People often think they have to wait until they can afford the biggest and 'best' pieces of survival equipment. But that's not always the case, as you'll see in today's lead story. Sometimes, getting what you can afford, whether more experienced preppers and survivalists mock your purchase or not, can be the small thing that saves your life.

This real-life survival story takes place on one of the US's most remote trails. Without this cheap ham radio and some improvisation, the hiker's rescue may have failed.

Does anybody else think the concept of a "radio bag" is awesome? Do we have any ham radio operators out there? How about someone with a Baofeng? Share your knowledge with us and the other readers in the comments section.
