Barry Harper

Hi there, I'm Barry Harper, and I've spent decades honing my survival and emergency communication skills, particularly within HAM radio operations. My journey began with a fascination for radio technology and a deep-seated desire to be prepared for any scenario life might throw at me. HAM radio has always been a cornerstone of my preparedness strategy. I've extensively worked with Baofeng and Quansheng radios, understanding their capabilities and limitations in emergency situations. Through trial and error, I've developed efficient setups and protocols that I share with others through my books. Survival skills are more than just a hobby for me; they're a way of life. I've explored various aspects of self-sufficiency and preparedness, from water purification methods to off-grid living techniques. One of my passions is exploring off-grid solar power solutions. As an outdoors enthusiast, hunting and fishing aren't just recreational activities but practical survival skills.
