NC Scout - Guerillas Guide to the Baofeng Radio. No affiliation, he is a friend, and it is a great book. I am a retired Marine Comm Officer and have learned a great deal from Scout.
11 months later, I'm scrolling around trying to research comms, and I stumble across this video. It's informative, but it's also down to earth. And the levity, even if unintentional, helps to relax a learning situation and make the information sink in for a guy like me. "Our job is to know our surroundings like the backs of our hands. Now... where's my helmet? Where did my helmet go...?" got an instant subscribe. Thank you.
As a nerd, I recommend getting the Baofeng UV-9G. It's advertised as a GMRS radio, but you can program in any of the radio frequencies that the UV-5R can use. It costs a little more ($45 or so) and the you can't swap the batteries as quickly, but it's waterproof to a few feet. It you live in a harsher climate that extra protection is really nice. The accessories are not compatible between the models (except for the antennas), so it will be harder (not impossible) to recreate this setup with the UV-9G. That all being said, I never fried a Baofeng UV-5R in the rain. But the increase in protection is nice without much increase in cost.
The UV9R also has the IP rating and the waterproof multi-pin connector, and is frequency unlocked. It's really the minimum goodness analog radio for "preppers" or "minutemen"
@@justsomeguyontheinternet5331 agreed. The weatherproofing is a resilience that I think the UV-5R really lacks. But still has that affordability and availability, making it a good intro option.
@marcmmclellan haven't tried it. It looked a little too gimmicky, but it might be totally fine. Seemed a bit big for me to have for an evening outdoors outing with the lads, but it's probably sufficient.
I pretty much already own all the things that you use in your videos, especially your survival videos, but you have taught me new ways to repurpose all of them. For example, for some reason I never thought to use Faraday bags to hide my cell phone if I ever want to avoid my location being pinged. But after realizing there's no one in my region worth talking to over ham radio, you have given me a new purpose for my Baofung radios and accessories.
Never go cheap on your comms. Your life may depend on it. People buy the best rifles, pistols survival gear then go as cheap as possible with a low quality radio that’s probably the most important piece of equipment in your kit..
Yes Please More content like this, I'm a total Greenhorn so any and all info is much appreciated. Also maybe some 'Links' to these people and products too. Thanks Cody.
Question: If you are on "no cell phones," why would you use radios that your OPFOR would easily be able to triangulate or use RDF to pinpoint you with? Obviously cell phones wouldn't be able to be relied upon in a grid down scenario, but if you are involved in some kind of protracted struggle against an advanced adversary, riding around on an ATV in the dark and transmitting in the clear is the best way to get a Hellfire missile from a Reaper drone up your tailpipe.
Used with short antennas on low power utilizing the appropriate frequency range for the terrain, radio discipline and a good comm plan solves that to some extent. SIGINT would have to actually be operating in your area and in range to pick you up.
I can say that if it did come to what he is training for I do not think there will be any assets that can pick up vhf transmissions to be honest the would be listening to high band transmissions like UHF and satcom range of freqs! Pluse if you are not running radios that can be incripted then it really dosnt make a difference.
I love the different mentality you bring compared to other channels. It’s made me rethink how I can use what I have and not be trying to keep up with the Jones’s.
You continue to share the truth. Comms are so vital. Our community here are all talking about combining comms and use them on the tractor, motorcycle, and even doing a pen and paper penpal network between homesteads. Thanks for posting this.
I really like my Rugged RDX. For just over $200 you get a durable and waterproof radio that can use DMR. You can also get a commercial license that lets you and anyone you allow to use a given frequency however you please within a 20ish mile radius. Took around $500 to get the commercial license but split between us it wasn't too bad. Digital is also really nice since it's significantly harder for others to listen to you and you get your own frequency unless you leave your zone.
Great content and thank you for stressing the importance of communication. Often times its some of the most important things that get overlooked. Keep up the great work.
“Kelly’s Heroes’, Clint Eastwood, Donald Sutherland as “Oddball”, and Carroll O’Connor, among others an awesome movie! You are spot on with your take and execution! I agree the U92 military plug on the downlink and the PTT, is compatible with all military vehicles, ground, and air based!
Just remember radios do not work against military combatants. They can use your radios to triangulate your position or even mimic your voice to a teammate. As for everyone else, a secure frequency is cool but there are even some HAM guys who can find those and listen in. Food for thought
Good tip for everyone watching. Walker Razors ear pro is very good for 1/5 the price. Just ad an external mike to the headset you have something similar quality to comtacs. Save your money and invest in something else.
walker makes some great, inexpensive ears with downlink, and you can pick up a PTT mic that will mount to the side of them for a mic. if you look up defense distributors multimount mic and PTT for baofeng
I have some similar non-down-link amplified earpro on my NVG helmet... but I plant to use that throat mic like I gifted you for my Baofeng UV-5R Plus, as it has an earbud that can go under the earpro as well as a hook-velcro PTT button all integrated.
I have a question that I've been thinking about for quite some time. Should I invest in good gear and training if none of my buddy's are doing the same? I have spent lots of time, research and money on my gear from my rifle, chest rigs, pistol belts, plate carriers, go bags, medical ect. Next step would be a helmet, ear pro and possibly night vision. Should I continue investing in my personal setup? Or should I stop where I'm at because no amount of gear and training is gonna make anyone into a 1 man army?
This is great content.. just a tip. You have incredible high end robust gear but the uv5r is not water proof or shock proof and if it fails everything is done. For another 3o bucks you can get a more robust unit. I have a uv5r and really like it but mine quit working today for absolutely no reason. It got me thinking.. I also have a yaesu ft-65 highly recommend it. Love your content 👊🏼
You’re truly one of a kind with this type of content. Thank you for caring about the things that actually matter. I’ve learned a lot from your UA-cam Shorts.
