RE: 2 way radios...
My hunting buddies and I all bought the Gharmin Rhino 120's a couple years back and they are the best electronic piece of gear I have ever had. We used them in the Ungava caribou hunting and their 5 mile range was actually an understatement I thought. The GPS addition is great for marking where you shot from, and where the animal fell if you have to make a couple of trips to get them out. It also gives you a safety factor because if you get hurt you can key in the radio and your buddies can see where you are and come help you. Worth every penny IMO.
