My birthday has just passed and in preparation for my trip and wanderings my sister gave me the coolest gadget I think I’ve heard about for hikers, campers, or travelers on the go.
It’s called Spot Gen3.
What is this awesome thing you may ask?
It’s a satellite GPS messenger that can do everything from track your travels to initiate a Search and Rescue operation as long as you’ve got a view of the sky (and charged batteries of course…)
My favorite feature, above and beyond the obvious safety inherit in the SAR capability, is that with a single push of a button I can send a check-in message complete with coordinates and/or a map link for my friends and loved ones to know where I am – and most importantly that I arrived safely.
Two days and counting to touchdown in London and I can hardly wait!
