Yes I agree totaly I forgot about the cb....I also carry FSR/GSM aradios they are crazy cheep and becoming more popular for 4x4ing and they are handy when the wife takes a hike while fixing something on the trail...
casm said:Agreed, but with a slight difference: have both the CB and ham rig.
Most ham radios won't let you get to the 11-metre band that CB operates in, but there are a lot of people out there with only CB radios. Given that you may not always be able to hit a repeater or other ham user, the CB's at least another option - and since most folks on the trails are still using CB, it makes sense to at least have it as a backup.
