The biggest flaw of all prepper radio lists is that they do not contain knowledge about how easy it is to locate a radio transmitter. Every radio user should do at least one "radio fox hunt" to understand how to locate other people and / or how easy it is to be located.

You can do that even with radios on this list, no special equipment needed.

The problem with prepper anything is that preppers tend to be out to justify buying cool stuff they don't need based on exciting fantasies. I am not personally that different, just self-aware.

The short preparedness lists prepared by the Red Cross, FEMA, local government, etc will have you ready for actually likely disaster scenarios.
