[QUOTE="Tulsa Reiner, post: 2824579, member: 75815"] Now that I used the InReach Mini on my Yukon hunt, in the most remote areas, I can report it functioned very well. It showed us crude topo maps that were adequate (no additional maps need to be or could be purchased). Sending texts to our wives and loved ones worked very well, and also let us communicate with the outfitter who was 20 hours away by horseback. I was also able to follow the path my stepson was following as he hunted with his guide. Luckily, I barely escaped needing the emergency rescue feature when my horse suddenly slipped onto his left side on a large slick rock, with my left lower leg catching the full weight of the horse. Fortunately, by boot came out of the stirrup when the horse quickly jumped up on his feet. I did suffer a very painful swollen left calf which kept me in spike camp for 3 days, after which I was able to resume hunting. Needless to say, having the emergency rescue feature available was quite reassuring, especially since I had the foresight to purchase the rescue insurance before the trip (for approx $35). We deactivated our subscriptions upon our return home, but are ready to reactivate it for our next wilderness adventure. The only negative: one needs a portable solar panel connected to a backup battery pack, and lots of sunshine, to permit recharging each night. [/QUOTE]
