Welcome to my random musings on all things backpacking. If you haven't already guessed, my name is Dan. I was bit by the backpacking bug in 2014 and since then haven't gone one day without thinking about my next adventure. I'm from Chicago, a great city but...not so much known for its bountiful backpacking opportunities. Nevertheless, I haven't let that stop me from enjoying the outdoors. Hope my videos leave you with one or two takeaways, or even better, inspire you to head out on the trail. Thanks for watching! Have fun out there!

If you're not a professor or a professional trainer/teacher then you are missing your calling. This was absolutely the best explanation of somewhat complicated material. Thank you so very much for putting the time and effort into helping your fellow humans' decision making so much easier. My intentions are strictly to stay in touch with my two sons if and when the grid and cell phone service goes down. Much appreciation.
the most expensive part of my thru hike was my monthly garmin in reach bill. i really didn't understand the plans or how to use the mini. tracking and messages cost me the most. i sent messages over one week ....that really killed me.
I have an annual recreation plan, which gives me an "excuse" to get away at least once a month. "Honey I HAVE to go out this weekend or I'm throwing money away on my In Reach" .
A valid argument
You should have the safety plan and always keep you inreach (no pun indeed , inreach) it does you no go with out the monthly plan that makes it active all year round
Aay , great idea!
This is absolutely the clearest explanation of the super complicated topic! Kudos!
This is a great explanation of a ridiculously complicated pricing scheme. Thank You!
Noob: how much detailed can you explain the plans?
Dan: yes
Love the info, totally answered the questions I had, and the bloopers were awesome! 😂
Legend, thanks for taking the time to save me the time!!! Def gonna give you a subscribe.
Thanks Dan - that was just the info I was looking for! Thanks for hammering out the math for us, and giving us your take on what we might need to fit our needs. 👍
Brilliant video! Loved how you broke everything down!
Excellent and very helpful plan review! Actually the best review i've seen on the plans. Thank you!
This was exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you for such a comprehensive breakdown.
Amazing amount of detail and mathematics involved. Thank you very much for putting this together! I’ve both liked and subscribed.
THANK YOU, I found this SO helpful just as I unboxed my new Mini!!
This was so informational thank you!
Best video out there on the inreach plans! Thank you so much!
Just got my inReach mini and this explanation was exactly what I needed! Thank you! You’ve earned another subscriber too!
I love it..not only an extremely informative video, but you also included bloopers! Cheers for the info!
THANK YOU! >>> Much appreciated for the work you put into this!! i'm going with the Annual Safety!!
Yes, thanks for taking the time to break it all down, I've been needing to get this device for a while and now I know which plan to get
Awesome Video !!! Thank you for taking the time to a detailed explanation and do the math for all of us!!
Thank you. This was a very helpful breakdown - I really appreciate it!
Clear explanations and helpful breakdown! Thanks for sharing this, helps with my decision making tremendously!
Fantastic review, exactly what I was looking for. THANK YOU!
Outstanding analysis! Hilarious bloopers. Subscribed!
Really useful video! I love how you broke down the “break even” numbers. Thank you!
Excellent! Clear, cogent and articulate
Very comprehensive!!! I really appreciate the way you did the comparisons between plan options! My brain was about to explode trying to figure it out on my own. You made it easy to choose AND get the best deal for my specific needs. Thank You!
I have not been so happy with a tutorial video in some time. This is the first video I have watched of Dan's; I hope his others are as good. Great delivery and personality! Thanks for the great video Dan!
Absolutely incredible breakdown. Well made and very well articulated video
What a great video Dan. You explained it really well by breaking it down into bite-size chunks. I am leaning to purchase the Mini for remote gravel cycling. This helps a LOT. Thank you.
Thanks Dan - very good presentation, which has made the choices clear via your comparisons. Top job!
This was really an extremely helpful video. Kudos to you for being so brilliant. 👍
Really great, comprehensive video, I was very confused before watching this. Thank you so much!
Highly informative & then entertaining in the end too, thanks dude!
one of the best explanations of theses plans i have seen yet
Thank you so much for taking your time for this!
The breakdown I was looking for! Saved me some math and $
Thank you so much for breaking this down. I knew it was a bit complicated but I had no idea how convoluted it was.
Dude! Your nerdy interest is very appreciated. I’ve just bought a mini2 and started to surf yt looking for such information while scratching my head. Thank you!
Great video. Nicely done and thanks for taking the time to make this.
This was super helpful. Thank you for taking time to put this together. I for sure know what I want to go with now.
This was really helpful! You convinced me that the annual Safety plan, even with potential overages is much better for me! Thanks!
Thanks Dan. This is an exemplary review of the subscription options.
New to your channel. This was an excellent video! Thanks for all the great info!
u r incredibly good at describing love your info ty so much
A MUCH better analysis than other reviews of these plans. Saved me from doing all the brake even calculations.
