you need to find out what ohers are using. I think inexpensive handheld CB radios are the best, but only if others have CBs. But if the others ae using a 5 watt GMRS radio then that's what you need. Compatibility is the issue. Don't forget good old fashion cell phones.
Just re-read your post. If it's just you and your Bro then the two of you can decide. As I said above, I like CBs but the 5 watt radios are fine too.
I'm sure there are hands free for both classes but it will cost a bit, maybe a lot, more. A pair of 5 watt radios go for $75 bucks maybe. Good handheld CB maybe 75$ per.
I have the Midland75-822 CB that plugs into the lighter, or you put on a battery pack and wander around the boonies with it. I paid about $90 on Amazon a few months ago. I also have a pair of the Cobra 5 Watts that were about $60 on sale. I usually use the CB as my buddies have them and you can listen to the truckers for convoy/bear info.
