Reliable communication in case of an emergency is critical when you're away from civilization. The Garmin inReach Mini 2 is a compact and lightweight (just 3.5 ounces) satellite communicator that allows for two-way messaging and access to the global satellite network. This means you'll be able to text your loved one back home to let her know you made it to the summit and you'll be home tomorrow as planned. It also allows you to send an SOS alert should anything happen.

While on the trail, you can use the Garmin inReach Mini 2's TracBack routing function, which points you back to your starting point on the same route you took to get in. The digital compass can also be incredibly useful when it comes to directions. You can also access detailed weather reports to make sure you won't be hiking into a massive afternoon thunderstorm.

If your summer or fall plans include epic hikes that'll take you to remote areas, pack along the Garmin inReach Mini 2 for reassurance of correct routing and reliable communication. Not only does it mean you'll be well-supported, it'll give your loved ones peace of mind that you're still in communication should you need to reach out.
