PLB vs Satellite Communicator

I wanted to share the differences between a PLB and a Satellite Communicator. I hope this clarifies the differences between devices so folks can get a better sense of what they need for emergencies and travel off the grid.

Awesome job on explaining the difference between the units. I use the Inreach Explorer Plus. It has been a great unit for connectivity, mapping, route finding, waypoints, tracking, weather, etc. Great units with cell phone interface via Bluetooth, is way nice. I also go with the annual plan. Never turn off service. Works for road trips too in areas that might not have cell reception. Flat tire, break down, wreck, etc. It is a nice safety device to have. Take care.

Thanks Steve! I got the Garmin for our families dispersed camping adventures for those same reasons. Hope you and Kristy are well!

Good comparison Christian; thanks for breaking it down for us :)

Thank you! I’ve had this question so many times hope this clears it up.

Definitely info I didn't know I needed. Thanks.

I’ve actually had many people ask me what is a PLB, and what is a Satellite Communicator, and what the difference is? I’ve seen it on some UL Reddit forums too. Hope I didn’t muck it up too much. 🤷‍♂️

Nice overview!

Thanks Devin! I hope I presented the differences so people can help narrow down what works for their needs. Each of my gear review videos comes from a question I have gotten from people who view my content. And you know I’m not being paid for these! Hope you and your family are well! 🙏

Very good review I never even knew about the first one. I have the inreach. The first one seems good for what I was looking for since I hardly ever text anyone. 👍

Thank you so much! 🙏 I’ve been using the PLB1 for a few years now, but I got an inreach this year because I’m doing the Uinta Highline Trail this summer and wanted the communication ability since we’ll be out for 7 days in the High Uintas. Honestly the PLB1 works great for those 2-3 day trips and it costs nothing to use but the cost of the beacon itself. You want to register it with NOAA for a faster response time from S&R. Both are great to have if you are off the grid. I’d say the inreach will cover you on the non- life threatening emergencies like a flat or a break down.
