Survival Communication During SHTF - Midland 75-822
Check out Indoor Survivalist.com for more survival tips, tricks, and reviews.
In a SHTF scenario, communication is going to be vital. During Hurricane Sandy, there were people charging a $10 fee for people to charge their cell phones. People paid the fee because they were in desperate need to get in touch with their loved ones.
I bought the Midland 75-822 several month ago, but never posted a review. I’m still learning how to use it, so forgive me if this review isn’t as in depth as you might like it to be. You can read the reviews on Amazon, and they will help you fill in anything that I’ve missed.
The Good
The price is decent at $79.00 and it has pretty good reviews. It’s very lightweight and pretty easy to use. I think my favorite feature is the automatic scanner, which lets me find active channels, hands free.
For those of you that travel at night, it has a strong green back light that allows you to see in the dark. In fact, the light is so powerful that you can use it in the day time too, and see it clearly.
The Bad
Without the extra antenna, you only get a few miles communicating radius. However, with the addition of the Wilson Little Wil antenna, you can extend that radius up to 10-30 miles depending on weather conditions.
The Ugly
I don’t think I’ve discovered anything that I find unbearable. Perhaps the only thing would be how easily you can accidentally change the memory settings for channels, but I always use auto scan, so its not that big of a deal for me.
Total Investment
If you are on a small budget, save up for this one. Its definitely worth adding.

Watched a bit of the Charlie Rose TV program tonight and he was talking to three others about how the Chinese military had supposedly hacked into some US defense systems. They discussed a possible Cyber Attack, or Cyber “Pearl Harbor”, occurring in the very near future. They also discussed the possibility that a non-military attack on a US corporation might cause this corporation to take action, without the governments knowledge, by conducting a cyber attack on the attacking nation, thereby setting off a cascade of events. They setting the stage, or what?

NO problem. Just grab some liberals you know and use them as human shields so they can get a first hand look at the problem they caused.
Grab the nearest liberal, plenty of them around. Washington is loaded with them and you should have no problem.
