Brothers I really enjoyed this video on basic communications when things aren't going according to SOP or Poop hits the fan. I taught my wife and 2 grown daughters how to Shoot, Scoot, and Communicate. Keep doing what you're doing. Also Brothers your particular ministry is much needed. Also this video talks about Prayer. I get up for my daily Prayer at 3:00am nightly.I have never had to set my clock alarm to do this. Jesus woken me up for 3:00am Prayer for 8 years now. Jesus has kept me through 6 strokes even when man told my family that I must be cousin of "Bob Hope, No Hope. Jesus kept me while I was in the ER. Brothers keep doing what you're doing. God is using you to save lives. Brothers have a blessed day 🙏
So glad comms is starting to get more attention in the community. For a long time all comms were was buy a baofeng. Between NC scout and Mojave repeaters philosophy, comms in this community are going to be great!
Tech Prepper, S2, The Comms Channel, and many others are contributing a lot of good work in the space, too. Personally, I'd like to see more attention to the 6M and 10M space. A lot of added capability in affordable, backpackable, mobile radios.
NC Scout is a wealth of information and all around good dude. Well worth just sitting down and listening to whatever truth bombs he has time to drop on everyone.
Love this, brother. Thank you. One thing I've grown to understand with a little age is community. If you have good community, you have ( almost ) no need for any large government. And they can't stand that.
Good stuff. I highly recommend getting NC Scout's books. Easy to read, clear, and concise. That jungle antenna is great. Easy to make and rolls up small enough to fit in a pocket. I cut mine for VHF, but its also resonant on UHF. The Baofeng works, its not the greatest on receive. I have had some problems using them with a yagi antenna. They are good for getting into radio. You will get better performance with other HTs should you decide to step further into the radio world. HF radio is where the real fun (and frustration) is.
Nice work. BAOfengs are a great tool to affordably open the door to comms for new peeps. I give them as gifts to wet the feet. Once people learn on these they can decide on higher quality comms. Side note: we need to build a bigger more effective community for comms and patriots to come together. I dont see enough of this out there on nets etc. The wind is blowing harder...GODSPEED PATRIOTS

