IMHO, CBs are great for traveling in a group. But if you are
running legal power levels, they don't have very great range.
Cellular coverage is VERY spotty. You can sometimes pick up a
distant cell tower up on a high ridge, but generally they won't
work. We carry a Globalstar satellite phone, mainly for emergencies.
It's a bit pricey, but in an emergency it would seem worth every
dollar.
