Planning for success in the mountains starts at home and by building in redundancy for critical systems. The a common military acronym is PACE:

Primary

Alternate

Contingency

Emergency

This podcast episode dives into leveraging this framework to be more successful in the mountain environment. The avalanche fatalities discussion is intended to bring attention to learning what we can from the incidents. I am not here to second guess and say what "should" have been done by those people, their loss was preventable and the way that we can respect the passing, in my opinion, is by looking at the incidents and learning what we can from each one. That is the intention of the discussion.
