CB radio is an essential tool for preppers because it's cheap, easy to access, and many people already own one. Unlike more complex systems, CB radios require minimal setup and can be easily operated without specialized training. Additionally, improvised antennas often work well with CB radios, making them a versatile and reliable communication method during emergencies when traditional networks fail.

Don't forget the Antenna! It's the Most Important part of your system!
