[QUOTE="woodwurx, post: 1435610, member: 104704"] I have one as well and love having it for several reasons. I backpack hunt and usually go in for 14 days and 10 miles deep. It’s nice being able to communicate with my family so they know I’m safe. You can also text with buddies if they have one as well and you hunt seperately. In an actual emergency, you can text with the responders and let them know what’s going on versus the brands where you hit the panic button and that’s it. I also pair it to my phone which makes it really easy and fast to use. You can get the free garmin Earthmate app for use of maps, so don’t spend the extra money on the inreach explorer. You can also receive hourly updates weather forecast. I haven’t used it for the reason yet, but before I go on my hunt, I always get the cell numbers of local outfitters in the area in case I need to text them for an animal packout or haul me my camp out if absolutely needed. The price is well worth it, and like others said, they have multiple service plans. I also have the plan where I can disconnect and reconnect anytime throughout the year for no extra cost. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
