If you’re looking for a rugged, no-nonsense communication tool for your next outdoor adventure or emergency kit, the Midland GXT1000VP4 two-way radios are a solid pick. These radios offer 50 channels and up to a 36-mile range in ideal conditions, making them reliable for staying connected in the backcountry, on the trail, or during a power outage. They come with NOAA weather alerts, an SOS siren, and are splash-resistant—features that add peace of mind when you’re off the grid. The included headsets and rechargeable battery packs are a nice bonus, too. I’d personally grab a set for group hikes or off-road trips where cell service is spotty—it’s just smart to have a backup when things don’t go as planned.

Life is war. That’s not all it is. But it is always that. Our weakness in prayer is owing largely to our neglect of this truth. Prayer is primarily a wartime walkie-talkie for the mission of the church as it advances against the powers of darkness and unbelief.
