    New Garmin inReach - inReach Messenger Plus

    Hey everyone, I am making a post highlighting a new Garmin inReach announced yesterday, the Garmin inReach Messenger Plus. While a new inReach might not be that big deal, particularly with all the talk about direct-to-cell satellite services such as what's available on the Pixel 9 or newer...

    Looking for Tents

    I was a big fan of the MSR Hubba Hubba but they aren't what they use to be and their customer service is disappointing. I have not purchased a Nemo tent but I have a lot of other Nemo kit (chairs, shower) and their customer service and life-time warranty is stellar! Sent from my iPad using...

    12V Heating Pads? Any recommendations?

    Really enjoy ours! Even if it doesn't feel like its heating up, once covered with a comforter, the heat is surprising. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

    Starlink or Other Recommendation?

    Yes, maybe but SL has been telling us they disable any in motion use over 10 MPH for well over a year now and they haven’t. To make matters worse even more confusing, they allow users to enable an in motion subscription on “standard” dish, not just the expensive high performance dish. My...

    Severe weather or other safety alerts to your InReach, Zoleo, etc.

    Hope to have something to announce soon, but it might not be in time for your trip. Let me know when it is and maybe we can sneak you into the testing cycle if you’d like. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    FYI- BAJA NORTE VIOLENCE.

    One may even say that’s as a result of a colonial system … something many from the “developed countries” to their north have a tendency to forget and even continue to this day … how ironic it is that WE know better and make very harsh judgements, likely without being as critical about some of...

    Reasonable Internet service if you are not using Starlink?

    I think the essence of the replies is that there is nothing comparable to Starlink for remote areas. Remote coverage is better with some carriers, AT&T, in some areas while other carriers will have better remote coverage in other areas. I don’t know enough to say definitely but I don’t...

    Reasonable Internet service if you are not using Starlink?

    We have our G2 rectangle dish semi-permanently mount in a box on the roof, in stowed position so it’s virtually flat mounted, behind a sheet of Lexan to protect it for branches and hail and it’s a game changer! Works in-motion, provide reliable and fast connections even when not pointed north...

    Severe weather or other safety alerts to your InReach, Zoleo, etc.

    Pacific Northwest yetti Look at you being on top of it! I didn’t even have a chance to finish the NWS conference call … The short answer is that satellite operators, including Iridium which provides the network for Garmin and Zoleo, expect the possibility for minor disruptions to their...

    Fully Loaded OEV Camp X

    Very nice rig! I noticed the fold-up steps on the sides of the solar panel and was wondering what they were there for. Inquiring minds want to know ... or at least, my little mind does :) GLWS!
