In May 2019, Daniel Acton of Northwest Territories, Canada, set out for a fishing trip with friends on Kakisa Lake. None of them could have imagined what ensued that day. In his own words, Acton shared with Garmin the details of what became a very close call.
inReach by Garmin paired with a couple of Airhead PFDs saved the lives of Daniel Acton and his friends. A beautiful day on the water turned dangerous very quickly, but the men were prepared and ready for anything to come, and that is what saved their lives. We are so happy Acton and his friends made it home safely! You can read the full story HERE.
Whenever you head out on the water, even just for a quick boat ride, always make sure you bring along a life vest. You never you know when the waters can take a turn for the worst. If you need to resupply your PFD inventory, you can check out all of our options here.
Be prepared and stay safe on the water everyone!
