Two-way radios: why a phone is not enough
With Baofeng 25 and Motorola 19, radios are among the largest subcategories here — and the reason is practical.
In the mountains, a gorge, at sea or in forest, mobile signal simply does not exist. A two-way radio does not depend on a network mast — it communicates directly with the other radio.
Where they are genuinely used: group hiking where the party spreads out, camping with children, trips with two cars on roads with no signal, and work on a site, at an event or in a warehouse.
Important on regulation: certain frequencies and power levels require an amateur radio licence in Greece. Licence-free devices operate in specific bands at limited power. If you are unsure what is permitted, ask us before buying — and do not trust advertised range figures, which are measured in ideal conditions with no obstacles.
Sleeping bags: the number to look at
Cocoon and Sea To Summit specialise in mountain sleeping, and the critical figure is the comfort temperature.
Every sleeping bag states more than one number. What matters to you is the comfort temperature, not the "extreme" one — the latter means survival, not sleep, and it is the number used in advertising.
Practical rule: choose a bag rated colder than you expect. In the mountains the night is far colder than the day, and one cold night ruins the following day.
And one thing that gets forgotten: the sleeping mat matters as much as the bag. Cold comes up from the ground — a good bag on bare earth will not keep you warm.
Backpacks and equipment
Deuter with 17 products covers mountain backpacks. The critical factor is not the litres — it is the carrying system.
A proper backpack transfers weight to the hips, not the shoulders. The waist belt is not decorative: it carries eighty per cent of the load. If your shoulders hurt after two hours, the pack is badly adjusted or the wrong size.
Coolers and insulated containers. Igloo and Curver cover food transport. Practical tip: chill the cooler the day before and fill it completely — a half-empty cooler warms up far faster.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a licence for a two-way radio?
- Certain frequencies and power levels require an amateur radio licence. Licence-free devices operate in specific bands — ask us before buying.
- Is the advertised range accurate?
- It is measured in ideal conditions with no obstacles. In mountains or a city the real range is clearly shorter.
- Which number matters on a sleeping bag?
- The comfort temperature, not the extreme rating. Extreme means survival, not sleep.
- Why am I cold with a good sleeping bag?
- Because a sleeping mat is missing. Cold comes up from the ground.
- Why do my shoulders hurt with a backpack?
- The weight should go to the hips via the waist belt. If shoulders hurt, it is badly adjusted or the wrong size.
For the mountains, the three that matter are a proper bag with a mat, a pack that loads the hips, and a way to communicate without a network.
