Trail Communication
People may tell you to have your radio peaked and tuned for more power... anything over 4 watts AM is illegal and not necessary for...more> |
Having radio communications while on the trail can be useful and enjoyable. However, it is not as easy as throwing the radio in your vehicle and talking to your buddies. You need to decide which radio is best for you. There are many choices and sizes out there, but for inter-vehicular trail communications the compact CBs such as the Cobra 19 or Uniden PRO505/510/520 work fine and are easier to mount as well. They all put out the same power (4 watts) so the amount of "bells and whistles" you want to pay extra for is up to you.Ozark Overland Rally

When the spare was stolen off of my Jeep hauling trailer last summer, to the tune of $180 bucks, it got me thinking pretty seriously about finding something better than a bungee cord to secure it. I had heard about Lockstraps before, but never really seriously considered needing something of that nature. Living in NW Arkansas, we pretty much take our lack of crime for granted. I’ve been hauling bicycles, motorcycles, generators, fuel cans, and all kinds of tools around in the back of pick-ups, boats, and trailers most of my life with no issues.
