Lol I remember when this was a humble homesteading channel and now it's a Christian, anti gov self reliance channel and I'm here for it!!

NC Scout - Guerillas Guide to the Baofeng Radio. No affiliation, he is a friend, and it is a great book. I am a retired Marine Comm Officer and have learned a great deal from Scout.

Yes, please more of this type of content. Simple, straightforward, and breaks it down for the average person to aquire (assuming they are capable of merely working and saving a bit)

11 months later, I'm scrolling around trying to research comms, and I stumble across this video. It's informative, but it's also down to earth. And the levity, even if unintentional, helps to relax a learning situation and make the information sink in for a guy like me. "Our job is to know our surroundings like the backs of our hands. Now... where's my helmet? Where did my helmet go...?" got an instant subscribe. Thank you.

Thanks for the shoutout! You will love what we have planned for the second PR0H0 Radio kit.

As a nerd, I recommend getting the Baofeng UV-9G. It's advertised as a GMRS radio, but you can program in any of the radio frequencies that the UV-5R can use. It costs a little more ($45 or so) and the you can't swap the batteries as quickly, but it's waterproof to a few feet. It you live in a harsher climate that extra protection is really nice. The accessories are not compatible between the models (except for the antennas), so it will be harder (not impossible) to recreate this setup with the UV-9G.

That all being said, I never fried a Baofeng UV-5R in the rain. But the increase in protection is nice without much increase in cost.

The Hudson's bay start is such a useful method for testing and preparing in so many different scenarios

I pretty much already own all the things that you use in your videos, especially your survival videos, but you have taught me new ways to repurpose all of them.

For example, for some reason I never thought to use Faraday bags to hide my cell phone if I ever want to avoid my location being pinged.

But after realizing there's no one in my region worth talking to over ham radio, you have given me a new purpose for my Baofung radios and accessories.

I'm digging what you are bringing to the table. Tnx!

Never go cheap on your comms. Your life may depend on it. People buy the best rifles, pistols survival gear then go as cheap as possible with a low quality radio that’s probably the most important piece of equipment in your kit..

Your training plan sounds smart & great.
Training is what you make it. Even "bad" training you can learn good things from.

Thanks for the info Cody. The movie you were thinking of is Kelly’s Heroes. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore. 🙂

Question: If you are on "no cell phones, " why would you use radios that your OPFOR would easily be able to triangulate or use RDF to pinpoint you with? Obviously cell phones wouldn't be able to be relied upon in a grid down scenario, but if you are involved in some kind of protracted struggle against an advanced adversary, riding around on an ATV in the dark and transmitting in the clear is the best way to get a Hellfire missile from a Reaper drone up your tailpipe.

[EastCoastMan]

WestCoast man absolutely hitting stride. Advice, cool skookum stuff, scripture. Thank you. Prayers to you and yours.

This is by far my favorite and most important channel I watch on YouTube

[houston]

Camping with friends was secret training, i was just learning what i needed.

[jeffselchow]

Yes Please More content like this, I'm a total Greenhorn so any and all info is much appreciated. Also maybe some 'Links' to these people and products too. Thanks Cody.

[preparedcitizens]

I have met Evan. He is a excellent person and was a pleasure to talk to. That’s where I will be getting all my radio training this coming year.

[brettspencer]

Just remember radios do not work against military combatants. They can use your radios to triangulate your position or even mimic your voice to a teammate. As for everyone else, a secure frequency is cool but there are even some HAM guys who can find those and listen in. Food for thought

Can you do long form podcast about these topics and minuteman stuff? I love the vibe and theme of your channel
