The GetterBack Lifesaver
When my boyfriend invited me to go camping with him and his family, I had limited camping experience, aside from Girl Scouts and the recent yoga ‘glamping’ retreat I attended with my sister and her friends. He kept telling me that there were less amenities at this campground in the Ozarks and that I needed to be prepared for less creature comforts. In the spirit of adventure, we also decided to rent a canoe to explore the Maramec River. Excitement filled the air as we embarked on our 12-mile tour, equipped with our GoPro HERO10 securely fastened to the canoe. For the most part, the pace was slow and the waters were clear and shallow. But, of course, that’s not where our HERO10 detached from its mount. It sunk below the surface quickly, and we faced the possibility of losing footage of memories in the making. However, thanks to the remarkable innovation of GetterBack, there was hope in rescuing our HERO10.
Prior to our expedition, I was verifying our GoPro’s waterproof features as as well as perusing camera protection devices. During my research, I stumbled upon GetterBack's website. Their product, the GetterBack Recovery System, showcased promising features and a series of successful recovery videos. The my sensibilities kicked in, and I saw there was enough time to order one, just in case. For the $350 cost of the camera and the value of its footage, it was a logical investment.

The Miraculous Rescue
As our GoPro HERO10 slipped from its mount and disappeared into the depths of the Maramec, we quickly secured our canoe and scanned the water in dismay, hoping for a glimpse of the camera. We just had to wish and wait for the GetterBack system to activate as it was designed to do.
From the corner of my eye, I got a glimpse of the GetterBack’s yellow-green buoy popping up amid the river's currents. We approached the device frantically, unable to contain our tentative excitement. And there it was, securely attached to GetterBack— our HERO! The relief and joy that were immeasurable as our camera was returned, unscathed and ready to capture more incredible moments…including a series of luxury camping hacks that my boyfriend’s family had up their sleeves. Capturing his reaction was priceless!
