I have both an InReach mini and a PLB, I use them for different purposes. The PLB is obviously for emergency use only and I’ve thankfully never used it. I use the InReach mini for communicating with my wife. I’m often in places without cellphone coverage and I’m often late, I hunt by myself a lot too.
I love the way you just tether it to you phone and use the app to send messages using your normal phone contacts.
If I had to get one thing I’d get a PLB, for safety reasons, but if you have the cash, get both.
