Day 19 of the Advent(ure) Calendar: Family Simplex Practice.

Families don’t “figure it out” under pressure. They fall back on what they’ve practiced. Simplex — radio-to-radio with no repeaters or internet — is the backbone of any family plan. It’s direct, predictable, and always there when everything else is busy or down.

Short practice. Clear instructions. No stress.

That’s how confidence is built.

Today’s action:
Pick one FRS, GMRS, or MURS pair and run a 2-minute family check.

“I’m on Channel X. Can you hear me?”
“Loud and clear.”
“Switch to our backup and check in again.”

Two minutes is enough.
