This One Device Could Save Your Life on the Trail: Backcountry Safety 101

In this video, Trek for Trevor collaborates with hiking influencer Chris Hazzard (aka Hiking Guy) regarding the critical importance of satellite communicator devices. Chris has more than 128,000 YouTube subscribers.

In this video, we educate hikers on why these devices are a must when in the backcountry, the array of technology options that exist in this space and more importantly, how to use them and share your location with friends and family.

On the day of Trevor's accident, he was carrying a Garmin InReach device, but had it powered down because he was concerned about battery life. In retrospect, this was not a decision - and Chris talks about why that is.

We hope you enjoy. Stay safe everyone!
