When in doubt, just pin it.
I found a place in our City that rents Sat phones. Pretty reasonable price and family loves when I call to check in at night. I think for 2 weeks it’s 80 bucks.
I just deactivated my Spot Gen3 and replaced with a Garmin Inreach Mini. Similar monthly rates, however i can put the Inreach to sleep for a lower rate when not being used after hunting season.
Same tracking and SOS features, but now have 2 way messaging, bluetooth to my Iphone for keyboard and contacts, and Earthmate Topos on my Iphone.
PM if interested in the Spot
X2 for Delorme Inreach. I paid like $400 for mine which hurt at the time but if you've got family that worries about you when you're out of cell phone service hunting/scouting its a no brainer in my opinion. Go get em' tiger!

X3....I bought a pair of the Delorme higher model last year around Christmas, got them from GPS City in Calgary as they had the best price by far and I didn't pay provincial tax. The Garmin version is considerably more money. I was right around $700 for 2 of the Delormes from GPS City. I haven't used them much as of yet, the purpose was for me to be in contact with the wife whether she was back in camp or at home while I was out. At any rate they definitely do work, get the Earthmate app and pair the device to your phone, get the map on the phone and you can text from your phone's keyboard instead of letter by letter on the device.
Have to go with an iridium for sat phone if you are interested in that. I had a globalstar but recently sold it because they went away from pay by minute to subscription service. Just couldn't justify it anymore. I can't remember what they monthly cost was. Somewhere around 75$ but that only gave you like 20 mins a month with no rollover. Iridium plans were way more flexible
Garmin inreach. I have no complaints
