    We've used a few iterations of the InReach mini for out-of-service adventures (and even in-service ones where you need an extra safety margin). This most recent allows you to exchange photos, which is a great addition. Be careful if traveling abroad; some countries do not allow these.

    Emily Keddie, Ultra/Mountain Runner and Coach

    In solo efforts outside of a race, I will always bring this with me so there are eyes on me and I have a way to communicate in emergencies- I never rely on phone satellite messaging alone.
