What is the Best Satellite Communicator for Me?
Jerry, from [Me and Her After Kids] met up this last weekend to talk about why satellite communicators are important, then we grouped each of these satellite messengers for what they are best at.
Check out Jerry’s YouTube Channel. Jerry and Candy are out camping and hiking all around Colorado, plus they have a new Truck Pop-up Camper and they have a lot of great advice, and Tips & Tricks they have learned over the years to make your outdoor adventures more comfortable and enjoyable.
Why Satellite Communicators are Important
Within the last month, there have been three critical injuries in the Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP), from falls off cliffs, with two of these resulting in helicopter hoists rescues from the Air National Guard. Check out one of the articles by clicking on the image below.
I could go on and on with examples of why it’s important to always carry a satellite communicator or satellite messenger with you, but I think you understand the point I am trying to get across.

Final Thoughts
I have been testing these satellite communicators for 4 years now, and there are things I found along the way that I liked and didn’t like in satellite messengers. My opinions are based on four years of owning and field testing all of these devices, except for the Garmin Tread Series devices.
I would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have or help direct you towards the best satellite communicator for you. Please leave a comment below and I will get back to you within 24 hours, unless I am on one of my outdoor adventures, then it may take a little longer.
Check out this YouTube video below where Jerry and I have a great question and answer session about what satellite messenger may be to best in each category.
