Learning Curve
on May 9, 2022
Posted by: Pilgrim
I purchased an inReach mini2 for my through hike on the Appalachian Trail (AT). I have made several shakedown hikes and I took the mini2 on my most recent hike to test it out and become familiar with it. I had trouble determining if / when a message was actually sent and ended up sending a couple of messages twice. I like the fact that you can have preset messages and a contact list set for those messages. I look forward to getting more familiar and comfortable of the features. Overall the mini2 will be an asset to me on the trail from a safety perspective and will compliment the FAROUT APP on my phone.

Safety is Important

I've been doing a lot more hikes and longer hikes with girlfriends and wanted to add this to my pack to be safe. My husband was happy for me to have it too so he can keep track of the progress we are making when we don't have a cell phone connection.

I feel so safe!

I have SO MUCH peace of mind while I'm adventuring with my InReach! The peace of mind is worth it for this device alone! I've used it several times to send texts when I didn't have service in the outdoors, and it's amazing, and so easy to use (especially with the App you can download on your phone, and with the configurations you can make on the internet before your trip)! I'll be going to Colorado soon, and I will 100% bring this along! It's seriously takes a load off my chest knowing that I can reach someone in case of an emergency! Not only that, but the Safety Plan that I got really isn't outrageously priced each month, and that's a load off too! Before I bought the device, I was afraid the satellite subscription would be too expensive, but it's honestly really reasonable for how much peace of mind I have!! (:

Auto Track issues
on May 13, 2022
Posted by: DonL
With the Mini 2 set to Auto Track, the activity track recorded doesn’t contain many bread crumbs even with Activity Recording set to High Density. Manually starting tracking on the unit itself builds a breadcrumb file with 10 times as many points.
