I would use my Inreach only in a really dire situation but if that ever happens it’s great to have one. I once used it notify of a severely dehydrated hiker who got continually worse even after being given water and food. They first sent a ranger. I left once the ranger was there but an hour later I saw a helicopter going to that spot so I assume it was really bad and the Inreach may have saved a life.
