I must respecftully disagree. You are creating an unlikely and overly-complex hypothectical to justify a flawed premise. DO NOT TRUST YOUR LIFE TO AN FRS RADIO.
Back up there bud, I never said you should trust your life to an FRS radio, nor did I imply you should use that over, say, an Amateur radio. All I said was that they might prove useful with regards to communicating with each other outside of shouting range, certainly better than nothing at all, and that is not a flawed premise. Of course getting an amateur licence is the way to go.
