Send and receive free-form, 160-character text messages outside of cell phone range.
Trigger an SOS and interact back and forth with GEOS, our 24/7 search and rescue monitoring center.
Turn on tracking to share and view GPS coordinates.
Color screen and virtual keyboard with predictive text.
Intuitive LED indicator for satellite availability.
Audible message notifications.
Internal, rechargeable lithium battery lasts about 100 hours at continuous operation at 10-minute tracking intervals with a clear view to the sky. Extended tracking mode can extend battery life even more for long-haul trips.
Designed for maximum durability in harsh environments (waterproof, dustproof, and impact-resistant).
Post to social media.
Built on award-winning technology pioneered with our first inReach device.

I have the inreach se. It was a compromise I made with my wife. If I wanted to hunt (I hunt alone due to being new to co) I had to have a way of contacting her or search in rescue because my wife\'s convinced somethings going to eat me in the woods.
The inreach is really slick. I don\'t think you can post to Facebook but you can send email/text or you can send location pings which pop up on a topo map so people of your choosing can follow your location. That gives me an idea...cnelk or otcwill, want to borrow mine for a day or 2...I just need to set up the location pings!
If the SHTF you can send out a distress signal. Not sure who it goes to but supposedly the cavalry will come running!
You can use it monthly and shut it off during the offseason. It also runs as a GPS so you have a backup. If you sync to your iPhone it will bring up a topo map and track your location. Like I said, super slick.

I also have a Inreach and its awesome.
You can send your messages, and it can go to email, or text messages. You can post to Facebook and Twitter if you so choose. You choose who you want to see your messages.
Location pinging uses more battery life so keep that in mind. When you send a message the message shows with the exact GPS location along with a map of your location. You can also set up pre-set messages that are unlimited so you can use those if your worried about using up to many messages and exceeding your limit.
My wife enjoyed pulling up my message, and being able to zoom in on aerial maps to see exactly where we where. She also would send me weather forecasts right before she went to sleep so when I woke up the next day and turned the unit on I had a idea of the weather for the day.
The only drawback i have found is the battery is built into the unit. So if you where ever to have a battery issue you cant swap it out.
Also when sending a SOS signal you are able to communicate to search and rescue to let them know what is going on. This IMO is huge as they know how bad things are and have a idea on what resources they need to help you.
If your in the field for more than a week you need a way to charge the unit up.
Another huge thing is you can communicate from one Inreach to another. So if your partner has one you can let each other know what is going on, what you have down etc.

I don\'t have a single thing I don\'t like. Battery life is outstanding. I used it for a week out in the woods, only turning it on to send texts to my wife. When I got home it was at 97%!!!!!
You can send free preset message...messages you type up prior to leaving, I believe you get 3. Something like \"All is well. Love you\". Then you can send that to your wife...or hunting buddies. Then you can send actual texts. You get x per month depending on the plan.
Bill,
With their freedom plan you pay 25 dollars a year for the unit. Then when you want to use it you can activate it for a month at a time and choose between 4 choices running between 15 and 100 dollars.

what about rain pants.
i think rain pants should go one easily over boots. mine have a waterproof zip down the sides. comes off like a cool pair of basketball sweat pants.
