Yeah, but I hike with people who aren't HAMs. So, a GMRS/FRS set of HT radios is sooooo easy. Even has worked surprisingly well between cars in canyons along I-70 with no line of sight.

Heh, try a 2M radio with a mag mount antenna on the roof. Even without repeaters I've been impressed with the range.
The amateur radio tech license is really easy, I'd say about half is common sense along the lines of do no harm, just an evening or two of studying to get enough of the 30 ish multiple choice questions to pass.
