"Hi,this is John Stewart, and this is some communication needs that you'll need to address, for going on a camping trip. Going on a camping trip, backpacking trip, anything like that. You need to have ways to communicate. These things can be found in satellite phones, walkie talkies, GPS, stuff like that. All these things come in real handy. If you're going out on the trail with other people, and they're splitting off from you, a walkie talkie is real handy. You can get them from two to three mile ranges. Stay in touch with that person, in case of an emergency. Also cell phones, satellite phones, these come in real handy. Sometimes you don't get reception with them, but you can easily contact people, in case of an emergency, and other people can contact you, also. Lastly, a GPS. A GPS comes in handy, because it tells you where you are in the world. It always gets a reception. It tells you where you are, and it's also going to show the location of other surrounding areas, to where you can easily take the GPS and say, Hey, I want to go here, and it's going to tell you what direction you need to walk in. These are just a few communication things, for choosing a camping trip."
