What's not so great: Range is extremely poor
I didn't test them in the woods, only in an urban area. I knew I wasn't going to get anywhere near the 35 mile range advertised, but the package said to expect about a 2 mile range in urban areas. I tested it, and only got about 3 blocks before they complete cut out. They probably work much better in the wilderness, but they definitely don't do anywhere near as well as they say.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Good for short distance
What's not so great: Can't replace cell phones. Of course not.
I've found it very reliable for communication b/w our office & warehouse, roughly 400 yards apart.
Hardly works more than 2 miles in urban area.
Never tried in mountainous area.
I would recommend this to a friend!
