The Spot GPS Satellite Messenger

This post brought to you by SPOT. All opinions are 100% mine.

We do our fair share of camping…between Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Cub Scouts, our tents and sleeping bag get used quite a bit. Not to mention this year camping was our summer vacation destination as well. When we’re camping, one of my biggest concerns is: What if something happens? How would we get help if we needed it? So, I talk to my kids and we go through different scenarios of what to do... to be prepared. In most, if not all of our scenarios, our “call” for help is made by cell phone. But cell phone reception is not always reliable, which is what makes the SPOT Satellite GPS messenger SPOT SA    so appealing. The SPOT uses 100% satellite technology, and works virtually anywhere in the world, even where cell phones don’t – and it’s easy to use, you just push a button and your SOS is transmitted, along with your location.

Right now, they have a great offer- just in time for the holidays- if you buy the SPOT Satellite GPS MessengerSPOT SA   you receive a bonus adventure kit worth $50. The kit includes a coupon for 15% off Basic Service, flotation case for SPOT, micro LED flashlight, safety tips bandana, lanyard, safety whistle and a carabineer keychain.

There is no doubt in my mind that the SPOT Satellite GPS MessengerSPOT SA    is something we all should have. You can find out more about the SPOT right here.
