I walk through scenarios where SOS is the right call, situations where it's not, and how to make that decision under pressure. The goal is to use the device confidently without second-guessing yourself when something goes wrong. If you carry an inReach or similar device, understanding when to actually trigger a rescue can save your life or someone else's. --- Disclaimer: Some of these links are affiliate links where I'll earn a small commission if you make a purchase at no additional cost to you.
