If you've ever gone Wading in strong waters, you quickly realize that the best safety equipment to bring is a friend. The number of times that I have been saved from a tight spot or saved another by reaching out and grabbing on is proof. Despite staffs, waders, belts and boots, nothing beats a helping hand. Even though most of us are aware of these dangers we don't always stay close together, we wander off, focused on our prize and should any problem arise, no one will hear you ! FHF solution...Walkie Talkies. With these little hand-held radios you can stay in touch with your friends for fun and safety.

Most are good up to 26 km last 8hrs before needing to be charged and are quite compact. The average cost is $50, waterproof models may run up to $150
