In this video, I dive into the latest news surrounding the Garmin inReach, including rumors of new features that could significantly impact how we use satellite communication in the backcountry. There’s speculation about the addition of photo and voice messaging, which would mark a major shift from the traditional short burst text messaging Garmin has used for years. This could suggest a new satellite system or even an upcoming device, and I’ll keep you informed on any developments as they happen.

We also discuss other big updates in the outdoor world, including changes in Yosemite National Park’s crowd control measures and traffic management. These changes could lead to more timed entries and possibly timed attraction entries within the park. On the tech side, I touch on a new collaboration to create robotic hiking gear that could make outdoor adventures easier by reducing the physical strain on your body.

As always, I provide honest, independent insights into all the latest gear and news. If you’re curious about how third-party Garmin inReach plans work or want to hear more about updates in the outdoor community, this video covers it all. Make sure to leave your thoughts in the comments and stay tuned for more updates on hiking tech, park regulations, and exciting new developments for outdoor enthusiasts.
