one new ray-o-vac heavy duty AAA amongst the other two old ones?
