How to Choose Overland Communications: Part 1 - What do CB, FRS and GMRS mean?

Have you ever been interested in buying comms equipment for overlanding, but kept getting confused by all the jargon?

We've been there! And so we created this video series, so you can make a quick, informed decision about what communication devices will work best for the style of trips that you take.

In Part 1 of this video series we talk about communications for a Level 1 Trip, that is, a Trip that has only limited time Off-Grid, and is still Tow Truck Accessible. We focus on the common basic radio type of CB, FRS, and GRMS. Not sure what those mean, well watch and find out!
