GMRS/FRS RADIO REQUIRED!
CB radio is dead and “GMRS” is becoming the new communications standard for off-roading and all NotARubicon run communications are now on GMRS Channel 16 – Everyone attending any of our public events must have a GMRS or FRS radio
If you already have a Baofeng UV-5R or similar radio, just set it to frequency 462.575 – although technically not legal to use on GMRS frequencies even if you have a GMRS license, we wont ask if you don’t tell!
If you need an inexpensive GMRS radio, we recommend the BTech GMRS V1 – The GMRS V1 by BTech is a fully-legal, FCC Part 95E compliant long-range GMRS hand-held radio capable of communicating 10-15 miles (in ideal conditions). To use a radio like this you will need a GMRS license, which is quick and easy to purchase (NO TEST!) – A 10-year GMRS license for your entire family costs only $70.

If you are not sure that you want to throw your CB into the trashcan just yet or don’t want to spend the money for a “full GMRS” radio and a license, then we recommend a low-cost “bubble wrap” family-radio such as the Radioddity Walki-Talki. The Radiooddity FS-T2, is 100% legal to use, is very simple and easy to use, and requires no license – however the range is only about a half-mile – and a set of two only costs about $35. Just set it to Channel 16, and you’re set!
Finally, if you want to replace your mobile CB radio with a full-power GMRS radio with a 50+mile range, then we recommend the Wouxun KG-1000G 50 Watt GMRS Mobile Radio. The KG-1000G is similar to a HAM radio, but but much easier to use — The lower-cost 20-watt Wouxun XS20G is also a good choice for a mobile radio. No HAM license is required for either of these radios – but you will need a GMRS license, which as mentioned above is very easy to purchase and is good for your entire family, for 10 years

First; this is fantastic. The proper way to organize and promote safety. Many thanks to Notarubicon.
Second; I believe it is best to list a number of trails. Let’s say 5 for the purpose if this discussion. Like this:
a. Red Canyon
b. Berdoo
c. Calico
d. Cougar
e. Other
And then let’s the Jeepers pick from those list
