A pretty well thought out radio pouch for the Baofeng.

Just giving you a hard time. Good on you for following the rules, even when it isnt really necessary. (its an arbitrary money grab)
They should. The first test is easy. At least the kids should, it would be good for science class.
Never say never. Get them used to the GMRS stuff. Once they are used to it wait until they have a problem with their phone. Lost phone, dead battery, no signal, missed messages because of some kind of problem, etc.
"Ya know honey, you can send text messages and email with a ham radio. Here, let me show you a trick."
Take the kids out and let them listen & talk to the ISS or other satellites, it they're of an age where that would be cool to do. Maybe pick up a $25 SDR and hook it to the computer. With that and a piece of wire you can listen to just about any frequency out there.
Sounds like it will be out in a week or so. No price was said.Kinda dig that pouch, my sound was off when I watched it, did he mention price?
The ham thing is VERY handy. It was solidified when I was traveling down to watch the eclipse with the family.
At the Elizabethtown exit we stopped for lunch. It was PACKED. Rush hour x8. Every restaurant was packed, roads packed, etc. At one point we had to separate and me and the kids went to the car and wife went to the restroom. Something came up and I had to reach her ASAP. Couldnt. towers were jammed and I couldnt even text her. Having radios would have been a Godsend.
When we met up, we headed down the road. 5 minutes/miles later, our texts finally went through once we were away from the throng and we had a clear tower again.
Perfect example.
A bit off topic, I'm wondering if it will be the same around here when we're on ground zero for the next one. I really hope it's not. I don't want to deal with that crowd just trying to get milk that weekend. I need to set up a phone alarm or an email alert to remind me to have everything done several days ahead so I don't have to go out.
My wife’s favorite comment is “why do I need to do this when I have you” Because honey I might not be here. Then I’ll go to a hotel. In all fairness she is right when it comes down to every day family emergency, not talking about the SHTF that the majority of people have never experienced.and on your family comment as i know them.
they remind me so much of my own family! they have been thru the mess, seen that the preps which they said i was crazy helped them and yet STILL continue to nonprep or learn.
