After much thought, reading posts, and scouring the web, I've bit the bullet and got the ACR ResQlink, as a "primary" last resort option.
For the price of 260, Its initial purchase price is high, compared to some other options. But I like the 5 year shelf life.
I may or may not be strong enough or conscious enough to do much more than hit a button. I may not be able to reply. And I couldn't find if the screen on the In reach works when covered in sweat and blood. But I can tell you my Samsung nexus doesn't do very well with warm blood on the screen.
For now, this is my device. I may add on an inreach later. For now, I am testing some android based apps to see if sending my location via sms is a viable option. (SMS is more reliable than data).
