Some of us like to go off the grid periodically to get away from things, while others find themselves forced off the grid as a result of flooding, fire, or some other misfortune. No matter what the reason, I find having the right tech can help stay in touch with the world at your own terms when things are going well, and allow you to summon help and remain in touch with family members during emergencies.

Want a way to stay in touch without having to rely on the cellular network then you want some two-way radios.
In my experience the cheap consumer radios are junk and barely work when you can see the other person, but if you invest in something a little more professional then you'll have a bit of kit that you can rely on when the going gets tough.
Motorola units get my vote every time, as they are durable, well made, and have a good transmit range.
