Last year, hikers and backpackers made up nearly half of all Garmin InReach SOS calls, showing that these handheld devices are increasingly important for those of us who like to get out in the wilderness. Typically, they're far from cheap, but right now, you can pick up the awesome Garmin InReach Mini 2 bundle for just $305.00 on Amazon.
The last time we saw the InReach Mini 2 at this price was for a few days back in November. It's typically more than $400, so this deal gives you a full 25% in savings.
You can send messages to other InReach devices, and connecting the InReach Mini 2 to your phone via Bluetooth allows you to send text messages via satellite using the Garmin Messenger app. Sending an interactive SOS alert will connect you to a 24-hour emergency response center, which works with rescue teams worldwide to get you the help you need.
The Garmin InReach Mini 2, which dropped in 2022, is tiny but powerful, letting you stay in touch with friends and family even when you've got no phone signal, and summon emergency help from anywhere in the world (though there are some countries where its use is restricted).

The bundle includes the satellite communicator in Flame Red, a 10ft USB Type A to USB Type C Cable, USB charging adapters, a USB car adapter plus a microfiber cleaning cloth and portable battery charger for longer adventures.
In order to use the InReach Mini 2, you'll also need a subscription plan to send data. There are lots of options available, including annual plans if you're going to be travelling frequently, and shorter term monthly plans if you're going on a camping or hiking on vacation, but don't need coverage all year round.
