I hate that I missed the obstacle course and blind fold driving. Is it still available to use?

You forgot MURS. 🙂

Do not discount CB radio. On the highway truckers use CB thus CB is excellent on road trips, not so with FRS nor GMRS. On a road trip there was not one GMRS person, what we picked up were restaurants and warehouse workers and the like communicating. For useful road information it was all by CB. Yes, I have my GMRS license, and an ole CB license call sign as well; showing my age here. In my SUV I would not want to be on a road trip without a CB.

GMRS and FSR transmit on the same frequencies and HAM can also. Power is the only difference. As long as you don't cause problems, you should be safe using a HAM or GMRS without a license on the FSR/GMRS frequencies. So i wouldn't worry about a license.

GMRS radios have removable antennas as well and GMRS license is shareable for immediate family only! Just my 2c.

Man, I’ll let you slide because you have a Georgia shirt on but I gotta say this, your information is terribly inaccurate. I’m pretty sure you did it on purpose just for comments but if I were you, I would take this one down and study a little more on it then redo it. 😂😂 ROLL TIDE…

Every GMRS radio I’ve ever bought has a removable antenna and all my GMRS radios are FCC approved. The way to go is buy a radio that has GMRS and HAM frequencies. Like the Radioddity GS-5B or the Tidradio TD-H3. Last you can program a HAM or GMRS radio to transmit and receive all the FRS frequencies easily. Just punch in the frequency for channels 1-7, select low power, and narrow band in the settings. My Tidradio and Radioddity both can cover FRS, GMRS and HAM in one radio. No need to load up your dash with 3 different communication devices. CB is low power and outdated.

Canada doesn't require a licence for GMRS - Switching as soon as possible.

I can remove the antenna on my H8 GMRS radio , also did not hear you talk a MURS . cheap and better than FRS

To many on the trail at one time

Awesome video

I was born and raised in this area. It’s sad that you can’t go all the way to church cemetery any more, there a gate about a mile or 2 from it now because there was some fellow jeepers destroying the land around the cemetery, plus lot people didn’t know that 90% of cashes valley is privately owned there was there driveway that they had to keep up love y’all’s video

Good morning hope all is well...asking if you all are in the Taylorsville NC area....found a group Foothills Jeep Brigade...good people but they don't really ride...I ride a lot alone with wife...seeing if you all are in the area...

CB is still good and even better if the band is quite. With CB some days you can hear people and if you are near a major roadway there may be someone just listening. I am sure they are more people on than you hear. A CB Signal will fade and become low because it's AM like a AM Radio station fades and becomes faint you may hear it but volume is low. Also depends on the Antenna. There are people who install a CB and install a little bitty antenna. CB Requires a long Antenna at least 33 " and having a good SWR is very Important.

When you turn the squelch to maximum on CB you have effectively eliminated everything accept someone standing right next to you. There are thousands of conversations going on on the CB band at any given time. There is where the problem is. CB conversations bounce all over the continental United States because of the bandwidth. CB is not good for local conversations mainly because of illegal amplifiers boosting their power. Stick with GMRS, loosen that set screw and add an antenna to your roof and you will really enjoy the range. External antennas are perfectly legal on GMRS. One license for a non related group is not.

We used CBs for hunting in the 80s , you could hear people from 500 miles away speaking Spanish,but not pick up the guy 1/2 mile away you were hunting with. We swapped to VHF in the 90s ,and mainly use GMRS

I can remember going down those roads many years ago in a VW and having no problems whatsoever 🤔 much less having to reduce air pressure.

You must be a politician. Full of bs and lies and misinformation and don't know what you are talking about. Repeaters aren't everywhere. Few and far between in michigan. They cost a lot of money to buy and maintain. A lot you can't access unless you belong to their club or pay an access fee to join. You can buy a cheap baofeng ham ht for less than 20 dollars and transmit if that's what you want to do on gmrs, illegally. Almost all gmrs radios have removable antennas. If you want distance cb is king. I regularly talk hundreds to thousands of miles on mine. Longest contact was England. Try that on a repeater.

