[00:00:00] PBN Family, it's time for the Prepper Tip of the Day. Chinzup y'all, let's talk comms for our Prepper Tip of the Day. Before we get specific on equipment, let's talk about the basics, kind of like what comms means. I know for me in my life, I've had a couple times where I've been stuck in a location and I've not been able to either talk or hear
[00:00:28] to the outside world. And that was during a hurricane, both times, one was at the coast and one was here in the mountains of North Carolina. So everybody thinks about prepping and the three B's right? Beans, bullets and band-aids right? But what comes after B? C, comms. So every day we talk, we listen, we process and then we take action.
[00:00:55] A comms plan will help us be more efficient and have a longer range for our talking and our listening. Think about, we've heard on PBN posts talking about the PACE plan, right? Primary, Alternate, Contingency and Emergency, right? You have four things to cover one incident.
[00:01:20] So if we put that in the realm of comms, if we do a PACE plan for comms, we'll have, let's just think the primary is your cell phone. It's what you use. You just carry, everybody's got it with them every day and that's their primary. They talk to their family, their friends, their co-workers with the cell phone.
[00:01:41] An alternate to that is what if you, you know, you just can't make a phone call because it's not socially appropriate to be talking on the phone or because the service is spotty.
[00:01:56] Well, for your alternate plan, you could do texting, you could do emails, some kind of digital communication, which tends to have a better chance of getting through if the cell service is spotty. After that contingency, and you know me, I love to talk about radios.
[00:02:18] So we can talk about all kinds of radios, right? Not specific, but HAM, the amateur bands, the GMRS, the FRS, the little radios that the kids run around with. And you can also think about MeshTastic, which is kind of a little more of a cutting edge, but it's gaining likes. So yeah, so contingency. After that, emergency, your last ditch effort.
[00:02:46] You know, if you can't get your family members or your friends that you're supposed to meet up with, if you can't get them on the phone, they're not replying to texts or emails, and for whatever reason, the radios aren't working, you're down to your last ditch effort. Your pace plan should have something set up where you guys say, okay, if this happens, we're all going to meet up at this location,
[00:03:16] and we're going to wait there for so many minutes or so many hours before we proceed on to the next location. Well, that's it for now. Hope that gets you thinking about doing a comms pace plan for yourself. Thanks for listening to Let's Talk Comms, PBN Prepper Tip of the Day. Looks like there's some turbulence up ahead.