40:37 Antennas do play a huge role in getting a legible signal out to your intended recipient, but the fidelity and purity of signal sent/received/translated by the transceiver is similarly important. It doesn’t matter that my antenna can transmit or receive a signal from 20 miles away, if the signal I am transmitting/receiving lacks purity/fidelity, then I am limiting my practical range.
It's a good book with some great information, and I really like the easy to read font, but it's a little bit on the amateur side as far as editing goes for the price. There's many grammatical errors; the menu section isn't great in terms of completeness, the fact that he says to set squelch to 1 which is not a good idea for general use, and he says that BCL on menu 13 is for the backlight and it's not. That's busy channel lockout. Menu #6: ABR is the backlight options. Also the book states that putting the radio into dual watch mode (TDR) allows the radio to receive on both displayed frequencies simultaneously, which it doesn't. I think most people would understand what is meant though, and would realize that if the radio did receive both frequecies simultaneously then a person wouldn't understand either transmission because they'd be all jumbled into each other, so that's mostly semantical. These are just minor critiques, but I mention them because I view the book along the lines of a field manual, and we can get field manuals with similar amounts of content on whatever topic they cover for under $15, and ones with much more substance per topic for the price of this book. $22 isn't expensive, but it's about a $12-$15 book to be honest.
Presently use variety of UV-82's, UV-9R's and DM-1701's. Not a lot of DMR in our area...repeaters are well out of range of HT's. The digital radios in the field are just for rainy day options. Presently finishing build on two Lillygo T-beam Supremes to have back up [extra options] to a "dedicated" Samsung A14's. Considering AR-152's. Can I use a splitter arrangement to run both to my PTT > to my ears/mic...and also to a Wifi tablet [in chest pouch]. Would not be used at the same time, but like the idea of not having to switch stuff around in the field.
I have a HAM radio and GMRS. Currently I have my GMRS license and going to get my HAM license later on. The GMRS does not require taking a test like the HAM license does. Both of my hand-held radios are Baofeng. They are inexpensive and work. HAM is a lot more involved. GMRS is easier to get into, also uses repeaters to extend comms range. GMRS you use channels (preset freqs) with HAM you go straight to the feqs but can program channels. I am no HAM expert and would need NC Scout's expertise. For that matter I am no GMRS expert, but I am licensed and know how to use it.
You've got the basics, bro! Get Gordon West's "amateur radio technician license" book, read a little bit at a time, and you'll be ready to take the license test before you know it! 👍
Ironically i get annoyed by sad hams all of the time, and its strayed ne away from advancing at times, but i still dont know everything as i gear up to get my General and Extra. I been learning more off Not a Rubicon and i now wished i started with GMRS as a technician. But i find his humor comical and educational, but i atill doubt ny local ham club and i hear negative things about them often. So im slowly learning what i can.
I own some Baofengs, but I believe in the tools not toys doctrine and build capability and capacity. With that I would rather buy once cry once. I think that the Baofeng with mods is a tool. I think you can build a comms capability with them and then build volume. The Baofeng is cheap to buy the base radio, but by the time you add all the mods it isn't really any different then any other radio that doesn't need mods.
Without attending a class at brushbeater and being astute at not acting like you are in the filming of 0 dark thirty, playing with this stuff is equivalent to painting bright orange bullseyes on yourself and everything you've been near.
I got an ar 152 and the field version of the book. Radios hurt my brain and my eyes aren’t as good as they used to be. I haven’t learned anything yet. I’m ok being a radio loser but I have to get the basics down at least.
Okay. 1st of all. I love u man! LOL🥴 your show is bad ass. Question 1 is there like a u94 type connection cable that I can integrate my headset and the tablet with APRS all @ the same time? Question 2 does this tablet and aprs cable work on any type of radio such as 10watt Tidraido gen2 H8 ham... ? 3 Question Or do I need a DMR raido To make all this all work? Thank you very much for the video I learned a lot and got my brain ticking thank you. 🇺🇸2A🇺🇸
I need to try building a home made antenna. I would like to be able to reach my family and they're too far for my poor little bow fang by itself. Have the materials and everything maybe I'll try that tomorrow
I am very interested in getting and using comms but this is all so over my head im so far from a tech guy i need comms for me my group and to be able to reach from Arkansas to Louisiana there is no possibility i don't think in me learning how to do all this
I have a several baofeng radio, but i been hearing alot about how they can be easily monitored, given away your position. (Disclaimer) I'm definitely not a comms expert.
All radios are flashlights. This includes lora and digital. There are tools and techniques to determine the direction that invisible light is coming from. Electromagnetic emissions even come out of computers, vehicles, etc. Exercising RF emission discipline is important.
I remember a time, and idk if he still requires this, when NC Scout required everyone to give their private info (SSN, DOB, full name, address, if you were part of a training group, etc..). I had some friends who went to his class and didn't find out until they got there that he required that. They were pissed, and it's the reason I refused to take his class. He has a great class, but I don't trust anyone with that information in the realm of training. I can understand filling out your basic info for a waiver of liability, but the info he was asking for was way too much. What was he doing with this information?
I talk to Jesus on my PTT all the time, he's always on Baofeng radio, the chicom seem to have discovered his direct frequency. Sometimes when I larp at night I see him hanging on the cross through my NODS. I try to approach to eat his body and drink his blood like I do on Sundays but he always vanishes. I think there's some artifact on my tubes.
@@AJohnSmith dude, you are tone policing. Take that somewhere else. If you have the answer to the guys question, then post it. A simple google search will get him squared away.
@@jetskiwillywilly7970 Great stuff, but as with anything, understand the vulnerabilities, and have contingencies not only in place, but master the contingencies.
Is there anyone here that can tell me a decent wire setup that hooks from a beofeng to a ptt that hooks to earpro on a helmet? Im runnin a pair of walkers razor slims on my helmet. Any info would be awesome, just really a cave man to any electronics and just need to know what kind of cables and sizes i need for that kind of hookup. God bless from ole Carolina.
Trying to keep your walker razor 3x AAA going on long ops will be problematic. If you don’t have top end Comms gear ( I don’t ) I suggest keeping your gear simple and separated. Get a trucker mic so even when your earpro is dead you can easily use your radio. You can cover your mic with your hand to muffle the sound while your being a sneaky Assassin ( which is like a very unlikely scenario )
@@GWOTalchem I just read on the last comment, and read the things about the tigrett setup and it works through the earpro with it off or dead. So shouldnt have to muffle it, but preciate it. 🤙

Love the guy
The last 10-12 minutes was the most important part of the video. Keep doing the Lord's work B&H
So much value in this communication of tactics and the Word!
"One ar15 is gonna preform functionally the same as another ar15." Thank you sir. There's a bunch of sigma males who will scream at you over that.
So glad comms is starting to get more attention in the community. For a long time all comms were was buy a baofeng. Between NC scout and Mojave repeaters philosophy, comms in this community are going to be great!
Cause the average person couldn't afford a 3 or 400 or more radio
Don't forget S2 Underground's contributions.

What a great video. Thanks Barrel Hatchet and NC Scout. These resources will help my family team with a huge deficiency in our preps.
Preparedness community definitely needs more commo content.
I hear you! Big issue patriots need to communicate more outside the usual ie internet etc.

The ending was my favorite part. Love that you are witnessing. Keep it up brother
Thanks for the discussion and thank you for sharing the gospel! Keep up the good work!
Thanks!
So much information I have watch again.
Great watch with great info. The most important message however is the last portion. Seek Jesus and you will find him.
Okay you're show is bad ass! I really appreciate your help and knowledge
NC Scout is an absolute king.
Great conversation.... Thanks Guys!
Scout is the man, glad you guys linked up.
I like those mountain topper radios even those chinese made pixie CW transceiver.
The editing of this video made it so much better great job
Thanks for the message @ the end... Amen
Just when I thought I had enough it got funnier…and more interesting 😂. Appreciate you guys.
Glory to God almighty!

that was awesome, when is part 2?

A Yagi antenna may help you depending on the terrain/distance between you and those you are trying to reach.
Depending on your terrain, you may just need to get the antenna higher.
Depending on the distance, you may need something else entirely.
