[QUOTE="John M BUNMAN, post: 1623603, member: 43801"] **NEVER LEAVE HOME W/O IT** 1. One piece of SAFETY GEAR that Everyone should add to their Kit, is the GARMIN IN-REACH Satellite Communicator. It is an essential item for your group or yourself if you fly solo. My wife picked one up for me several years ago because I venture out solo most of time. It’s not that she was concerned about loosing me, it’s more “The Insurance company doesn’t like to pay if they can’t find the body” ;) Cost-Around $400, base subscription $14.99 a month. It’s an amazing tool for several reasons. On my base plan it allows me to send 3 different pre-set messages w/o charge. I have, 1-Checking in all is well, I send this at the Trail-Head or the point at which I leave the pavement. I then send it again every couple of hours. When she opens the text on her phone, it brings up my location and a Satellite Picture of my location! My other two pre-sets are Delayed but ok & Off Trail heading home. She can also open my my account on her computer and Track Me In Real Time if I have it on and tracking. You can also text like a 16yoa, but on the base plan you will pay$$$ THE GREATEST FEATURE of course is the SOS button. It will activate SAR with the location of your SOS. The huge advantage over the old SPOT is the ability to communicate with SAR. You can give them critical info that will greatly assist their response, ie: CPR in progress, air extract required. Broke my leg but I’m stable. Rolled my Raptor, pinned in vehicle, require JAWS OF LIFE for Extraction. You can set the device to ping your location every 30min, every hour etc. in case you forget a sit-rep. There are other features and new features I’m sure, mine is several years old, that you tech-savy guys can take advantage of, I’m doing good to turn it on and activate the tracking ;) I NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT [URL]https://www.garmin.com/inreach[/URL] [ATTACH=full]166217[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]166218[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]166219[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