This video is full of bad information

Hey fun video man ! Quick question aren't there 2 trails ? An easy one and advance one?

this is loaded with misinformation

I run cb & gmrs. Most of the off roaders & overlanders in SW & SE OH run both.

Frs is allowed 2 watts of power

0:36 got me in the feels.....

If nobody is in CB then thats the best time to use CB. The band would be all yours. Also GMRS license covers you and your immediate family, not buddies. HAM is better for long range communication through repeaters and you need to take a test and get license for it. For the trails, CB and GMRS is king. GMRS also has repeaters.

Free men don’t ask for permission.

You should check out MURS. It is very similar to FRS, but on the VHF frequencies (which work better outdoors) and can use an external mag mount antenna, which makes a huge difference in range. The radios cost about the same as GMRS. CB radio is far better now than it was in the 1970s BECAUSE no one is on it. In the 70s so many people were on it that you couldn’t actually get a message through. There now the are FM CB radios that helps clarity in many situations. FRS are 2 watts on most of the channels. We have a GMRS in the front and back, and FRS radios in between. That helps make sure that everyone stays in touch. The 6 meter/79cm Ham radios have no range advantage over GMRS, given the same wattage and antenna. You can change antennas on GMRS radios. Some will not let you remove the antenna in order to pass FCC emission standards.

How do we get the shirt ? I will be there for sure

More bad information. You can change the antenna on a gmrs. It is not a "FCC no no" You happen to have a radio that is pinned. No your shiit before giving people information, junk information

Negative, your license only covers you're immediate family, not your buddies on the trail with you.

It’s citizen band not civilian band. I believe the GMRS license only covers family members. Doesn’t cover others in your group that aren’t related.

That's looks like a pretty cool event. Where was it at? And do you think there will be another event in the future?

The boefang mgrs uv5r is $30 <> and can do that

The new f.m. cb is better than a.m. only radios. But if skip is running hi not much local is going on. Skip can take over the band. Also licensed gmrs ( on repeater capable gmrs that can monitor ham) ham can monitor gmes and gmrs can monitor ham band. Both will transmit legal to each other.

Nice ride. Other than not as many rocks and two way traffic it looks like a road in Virginia that Garmin took me on over a mountain past log cabins and cemeteries. It would have been fun in a Jeep, not so much in my class c motorhome

i think a honda civic could make it up that road just fine....

I have a cj7 never get to use thanks for the video take care.

I'm a ham license and an overlander. I'll never understand why you guys that ride in big groups need any communication device with a license just to talk three or four vehicles in front of you. That is the one area where CB is king.

I would like to join an adventure how is it. I live in Georgia. that I have to do?

So are there ham radio police that will come and get you for transmitting If you don't have a license? Same goes for GMRS?

FWIW Ham radios can use much more power, Handhelds like that one can transmit/receive at the VHF level which travels much farther than UHF (FRS/GMRS). As of April 30, 2020 you can take the technician level Amateur radio test online (technician is the ham radio level that allows VHF/UHF communications).

how long did it take to do old buck road and nimble?

i may or may not like near here

This is a fun road and a beautiful ride. Thanks for the video and help a fellow GA Jeeper out get my channel up and going at @BiancaGreenJeep, thanks and God Bless

Great video. Mistype on the title... Nimblewill Gap . you have a "u" so if people are trying to find video by keywork they wont see it.

Man, bless y’all! Sending good vibes for a speedy recovery to your Jeep friends!

Awesome, I've been wanting to try these two. Any coordinates for the trail heads or directions?

Nice. Great weekend for wheeling. I was up at Tray in Helen. 2 trails closed because of wash outs and folks tearing them up. SUX ....

What’s the coordinates for this?