10:45 Made me laugh. Movie mixing! Here, let me help; Kelly's Heroes - Donald Sutherland (Sergeant Oddball) to Telly Savalas (Sergeant Big Joe) "I only ride 'em I don't know what makes 'em work". BTW, I use the Howard Leights. Great for hunting. It's super ears for sure.
I have the uv5r setup for my motorcycle riding and it works great. The PTT is at my left grip so I can talk no problem . With a good helmet it works well . Then you can switch over for off bike .
When talking about communication, people should talk to somebody who really understands it. Someone Once asked me about. The police Or NSA. Listening To their communications. I told them I can listen on anything. So what do you think they can do? And if your transmitting, you can be tracked.
I'm also setting up a base station with 2 Uv -25x4 radios. With wall maps of my area essentially a COC, combat operations center like we had in Iraq. I was sent to marine corps comm school back in 2003.
Speaking of budgets, you can get a setup for Walker's Razors. If you just want the standard frs channels they have a plug and play unit that clips right on for under $30. Otherwise you can do the same with plugging into a radio.
Nice set up. Also, minor correction. The reference to Donald Sutherland was from Kelly's Heroes; he was never in Hogan's Heroes. Both great pieces of film/ TV.
i use the sordin mil cc, they’re really nice too, i’ve used the peltac’s , i just find that i like the sordins audio is a bit better, but i think the peltacs mic is a bit better. the sordins are also about 100-200$ cheaper, if you need to save money, they are perfectly suitable.
Alternative...ANY electronic ear-pro, hand-held mic to plug into your radidio with a 3.5mm dual-end plug to plug into the ear-pro from mic. Ear-pro is speaker, remote mic is mic with PTT button. MUCH cheaper and 'almost' equivalent.
Sorry, I had to temporarily end my membership. I’m on a fixed income and have some issues. I’ll be back as soon as possible! Thanks for the great content 🙏
Is the video inverted or do you really keep the mic on the right side? If you’re a right handed shooter you’ll want to put the mic on the left ear, and have the PTT on the left side of the carrier and any admin/dump pouch on the left. You’ll want to keep the right side clear for your pistol draw and for your stock to come in when compressed.
If those UV-5Rs and accessories have a slightly higher failure rate compared to other choices, just get spares of whatever units and pieces have shown rational need for backup with programing and preparation for field replacement.
Also to throw off someone triangulating your signal set up some radios with a rig that presses the transmission button every couple minutes as a distraction or you can hot mike a frequency the enemy is using and drop it in the bushes
Baofeng radios can be good, but they have a problem. They have very little, if any, input filtering. So if you live in an area with lots of interference, Baofengs are not a good choice. I'm a ham operator, and I have a Baofeng. I got it for Christmas. When I first tried it, I was visiting relatives in another city. It worked fine. When I got home, in an area with lots of military & defense activity, it was worthless.
As a radio nerd with implanted devices I'd just like to mention that the radio and more importantly antenna need to be at least 2 feet from the implant. The magnetic field created can interfere with the device.
When I was younger I used to play paintball a lot. We would play in wooded areas, abandoned hotels, etc. We never used communications though. That is something that I need to learn more about. I wish I knew of a group of like minded guys around the Houston area.
You need someone to teach you, there is alot more to radio discipline than knowing when or when not to speak, its knowing what to say and how to say it Most radio coms people use code, so you won't understand them anyway, everybody has to be using the same code
I'm a minute in and giggling thinking about Wranglestar larping playing toy soldiers. and me, I only spend my time getting stealth camping equipment and planning hikes I most likely wont get round to doing. We're the same in some ways LOL.
I have a genuine question, I'm no trying to be critical at all I just want to make myself clear. For the coming struggle, are you relying on electronic devices to hold the knowledge that you know about. Or do you keep a library of information. If not would you write a book on your survival tips?
I'd highly suggest y'all consider migrating to an encrypted digital radio. It doesn't have to cost too much more than what you're using now and would be a significant improvement for your group's security. Also, there's a company called Defense Distributors that makes a semi-universal boom mic so that you could convert a non-comm headset like those Howard Leights to a comm headset. They're about $60 so again, not a ton of money to significantly increase your capability.
@@BobBob-il2ku yeah the 878s are great, I have several of them. A bit on the expensive side if you're trying to keep costs low though. The new TYT 390 Plus is submersible and does AES256
3M PELTOR Flexible Dynamic Boom Microphone MT33-05R & 3M™ PELTOR™ Left Side Boom Harness, NATO Wiring, FL6AF These are the part # you need to make your peltors into comms capable ^
Hey brother! Way off topic, but do you still recommend the Timberline chainsaw chain sharpener. Ive been cutting lots of firewood here in alaska, and normally I hit it with a handfile, but was thinking about the Timberline. I appreciate it!
Don't get the Walker Razor's, though they provide sound amplification, they do *_not_* give _directional_ sound. Howard Leight Impact Sports are a very decent entry ear protection model.
Lol I remember when this was a humble homesteading channel and now it's a Christian, anti gov self reliance channel and I'm here for it!!

What about an AR-152?
@marcmmclellan haven't tried it. It looked a little too gimmicky, but it might be totally fine. Seemed a bit big for me to have for an evening outdoors outing with the lads, but it's probably sufficient.

Yes. I guess you need to start somewhere. I wouldn't want to be driving around in the atv or on bikes.
For RDF you can only track the signal when you're transmitting. Today's cellphone is constantly phoning home and transmitting GPS coordinates.
