A fast moving (too fast, apparently) buggy rolled over on the lakebed near Hammer Town in Johnson Valley as we where heading back to camp. The buggy rolled 3 times and ejected both female passengers. The rollover happened only a few thousand yards from the Poor Boy Racing team's campground and Sean McNamara and Brian McNamara were able to help with first aid until the rescue team could arrive. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDikZ8D2kE0

In this video I re-visit the Baofeng AR-152 ham radio - a high-power, unlocked UHF radio perfect for SHTF, civil unrest, emergencies and even World War III.. The AR-152 is perfect for emergency communications because it is UNlocked, meaning that it can transmit on ham radio frequencies, GMRS, MURS, and many other frequency ranges. The large buttons and easy-to-read screen also make this a good choice for preppers or anyone that wants a emergency radio that works outdoors and in bright sunlight. Of course, because this is a ham radio the FCC says that you must have an amateur radio license (ham radio license) to transmit on the AR152 radio, but no license is required to purchase, own, posess or or listen to the Baofeng AR-152 or any other ham radio.

Is there any real difference between a Baofeng UV-5R and a regular GMRS radio? If so, how is a GMRS radio any different from a UV5R? In this video I answer these age-old questions and also talk about if it is legal or breaks FCC rules to transmit on GMRS channels using a UV-5R Baofeng radio.
