I've got a couple of 5 watt hand held MB radios put back for just that eventuality.

But living in the midwest I easily get 4-5 miles out of them.

I have an older set that we use fishing, hunting, hiking to keep in touch with each other on the beaches.

They work great in the 2-3 mile tests we have done. A younger relative and his boss use the newer and more expensive ones to contact workers and others up and down a 12-15 mile valley.
