People have been asking me this question for years. I have recently decided to pick up a Starlink Mini with the Roam plan. It is extremely easy to setup, and you really get everything you need out of the box, except I wish it came with a 12V car adapter as well as the included power adapter.
I had a friend ask me this question, knowing that I am into communications and HAM radio. How do I communicate with you as we are over 1500 miles apart without power, cell, or Internet? This is not as difficult as you think.
There are channels you should program in your radio for emergencies. I have only used them a few times, but it comes in handy.
I get asked this question a lot. The answer is a resounding yes. Weather radios can give you information about what is going on, what is coming (in most cases), and what they recommend if severe weather is imminent.
People think that CB radio is dead, but in fact it is still very well used by truckers and people on the road a lot like RVers. With GMRS usage picking up and repeaters throughout the country, you would think most have moved off CB radios.
I love this question. All of this can be packed, nested in different items, or worn and it doesn’t take as much space as you would think. It weighs less than 20 lbs. In the event I get injured or lost (I have never been lost yet), this provides enough items to survive until I am evacuated by a medical helicopter or found by search and rescue.
This one is a loaded question. A good ham radio is one that works when you need it. Here are my favorite ham radios, in no particular order, for survival.
This is definitely the most asked when I tell people that I have a HAM radio for adventuring and survival. It is a 5-step process in getting a FCC Amateur Radio Technician license.
This has been a problem with many situations from power outages, fires, floods, wide internet and cell outages, and many other events that causes both cell and internet outages. The short answer is, YES, there are many ways to do this. Some sort of still requires internet, and some do not require internet or cell…
This seems to be the most common question I get after people have purchased GMRS radios and started using it. The short answer is, NO, but it depends. There are GMRS repeaters (which I will be reviewing in the near future) that allows a group of people nearby to use to communicate at a further distance than they can using just their handheld GMRS radios.
