Videos tagged with Emergency Communications

This video focuses on the critical aspect of emergency communications, particularly for individuals in preparedness scenarios. It highlights the importance of being able to communicate when standard methods fail. The content introduces the concept of creating a quick-reference communication card to help users quickly understand and operate their radio equipment and identify relevant frequencies during an emergency. This is presented as a practical tool for enhancing situational awareness and response capabilities in critical situations.

This video provides an unboxing and demonstration of a new Iridium satellite phone, highlighting its importance for preppers and bug-out bags. The presenter, former CI Officer Jason Hanson, emphasizes the phone's global coverage, even in polar regions, and its reliability when traditional cell towers are down. He walks through the setup process, including inserting the battery and powering on the device outdoors, and demonstrates making a call to showcase its ease of use.

This YouTube video features Jake from @gridbasedotnet discussing and answering common 'noob' questions related to firearm communications, as indicated by the title "Cross-Country Comms." The description explicitly mentions that the full video is available on YouTube and includes the hashtag #dirtycivilian, suggesting a focus on practical firearm use and potentially preparedness or tactical applications. The content appears to be introductory and educational for those new to the subject of reliable communication in various environments, likely with a firearms or outdoor/preparedness context.

This guide details how to implement the Wilderness Protocol for survival communications, as explained by Josh Nass, a Ham Radio Expert. It covers essential radio programming, battery conservation techniques, and field charging solutions using power banks and up-converter cables. The protocol emphasizes strategic monitoring on the 146.520 MHz frequency to maximize communication effectiveness while preserving power in emergency situations.

This video from Magic Prepper identifies three critical items that SHTF preppers should acquire due to potential future regulation or scarcity. The first is ballistic plate armor, specifically recommending Level 3 or higher for rifle round protection, noting that steel plates are a budget-friendly option. The second is amateur ham radios, like the Baofeng UV-5R, for long-distance communication, emphasizing their potential for regulation despite their utility. Finally, the video suggests stocking up on pet medications, such as amoxicillin and penicillin, as they can currently be purchased online without a prescription and may become regulated in the future.

This guide synthesizes expert advice from Mike Glover and Josh Nass on integrating ham radio into emergency preparedness. It covers essential topics from selecting starter radios like the Baofeng UV-5R to understanding licensing, power solutions, and emergency protocols. The emphasis is on practical application and consistent practice, drawing parallels to firearm proficiency.
