I have used this Garmin Mini in the backcountry weekly all summer and fall while monitoring big game for CO Parks & Wildlife. Most of the areas where I monitor require backpacking into places that have limited or absolutely no cell coverage and this device synced to my cell phone is often the only means of communicating with other individuals when I am in the field. That along with the SOS feature gets many people out of serious trouble every year in our state.

Worth it for the peace of mind!

While this is a pricy little device, in my opinion it's worth EVERY penny. From solo trips to recreational trips to guides trips with people I know very little about...having this at the ready has provided such peace of mind especially when leading others who are trusting me with their well-being out in the backcountry

Amazing little device. If you're not under open skies and attempt to send a message, it may never go through or at least have a really long delay. But that's pretty expected. I feel safer knowing I have this on me at all times. Plus it's super useful for getting weather forecasts when you're remote and waiting for a weather window.

My Garmin inReach has allowed me to plan my next adventure while already on one, remain in contact with family members during long and intense storms, and have a reliable way to cal for help if the need arises. The Earthmate app pairs nicely and makes using this very simple and user friendly. I would highly recommend this for anyone looking to do any adventures in the back country, whether they or just for a day or even for a few months.

Safety in comms

This device has been absolutely essential on both solo and team missions. I have been using it on backcountry skiing for people to follow me when solo. Paragliding for pick ups and again safety following and on climbing trips for safety and communications if I have been out too long. I also communicate with office when guiding. There is service model for all tiers of users. Also light enough to bring on all missions and battery life if enough for days!

The screen you navigate though is TINY. You need an apple phone to use the app which comes along with this, which for shorter adventures is fine, but I hate being tethered to it outdoors. It's nice as a backup, I think I prefer the Inreach Explorer if looking for a completely off grid experience with maps and text capacity without the need of your phone.
