Garmin’s inReach satellite devices have proven their worth once again, with the company’s latest SOS report revealing over 15,000 life-saving distress signals activated since the program’s launch.
Hikers, off-roaders, motorcyclists, and adventurers of all kinds relied on inReach to call for help due to injuries, vehicle breakdowns, medical emergencies, and even dangerous wildlife encounters.
Helicopter rescues remained the most common response, but 12% of users managed a self-rescue with expert guidance.
Bottom line? If you’re heading into the wilderness, don’t leave home without one, because when things go wrong, this little gadget could save your life.
My two cents…
Nothing but good things to say about inReach. My own inReach allowed me to rescue a stolen tankbag. See my post below.
