The lightweight and compact Garmin inReach gives you access to two-way messaging as well as global SOS should you find yourself in need of help. On a lighter note, the inReach is great for finding your route back to the starting point, and you can share your location. Plus, there’s a digital compass.
The Garmin inReach Mini 2 also gives you access to weather updates where you currently are, but also locations along your route. In terms of battery life, expect to get about 14 days when using the inReach on the default 10-minuted tracking mode. If you switch that to the 30-minute tracking mode, you can get up to 30 days of battery life before a recharge.
Keep in mind that many of these features require a satellite subscription plan, which comes in at about $15 per month through Garmin.
Before you head out into the wilderness, snag the Garmin inReach Mini 2 while it’s $100 off. It gives you essential information like routing and weather, while also giving your loved ones peace of mind.
