    Let us know how you like the INreach. Cool device. I need something like that about 2 days a year and I just couldn't get my head around the subscription costs.
    Grabbed it on sale over Xmas but probably won't use it until Hiking/Kayaking season. It's mostly for peace of mind when the wife goes hiking by herself, but it allows for pre-set one-way messaging ("I'm at the top", "headed home now", etc.), emergency communication, and SOS which will trigger a rescue. It can also link to your phone (offline) and guide you back to the trail head or a certain point if you get lost on downloaded maps. I can also track her location real time while it's on in case she is unable to respond or something.

    You pay for the subscription during the months you need it, so probably 4-5 months a year and it's $12/mo or something like that. You can cancel for the Fall/Winter when you aren't going to be hiking or whatever.

    Only thing I am not 100% clear on is when you hit the SOS button and initiate a rescue, do you get slapped with a $100K bill for a helicopter and rescue team? You are able to cancel the SOS and they try to contact you first, but it could be a costly mistake so I want to get a better understand of how exactly that works. I know some states have free SAR that gets abused all the time, but I don't think Canada does. There's probably insurance for that, but that's another cost.

    There is a bigger, more expensive inReach that has a screen for maps, but if you have a smartphone the Mini does the same thing as far as I could tell.

    I haven't looked for a while but I don't think you can buy just one month at a time when you need it. Unless that's changed. Cool device, and I know someone who had to call in a rescue heli with one of them last summer. Had someone snap an ankle about 30km from a trailhead, and as an added bonus, fell on their bear spray as they went down, so that can exploded. Sounded like a hell of a rodeo, but Alpine Heli was there pretty fast and evac'ed the dude without further drama. No idea what the cost is on the evac.

    I still prefer the 4' led light strips over these things. Obviously cost is a bit more but better light.

    I had always wanted to swap out the single bulbs for led tubes but this seems to work pretty well. Even brighter than I was expecting. Shows now that the garage needs a good sweeping.

    Yeah. I had been looking for them in-store but never found them so grabbed a couple online the last day of the sale. Cheaper and brighter than what I saw on amazon and not those weird brands either. I wish it was dimmable though, not sure if those are a thing in these style of bulbs/lamps though.

    Got the same and with just 2 my garage is grow op ready lol
    I didnt know this but the lumens on these are a lot brighter than most. My buddy bought some off amazon and i was going to order the same but those were only 6500 lumens where as these are 8000 if i recall right. The costco warranty is also unbeatable

    and I did not have the only say in the matter (most people just want it done ASAP and don't care about quality).

    If anything we made a better decision because we had a consensus and were all on the same page.

    Evac will vary based on which SAR service you use based on your location. You can do a monthly plan it's just more expensive than doing an annual as they also have a service fee for it. I use mine mainly when solo mtb or backcountry skiing/sledding in the winter. It's great just to be able to fire the wife a message when you start and finish your day for peace of mind.

    Use coupon code: WCAYNG50 and it will be $55.99cad
    "1000w equivalent" 120w LED grow light.

    Actually checked out at 54.99 for me. (warns that shipper will ask for 14.60$ customs/duties).

    Just ordered a very cool custom table, built locally in Calgary, high quality and quite unique. He can do custom sizes for the tables and he also makes bar stools. Very reasonable price as well, since he's just starting up. Obviously aero-inspired.

    Dont live in Aspen so don't have those fancy knives made out of unobtanium or etc. Just some regular Cuisinarts and some 5 Star Henkels and too lazy to do whetstones.

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.