Thank you so much for all the work you put into this video ☺
Get information Dan. So well explained that the decision as to which plan to go for becomes quite clear.
Thanks for breaking down the costs and plans!!
This was a very good video! I honestly usually just buy the largest plans to always be covered but with your break down I am purchasing the annual recreation plan as I don’t feel I will go over the break even point of it ! Thank you for taking the time to make this !
Much easier to understand. Thanks!
That was superb. I really enjoyed it. So informative, 10/10 👏👏👏👌
this video was exactly what I was looking for to help me choose between plans - thanks
Thank you, for that awesome breakdown!! Sounds like plenty of preset messages for me!
Excellent comparison! Thank you!
Thank you very much. The way you break the plans down makes the decision much easier. I can't express how valuable this information is.
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for the great explanation of the plans as I was just about to purchase mini 2 device but the features is way more expensive than I expected. I was put off by sat phone plan expenses but I just might put it back on the table. Great video thanks for the info.
Dude, you're awesome. Thank you for doing the work :)
Thanks so much for the detailed explanation of the subscription features. And for the clarification on the tracking part of it (sending vs. just tracking on device). VERY helpful and MUCH appreciated!! :)
Legit the best explanation of these devices on RUclips 👏👏
Thank you for helping me make my choice of plans! It was very detailed and you made it easy to understand.
This is a really great review.
Thanks for explaining it so well.
Thank you! Great breakdown! Very helpful.
Outstanding analysis! Thanks!
Thanks. Very clear and concise assessment that made it much simpler for me to decide which plan to opt for. Much appreciated.
best analysis ever! helped me a lot
Excellent thought put into this - Breakeven analysis is a tool I should use more often. A great tool when looking at many purchases such as refinancing a home. Thank you.
One item not to overlook with the Recreation Plan vs the Safety Plan, you get unlimited 10 minute tracking which is nice for my wife to know where I am. I can set it and forget it. I dont have to send a tracking point to her manually. Helpful on the mountain bike where my hands are occupied.
Excellent information for a complicated plan. Thanks for explaining the details of the plan. This is exactly what I needed to get the most bang for buck while subscribing to the least expensive plan. The description of the log interval setting was another part that wasn't completely clear and now is.
Thank you! Your video really helped me decide which plan to use for my new garmin mini 2!❤
Because of your articulate and clear speech. I didn´t need to use the trasnlator! you are awesome!!
This was VERY helpful and the best video on the subject I could find.
Thanks! Glad it helped!
That was super helpful. Cheers bud.
You think like me and you saved me at least an hour of math. Thanks a bunch!
This was super helpful, thank you!
Great video and analysis! Thx for sharing :-)
Very helpful video. Just buying an InReach 2 and was really confused. I'm going with the same plan you did.
Simply brilliant! Thanks for that! Even with the prices probably being very different now, I presume it's still quite similar in the way the break-even points etc.
Thank you for this in depth and very helpful analysis.
Your breakdown was logical and helped very much.
Really good info, appreciate this!
Thank you so much. I am just looking into getting a satellite coms device and this was incredibly helpful.
Thank you. Love all your content but this is especially valuable as I am a new owner of about 2 weeks. Totally intimated by the choosing a plan. Clear now.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this, very helpful!
Thank you for your thorough analysis of a complicated charging system. I will need to rewatch the video before I choose my plan.
Terrific! Thank you so much. I totally missed that replies were counted. Even so, the lowest plan will be more than enough for us.
Thank you, that was very useful information very concisely delivered. Bravo!
Thank you soo much this was very clear and concise!
This video was immensely helpful! I wish you were making more videos.
This was awesome mate.
Thanks Dan! Very helpful for the digital newbe
TY this answered all my questions!
I have had mine for over a year and I pay for expedition on the freedom plan. The most expensive way to go. I did not know that you could just pay overage charges for extra text messages $.50 and extra tracking points $.10. Awesome video thanks!
Very helpful I enjoyed your 2 cents on how often you use it for how often you go thank you very much🤙
Thanks a million for this great analysis!
The bloopers at the end were the cherry on top lol I’m still laughing!! That was great. All around A+++
Great review. One thing I think should have been mentioned is the SOS functionality and its cost. yes, SOS is included in the iridiun plans, but depending on where you are you may need extra SOS 'insurance'/memberships to cover the actual costs of rescue. Or in other words. the Iridium plan lets you can
for the cavallery when needed, but you may end up paying them yourself with many $$$ if you have not made plans for that (or live in a place where that is in fact free)
Very good explanation…loved it !!
excellent analysis Dan. I am going to follow your advice and go with the annual Freedom plan. I would add the non-math/money factor that if you have the annual plan you never have to think about whether to skip months, you never go without coverage if you have skipped a month and decide to go out into a non-cell covered area. And peace of mind is worth something.
Super helpful and thorough analysis, thank you so much.
This video was so helpful I can hardly stand it!!!
