Offroaders traveling in large or small groups carry CB radios and/or 2 meter
handheld ham transceivers as standard equipment. Cell phones are useless
in the mountains because of spotty coverage and dead zones. The CB/ham radio
options are a Good Thing for solo use in case of breakdowns, and you don't
have to pay any cellphone bill$.
For communicating from front of caravan to tailgunner, there's always
oil-leak Morse code...
