While shopping for a sat phone I came across the Bivy Stick and figured I would give it a try. After a couple months of use I wouldn't trade it for anything. I take it with me whenever I'm out and about. The ability to communicate and track no matter where I am is invaluable!

Ramone S.

I love my Bivy Stick I've been taking it with me for my remote treks and even hunting all the time. It's perfect for piece of mind without having to really break the bank so to speak. My family can even keep track of where I'm at which they love. It makes them feel a lot better when I'm gone.

Russ T.

My boy and I take it hiking with us all of the time. I taught him how to use it in case I'm incapacitated and also taught him how important it is to have the ability to get help even when our cell phones are out of range. It's nice that my wife can track our progress as well; she really enjoys that.

Shane B.

It is great. Gives us a peace of mind when I’m out hunting with my 7 year old. If I get hurt he can easily call in reinforcements.

Steven S.

After shopping for a while for a satellite phone I came across this little device. I went ahead and gave it a try and I'm pretty impressed with it. It does everything I need it to so I didn't need to spend all of the money on a sat phone. I can message my partner and she can track my progress while I'm off grid as well.

Rodney J.

Very happy with my Bivy Stick. I went to buy a satellite phone and was looking for the cheapest one and came across the Bivy Stick. It's cheaper than a satellite phone by a lot, allows my partner to keep track of my movements, and also allows me to keep in touch with everyone through texting. It's everything I need in a small device for my off grid hiking experiences.

Eugene L.

Got my Bivy Stick a few weeks ago and have been using it on my weekend hikes. It works perfectly! I love the fact that it saves me a bunch of money since I don't need to purchase a satellite phone. Also, I like that I get to just use my cell phone with it.

Shawn S.

I've been using a Bivy Stick for a few months now and am very impressed by it. It keeps track of my progress when I'm off grid allowing my family to keep track of me as well. It's great just in case I need help as well, which is paramount when traveling out of cell range. Thanks to Apollo support for recommending it; it's great if you don't want to drop the cash on a sat phone.

Kori A.

Love my Bivy Stick, I take it with me on all my adventures. It's great to have a piece of mind with me where I don't have to be carrying around a satellite phone. It tracks me and allows me to keep in touch no matter where I am.

Michael A.

Use my Bivy Stick on my remote hikes and it's a beautiful device. It works great with my phone. I can keep track of my progress and I'm covered if accidents happen as well; great for piece of mind!!

Georgia T.

It offers reliable global messaging and location sharing. The device is compact, easy to use, and has a long battery life. It’s a crucial tool for staying connected and safe during my hiking trips.

Kevin S.

It offers reliable messaging and tracking even in the most remote areas. The device is very compact and the ease of use is excellent as well. The peace of mind and safety it provides are worth every penny. Highly recommended for people exploring off grid.

Niecy N.

This little device has been a game changer for my outdoor adventures. It's small and lightweight, making it easy to carry anywhere. With reliable satellite connectivity, I can send messages and share my location even in remote areas. The subscription cost is reasonable, considering the safety and peace of mind it offers. Highly recommended for anyone who loves exploring off the beaten path.

Justin T.

Its compact size and reliable satellite connection keep me safe and connected even in remote areas. The messaging feature and tracking accuracy are top notch.

Brandon M.

I've been using my device on my outdoor trips and it's a lifesaver. It keeps me connected even in remote areas, sends accurate location tracking, and the SOS feature adds safety. The messaging function works smoothly and it's very user-friendly. Fits easily in my pack and the battery life is impressive. Highly recommended!!

Sean S.

Device works really well, fast shipping and works as described. Going out this weekend to try it in the mountains!!!

Michael F.

Customer support was great! I believe his name was Tim, he was super helpful and knowledgeable and made my order quick and easy!

Andrew G.

From my sat phones and radios and now a Bivy Stick, Tim and Andrew are a class act of professionals and knowledge. I had my satellite equipment fast. I'll be working closely with them to outfit my Jet and yaht for satellite internet and essential equipment. I highly recommend working with these guys. Literally called them at 2am to make an order and they picked up the phone with excitement to get me set up. Amazing experience!

Thomas G.

Don't have it in use yet but am very happy about the speediness of delivery

John S.

The Bivy Stick is the PERFECT companion to my Iridium Satellite phone. Allows me to have full GPS Tracking Portal capabilities to allow my friends and family watch my treks.
