I found a military medic bag to use for my trauma kit. It came empty so I checked various resources and used some of my personal experience (I worked as an EMT just out of high school) to build a list of what was needed. Then to save a few bucks I purchased what I needed from a local drug store...

I'd highly recommend signing up and QRZ.com. They are a good resourse for hams and they have free practice tests. The best part about the practice tests is that the questions and answers are the exact same ones on the real test. The only difference is the order the answers are in. Here is a...

Yes it is the one the ARRL is currently selling.

Sounds like a good way to spend Field Day. I'm running the one for the fire dept, we usually pull out the Conn van and throw in some emergency preparedness to boot.

Yes very true. I was just suggesting a "work around" that is legal. I'd rather see his friends get their ticket. it is easy and fun. Speaking of fun Field Day is coming.

Congrats!!!

With the Baofengs he can always program the MURS channels in it and use those. It is legal and runs a bit more power than the FRS stuff (0.5w for FRS 2w for Murs).

Yes, a copilot is invaluable. She usually takes all the Comms duties, from radios to cell phones. I spend my time driving the car. I'm a Volunteer Examiner (we give ham radio license tests). The youngest person I signed off on was a 9 year old girl. So, if a bright 9 year old can get a ham...

Yes it does! On a side note the Beverly Hillbillies "rig" is an Oldsmobile.

I think at one point that was a "selling feature" for Land Rover. It is also a great place to set tools with fixing things.

Having an "older" rig allows me to do other things beyond Overlanding. This weekend I took Oliver to a car show. We had a great time and a lot of interest in Oliver.

Thanks!!

That is one of my favorites, I found to on eBay by accident.

Here are the Stickers on Oliver.

Nice!

Hello to the OB Member who has the MARPAT Jeep Wrangler 4 Door with the USMC logo just below the OB Badge. I saw you on 101 headed North at around 1:30 today. I was in the white Crown Vic with all the antennas that was pasing you for a bit as I was checking out your rig. It looked really cool.

Nice photos!!

I'm in shaky California. At some point we are going to get hammered by "the big one" and our plan has always been set up in the Land Rover. It also makes going on quick weekend trips that much easier as most everything is already packed.

Good Question, I think I did that with the 4 or 4s. I'm up to a 6 now. It is easy to use and does surprisingly well. I did have issues with it at night or in dark places, just be aware. Memory is good but you'll want to download them to your computer and make sure you back up your photos. As...

Yeah, that is always the tricky part... You are right we are pretty close. We should meet up some time for coffee.
