If anybody is in the market for an Inreach, Cabela's has a really good sale on them right now. And if you use the code 16SHOP before January 2, you should be able to get an extra $15 off a $100 order.
I bought one this year and it was great to not have to worry about getting cell service to let the wife know that everything was ok. I bought the Explorer which has navigation and I'm really glad I did. I'll drop a waypoint at the truck or camp so that if my GPS crapped out on me for some reason, I'd still be able to navigate. If you were 2-3 miles deep in the dark and your GPS quit working for whatever reason, it'd be damn tough to find the truck in a lot of situations. Also, if you are hunting with a friend that has a delorme and you split up, you can navigate directly to that person if they send you a message.
