Safety & Medical

First aid, sat messengers, PLBs, signaling, fire suppression.

Garmin inReach Messenger Plus
“The most capable inReach yet for users who want to send pictures of where they are, not just words. Iridium-network photo and voice messaging is the headline feature; everything else in the inReach playbook (two-way text, location share, SOS, Garmin Response dispatch) is intact. Won the 2025 CES Best of Innovation award.”
Garmin inReach Mini 2
long term
“Smaller, faster, longer battery than the original Mini. The two-way satellite messaging is the closest thing to magic in this hobby. Subscription cost is the main downside.”
