Hello C.C. And thanks for your reply. I'm not so much concerned about public land as when I go out there it's usually with a good size group of guys. My concern is when I'm at a private shooting range, where I'm more likely to be there by myself. Leaving a 2k rifle, a range finder, chrono...

Ok, I sat down today and created two lists from this stuff based on what you guys provided me. 1. Shooting Necessities: This is as it states. Some or all of this category could be added to the Camping category. I wanted to split the list so as to define shooting necessities, V.S. preparing...

Thanks for the info Doka. I took a quick look at the Peltor site, yeah, that's the kind all right. I took a quick look at the radios you mentioned too. I'm making a wish list so I'll have written down all the stuff I would like to have, where then I just have to prioritize it. In my...

Thanks Doka, I'll take a look at your suggestions. T.

Thanks both p03 and m300. P03, I have used that type of radio before on a former job, although the headsets they gave us were crap, I never had a problem with the radios though. Thanks.

I know that I could just shop for this equipment, but I find it very helpful to hear first hand from someone that is actually using it, and be able to ask a few questions. It lightens that feeling you can get when you click to finalize a transaction and have that immediate doubt pop into your...

Getting this from my friend, he said that radio supports public frequencies that can be used. Also legacy frequencies such as A band WiWi that no one uses anymore that very likely would be clear.

P03, Understood. I have yet to purchase the radios. They were recommended by a friend. I would be interested in what you would recommend for that application though, if you wouldn't mind providing the information. I know that I would find that equipment very useful if I had it. Otherwise it...

Hello P03. I would consider any price unless it was way out there. My philosophy is to always try and purchase the best I can afford, although sometimes that may mean months of saving up time. I decided that long distance shooting is going to be my hobby, and I can only afford one of those...

Do any of you have a recommendation for wired voice activated headsets? I have a couple of two-way radios picked out, and I would like to find headsets suitable for a shooter/spotter team at the range or wilderness. Thank you for your help.

Ah, and I was waiting for someone to come up with 550 cord too. I really appreciate all of your responses.

Thanks German, nice post. You got point. I think a headlamp is a good idea. And I was waiting for someone to bring up insect repellant, which the Brits call mozzie.

Hea, that should do the trick.
