I would recommend this to anyone going in the backcountry. It's worth every penny. It has given me so much peace of mind when backpacking places out of cell service. My husband has, also, used it on hunting trips to notify me of a kill so I could meet him to pack it out. Appreciate the ability to send customized messages.

Peace of mind in the backcountry

I've found the operation of the device intuitive and the companion smart phone app makes it even easier to interact with. My wife appreciates the routine check ins when I'm on a long MTB ride or solo backpacking. I've made it a point not to go anywhere in the backcountry without it.

Non-negotiable

Non-negotiable gear for any mission in the mountains without service for more than a few hours. I always have mine in my pack or even use it in the car at remote trailheads. Gives my family peace of mind and allows them to track me when I'm on a speed-record attempt on a big route!

A necessary gadget when you are alone in the woods!

I strongly recommend Garmin inReach Mini. Im using it always when I go out, trout fishing, mushroom hunting , snowshoeing etc. I always stay in touch with my family and they know where I am. I have not use the SOS button yet, and hope not to use it at all, but it gives you peace of mind to know that in need you will get help anywhere you are.

Really struggled to hold a signal with this device

Purchased the inReach Mini to take along during day-long hikes, trail runs and, of course, multi-day backpacking trips. The first of these devices that I received from Garmin had trouble connecting with the Iridium satellite network and almost never could find a GPS signal. I exchanged that device for a second inReach mini, which performed better, but was still largely unreliable when it came to finding either Iridium or GPS signals; particularly under forest canopies or within the mountains. Because this device could not reliably function as an emergency contact unit, I had to purchase another more expensive unit to provide the reliable connectivity I sought: a Garmin GPSMap 66i

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.

Great gear for safety if needed climbing mountains.

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
