If the bag is for a car then it's reasonable to assume that you'll mostly be near roadways. If the intended use of the radio is to contact somebody in the event of an emergency and have them notifiy the authorities then I'd go with the one that would be most likely to have somebody on the other end - I'm thinking that would be CB.
That's closer to what I was intending, this bag will be kept in my car, in fact, "Bug Out Bag" may have been a poor choice of words on my part, "Get Home Bag" is probably better.
Emergency gear to get home, or if stranded to be OK until I can get home.
Southern Illinois is an odd mix, major towns tend to be 15-25 miles apart, with small communities mixed in between, with state routes and interstates connecting them. I know business' use GMRS/FRS a lot, and I even used them myself for the first time last fall deer hunting, but am not sure how much help they would be as an emergency comm.??
