A very lightweight option for backcountry hunting.

This does exactly what I needed it to do with minimal weight. Provides a peace of mind while solo backcountry hunting in Wyoming. It's great to throw in the truck for road trips with gaps in cell coverage.

I bought this unit to communicate with my wife while on a hunting trip to Idaho back country. I had zero issues with the unit, sends messages easily and holds a great battery charge.

First time buyer and user of the inreach mini 2

I choose the unreachable mini 2 because of all the satellite connections and possible additions of adding star link. It was easy to pair my device to my phone and the plans are affordable and I can suspend the service when I am not using it which is great. I bought to be safe while out overlanding and hunting. So it has been great. Charge last for awhile but I only power it on when outside so it is not searching for signal all the time indoors.

I bought this as I do a bit of solo camping, and it makes both my family and myself more comfortable. It is lightweight and does exactly what it needs to do.

Reliable Safety Device
on October 24, 2025

I bought the inReach Mini 2 a week before finding out that my hunting zone (D8 in California) had minimal to no reception. The ease of use to set up was pretty easy without having to use the instructions. However, I should have read them because I didn't realize I had to add a contact after the recipient had downloaded the app in order to receive messages. I assumed it was automatic. Nevertheless, I felt confident I could ask for help if need be and I was checking in constantly with family and friends since I was on a solo hunt. The only feature I did not like was the typing feature because there's a lot of scrolling up to up and down the alphabet to select and OK it to continue. Ergonomically, I would've preferred different locations for the buttons, but this awesome device is "mini" so there's not much place to place the necessary buttons. I can live with it. The battery left a very long time even in below freezing temperatures. I turn it on, check in, clip itb to my backpack, and away I go. There a free plans to choose from and even have an option to purchase insurance in the event SAR has to come and get you. I highly recommend this product to let your family know that everything is okay.

I have only tested it on walks, but the tracking and messaging are great! May use it when I ski this winter in Colorado.

Finally got to use this on a hunting trip. Loved the features it had with weather check, but I noticed it was very slow to update and check for new messages.
