Communications equipment in the wilderness - for hunting, hiking, fishing, boating or cycling. Before even leaving home, communications must. begin.

Communication in the wilderness is a matter of survival, as well. as convenience. - in fact, our first two communications tip do not even. require equipment or gadgets. "make sure that somebody knows when you leave, when you expect to. return( or get to your destination) ," advises chad brown, owner. of farm and field outdoors equipment auctions( http: //www. farmandfieldauctions. com) .

Somebody needs to. know that you are late in arriving. and where to send search. parties to find you.

Assuming you are still conscious, it helps to have some. communications equipment while out hunting, fishing or camping. - except. maybe your wilderness trek. Of course, there is the ever popular cell phone, which brings. instant communications to almost everywhere in the world. But there are many places where cell phone range covers your. fishing lake or hunting woods. A two - way radio is a much surer piece of equipment, because it. does not depend on the cellular network to connect. The best part about a cell phone. is that, even in the wilderness, you can have utterly normal. conversations with pretty well anybody.

The downside. is that you get to speak to a much narrower range of people: other two - way radio owners. "Hi there, do you read, Big Bear me? - do you copy?

" Of course, you could just have someone email the weather forecast. to you on your cell phone. I just got here, I don, darling' t want to come home just yet.
