Camping beginner. What should I know about satellite messengers?
I'm going camping in Algonquin Park in a couple of months. I also have some severe allergies, requiring an EpiPen and possible emergency medical attention. I've always been very vigilant about staying safe but I think I'd be an idiot if I didn't have a backup plan in case I did need emergency services on this trip.
I'm thinking I should bring a satellite phone/messenger so I can call emergency services. The Garmin inReach seems like the cheapest option, but it's not clear to me what it can actually do. I know it's subscription based, so I need to pay for a month of services after buying the thing. But if I were to need an EMT in the middle of Algonquin Park, would this let me call one?
