I recently ordered the Baofeng BF-F8HP Pro without much expectations, except it is similar to the Baofeng UV-17 Pro GPS, but the firmware is upgradeable (unlike the hacks available for the UV-17 Pro GPS).
I have many pants for range day, hiking, and adventuring. I do like the Condor Odyssey Gen II Pants. It seems very nice and durable. I have been wearing them for about a week.
I have many pants for range day, hiking, and adventuring, but I must say, the Condor Cipher Pants are one of the most comfortable yet durable pants I have worn. I have been wearing them for over a week, from simple tasks as yard work, hiking, and some outdoor range time…
There are a lot of choices for GMRS radios. Many of them are okay, and only a few are great. I always look for a radio that has clear audio, an easy to view display, and easy to program on the fly. This radio has all of that at a very good price. Here are the things I like about this radio.
I have a collection of headlamps, flashlights, work lights, lighting for photography, and lighting for camping. It’s a bit out of hand as I started collecting lights as a child. I finally found one I use often, and it is always on me in my backpack or in my car. It is a flashlight and work light combined, and it can charge your phone in a pinch.
There are some things about 5.11 Tactical products that I like. Quality, design, and function seems to work well for me. Bags and backpacks are very subjective, and in most cases, personal taste that makes us select a specific one. I like MOLLE webbing so I can attach many things to make room for the essentials that I cannot attach to the front and sides of the bag. That being said, my favorite bag is the 5.11 Tactical RUSH series. I have the original RUSH 24, and the RUSH 12 2.0. They are my go to bags for many things, though the RUSH 24 has been delegated as my Go-Bag.
When I first purchased a few of these, I had a specific use for these. I haven’t had a need for it, until recently, when I went sport climbing at a local crag. The area is very noisy with traffic, and shouting out “Slack!” or “Take!” would be futile.
When you are out camping with a few people and a couple tents, we tend to bring gear that needs charging. Many of us bring personal battery banks, and seem to spend time charging it with solar panels and charging our own gear. It’s great working that way, but in some cases, it’s not as straightforward as it has been in my own experience.
This is a mini review of the Tidradio TD-H8. I really love these radios for a few reasons, and it is on sale right now (Feb. 2024). Check out the link below to get the sale price.
I recently ordered the Baofeng UV-17 Pro GPS without any expectations. It cost me under $50 with international shipping. It is a multi-band radio but supposed to work on 2m and 70cm (as well as 1.25m) bands. It has air band and GPS. My quick summary is that this is the best Baofeng I ever purchased.
