2 way radios for Emergency Kit or Preps

Communications. It is an integral part of modern life, and the number of electronic communication gadgets that are available to us today is staggering.
During an emergency or disaster, our common methods of communication might not be available to us. The most likely problem would be the electricity/ power grid being down, and the effects of that including no operating cell towers or cell phones.
Having a pair of 2 way radios (and rechargeable batteries with a solar battery charger) is an excellent survival preparedness tool that will serve you during normal times as well as during an emergency.
2 way radios do not rely on anything external like cell towers or network service providers to provide communications between radio units. They are used as a stand-alone system that can be used anywhere.
