CB or HAM?

Both.

FRS radios do very well in most locations.

Hello, I just joined the site looking for answers too. I like to go into the woods and I would be using my radio in case of an emergency only. I know that CB radios range is shorter than a HAM and that I would need a licence in order to operate the HAM radio.

What should I buy CB or HAM?

Please advice.
Thank you

1. your cell phone.

2. a ham ht, preferably more than 1 band.

3. a fully charged sarsat epirb.

these are listed in priority.
