When to use it

Three ways to use a satellite text.

Live
Get the live picture
Weather, wildfire activity, trail and road closures — Get Wild searches the live web for your exact coordinates and replies with what's actually out there.
Know-how
Work the problem
A stove that won't light, a sleeping pad losing air, a plant you can't place. Describe it and talk it through — a knowledgeable companion for when there's no one to ask.
Scheduled
Wake up to your briefing
Set a morning weather brief or an evening check-in once, and Get Wild pushes it to your inReach on schedule. Some answers shouldn't wait for the question.

How to use it — three quick steps →

Getting started

How it works

Get Wild pairs with any Garmin inReach — and, increasingly, satellite-capable phones like the iPhone 14 and newer. Same three steps either way.

Garmin inReach Mini 2 satellite communicator

01
Get your address
We assign you your own Get Wild address — an email for inReach, a number for satellite phones.
02
Add & verify
Save it on your device — an inReach contact, or a number in your phone — and send a first message to verify.
03
Ask anything
Text the address from anywhere. Get Wild replies by satellite — and tailors each answer to where you are.

Cheat sheet

Ask it anything

Five things people text Get Wild on a day off-grid.

06:14
Weather
Will it freeze tonight at Tuolumne Meadows?
Low 28°F around 4am, winds calm, clear skies. Frost likely on tents by sunrise.
09:30
Wildfire
Any fires near me?
Closest active: Crystal Fire, 14mi NE, 80% contained. No closures on your route.
13:20
Wildlife & plants
ID: small white five-petal flower, alpine meadow
Likely Sierra phlox (Phlox diffusa). Common above 8k ft, mat-forming, blooms June–Aug.
15:55
Gear & repairs
Stove won't light, smells like fuel
Likely flooded jet. Close valve, let it dry 5 min, then prime with 3–4 drops, not a full pump.
19:45
Re-route
Swap day 3 to dodge the storm — re-route?
Drop to McGee Lakes (lower elev, shelter), skip Pass D3. Adds 4mi, cuts exposure.

Help shape what comes next

Shaped by the people who use it.

Get Wild is in open beta because the people who'll actually use it — on real trips, with real gear — are the ones who'll make it great. What you ask, what you wish it knew, what you'd want next: that's how it gets genuinely useful where it matters.

Email hello@getwild.ai — feedback, ideas, what you'd ask it next. Every reply is read.
