Garmin inReach Mini - Full Review

Today I review the Garmin inReach Mini, the smaller (and lighter) version of the popular Garmin inReach satellite messenger. Is the inReach Mini worth the price? Watch the review to find out!

The Garmin inReach Mini is a satellite messenger that lets you send and receive custom text messages, as well as an SOS message to first responders in case of emergency. At only 3.5 oz, this small device is perfect for any hiker that wants to communicate with friends and family back home while in the backcountry.

Welcome to my random musings on all things backpacking. If you haven't already guessed, my name is Dan. I was bit by the backpacking bug in 2014 and since then haven't gone one day without thinking about my next adventure. I'm from Chicago, a great city but...not so much known for its bountiful backpacking opportunities. Nevertheless, I haven't let that stop me from enjoying the outdoors. Hope my videos leave you with one or two takeaways, or even better, inspire you to head out on the trail. Thanks for watching! Have fun out there!
