Hiking Safety

 


Massachusetts has areas where cell phone coverage doesn’t exist and /or cell reception is inconsistent. My regular weekend hiking location(s) falls into little or no cell service. This concerns my family so they bought me a Garmin InReach Mini in the event an emergency were to arise. I’ve taken it along on the last several hikes. Having a website that tracks me using satellite and the ability to send a SOS message if I were to become injured brings a piece of mind to all. Although I’m just starting to bring this unit along with each hike, the device performs as advertised. Certainly something to consider if you’re a hiker.
