So, if you plan to utilize radios, take the time to instruct your group on how the darn things work. There's dials and buttons and not enough time to figure it all out when you're trying to keep up with a speedy pack. Make sure the radios are on the same frequency or channel. We had some issues in June - couldn't communicate well and my group ended up taking a tour of the the Camp for Juvenile Diabetes, altho I kinda enjoyed it. |
Well, our run briefing that morning did kinda get pre-empted by the arrival of the local police chasing us out of the parking lot where we were convening that day, which I think did contribute to a bit of the confusion!
We all live and learn from our experiences, right?
