Walkie talkie recommendations

what walkie talkie do you recommend do talk to your buddies?. I have a vhf but when I bring out buddies I'd like a waterproof walkie talkie to communicate with. Looking for something under 100$ for a pair would be ideal.

If I were you, instead of walkie talkie's, I would invest in another VHF radio and drop down to an agreed channel that nobody really uses. The majority of channels range from 65-75, so anything under that should work.

I bought a pair of waterproof walkie talkies from Bass Pro Shops and use them for talking to my friends while fishing while still reserving the VHF for other things.

Here's a link to the one that I bought a year or so ago. So far I've not had any issues with them and yes, they are waterproof and they float. Good thing too, as I dropped one of them into the drink the first time out with it.

I bring the VHF for general marine purposes. But for chatting with friends on the water, hard to beat the Motorola MS350R. Uses AA batteries once the rechargeable ones included fail in a couple of months. Bought them for kayaking, use them for all kinds of reasons. They came in real handy last month in Sequoia with multiple cars and no cell service.

Great pricing at Amazon.
