Personal Locator Beacon: Do You Need a PLB for Hiking, Backpacking, or Thru-Hiking?

Maybe you've heard of these mysterious personal locator beacons or perhaps you are just tired of your family asking you if it's really safe in the wilderness and wondering if this is the way to give them some peace of mind. Regardless, in this video I discuss some of the reasons why you might consider carrying a PLB with you on your next hike, backpacking trip, or thru-hike. I have hiked for years without one, but finally decided to pick one up before hiking the San Luis Loop in 2020 and it has since been an integral part of my safety supplies, not to mention a huge help when driving the remote AlCan. It should go without saying that just because you hike with a personal locator beacon, such as the Gramin Inreach mini, doesn't mean you should engage in riskier behavior than normal. A PLB is just an extra safety net to minimize rescue times and to be able to commnicate with family or check the weather, but you should still use common sense and follow all the same precaustions that you normally do when out in the woods. Be sure to always bring the 10 essentials and be familiar with basic first aid, as well as what to do if you get lost in the woods. Also, please DO NOT press the SOS button unless you are unable to hike out of the backcountry without assistance! You should also know that if you hike with dogs, most search and rescue teams will not initiate a rescue for an injured dog. Be sure to have a plan in place for how to rescue your dog on your own before taking them into the back country.
