00:00If your go bag has a Baofeng radio in it, the radio itself is only half the setup and the
00:04wrong accessory can leave you deaf to your own team.
00:07I spent time digging through the best deals out there so you don't waste money on gear that breaks in
00:12the rain.
00:13These are the top 5 Baofeng radio accessories for survival preppers, and I'm telling you exactly why each one earned
00:19its spot.
00:21First up is the 2-pin soft ear hook earpiece headset.
00:25720, nearly 5000 sold, and a rating that people clearly don't regret.
00:30The soft ear hook sits around the back of your ear instead of pressing a plastic bud into your canal,
00:35so you can wear it for hours without your head aching.
00:38There's a proper PTT and a little mic boom, which means you can talk with your hand actually holding something,
00:43a rifle, a shovel, a crying kid.
00:46For a bug-out bag or a night patrol, this is the cheapest way to make a Baofeng invisible and
00:51comfortable.
00:53Number 2 is the 2-pin to 3.5mm adapter cable, and honestly it's the smartest $5 you can spend.
01:00Your Baofeng uses a 2-pin connector, but almost every headset and earpiece in the world uses a standard 3
01:06.5mm plug.
01:08This tiny adapter bridges the gap, so the earbuds you already own suddenly work with your radio.
01:14Same reason every manufacturer built it, same reason every prepper needs it.
01:19Third is the Baofeng UV-K5 external microphone and speaker at 878.
01:24Here's the thing about the built-in mic on a UV-5R, it's fine across a room, terrible across a
01:30field.
01:31Clip this to your shoulder or dash and suddenly you're talking to a driver 30 feet away, or listening to
01:36a patrol that a block away from your vehicle.
01:39It fits the UV-5R, the 888S, the UV-21, UV-17GPS, UV-13, 16, 188S9, the Quanching K5, and
01:48the Fiverr Plus.
01:50One mic, half a dozen radios.
01:53Fourth is the heavy-duty throat mic with the U94PTT, 1965, and it's the priciest on the list for a
01:59good reason.
02:01Instead of picking up air, it picks up the vibrations in your vocal cords, so it transmits loud and clear
02:06with almost no background noise, wind, generators, engines, all of it just fades away.
02:11It also means you can speak in a near whisper without anyone hearing you.
02:16Hands stay on the wheel, on the pack, on the tool.
02:19Fifth is the Urmer M51PTT adapter for tactical headsets, 1278.
02:25This one's for when you already own real tactical gear, the ear pro defenders, the boom mics, the setup you'd
02:31grab for an airsoft match or a competition shoot.
02:34This adapter plugs your headset into a bow phone and gives you proper radio control, so you can run a
02:39calm setup that looks and functions like the pros use, not a cheap plastic walkie-talkie earpiece.
02:45Alright, that's my 5.
