  1. Excellent video. Your idea of replacing the Motorola’s with the Baofeng
    will also give the safety of redundancy should the unmentionable happen to
    the Yaesu.

  2. Excellent video, well produced and good content for what you cover. But I
    can’t think of a scenario where this bag would be helpful where you would
    not also want some basic first aid supplies, a simple flashlight, a
    multitool or swiss army knife (or both), some rope (paracord), maybe some
    zip ties, etc. Meaning while I think this is excellent, it appears
    deficient for anything except hobby radio enjoyment during non-emergency.
    In a real emergency you’ll want some capabilities besides communication.
    I’d be tempted to drop the two walkie talkies as this is a small sized kit
    anyhow and replace with a flashlight, multitool and mini first aid kit.

  3. You have a unique voice. Nice adaptation of a first aid kit and a well
    organized kit overall. Informative. Great idea to budget for emergency
    supplies.

  4. just a couple minor observations, first thanks so much for sharing your
    setup, very well done sir. How about an all-weather softcase to help
    further protect your radio if it gets used during less than ideal
    environmental conditions? Here’s the sort I’m talking about, it probably
    won’t fit your as I selected a random one: (sorry my link died} Also you
    might consider a “write in the rain” note tablet, and a space pen of some
    kind to round it all off.

  5. You have an NPR voice 🙂 and for persons with a few extra dollars look at
    the amateur radio Hand helds that have AM radio receive as well then you
    can get local radio all in one package.
