The Curated Take

By the Expert Community

I purchased a Garmin In Reach Mini last summer because I regularly do hikes, runs, and camping trips alone with my dog in areas without phone service. I wanted to be able to send a message or waypoints if I ever needed help, whether that's medical help, car trouble, or anything else. I have used it several times since then both in safety situations where I needed to know where the closest auto shop was, and in non-safety situations just to communicate to my partner where I was so he didn't worry about me being off on my own. I think it is an incredibly useful tool, and it's made outdoor adventures and camping trips all that more safe and easy to plan. It does require a monthly subscription, which is a turnoff to some. But I only pay $11 a month and still get full use of all the features.

Ideal for
  • Small size makes it easy to pack on any trip
  • Easy to use and send messages and waypoints - especially when connected to a phone
  • Long battery life
Not ideal for
  • Requires a monthly subscription
  • Hard to send longer messages without phone connection
  • Requires some preparation and pre downloading of maps

This compact satellite communicator helps you keep home with you when you're off the grid adding peace of mind to every adventure, without adding weight to your pack.

Key Features

  • Global satellite coverage keeps you connected when cellphones can’t.
  • In an emergency, send an interactive SOS message to our coordination center.
  • You can still connect to the ones who matter, even without cellphone coverage.
  • With TracBack® routing, find your way back if you happen to get lost.
  • Expand the capabilities of your inReach device by using the Garmin Explore™ smart-device app.
  • Stay on adventures longer with up to 14 days of battery life in 10-minute tracking mode.

Came to the site again (with previous good experience from other departments) in need of a tent and footprint-- Elizabeth was great with recommendations and offering more options that stayed within the budget but weren't on the radar to begin with. That and helping with other recommendations generally for hiking/camping, she is greatly appreciated!

She not only answered my questions but also gave great advice. The article she sent had amazing tips and was easy to read. She was super friendly and everything she typed seem to have a smile attached. I have already recommended this site to a few people because of her.

Was looking at a camp stove and saw the Eureka Sprk+. Found a lower price from another site but Elizabeth price matched. She was very responsive and professional. I was able to get an awesome deal. Reach out to her if you’re shopping for something!!

I am planning a 2024 thru hike on the Appalachian Trail (hiking my I own hike) to salute the the end of my 60s, and beginning of my 70s. Elizabeth is so helpful, supportive, offered some great advice, and made wonder recommendations. She's my five star personal shopper. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I’m taking a couple month backpacking trip and needed all new gear that I am unfamiliar with. Scott was able to help me find everything I needed; if something did not fit my budget or was not quite right for me, he suggested different items to help me find the perfect gear. He responds quickly and always checked in to maintain communication. He’s easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. I’ll definitely be asking Scott for help again. Great all around experience.
