But, having one and not being able to legally practice because you aren't licensed is pretty useless because you'll have no idea how to use it. If you haven't got your license yet, it's time to get off the couch and get going! It's very easy to pass the test, if you pay attention in the class you're pretty much guaranteed to pass. With the class being free, all you've got to do is go spend a morning at BYU to get it. The license itself is $14.00 and you'll still have to pay that.
A lot of people have written up their thoughts and their experiences about going through the Herriman “Machine Gun” fire 19 September 2010. I’ve had some friends ask me to do the same. One friend asked me to specifically to highlight the preparedness aspect of our experience.
Congratulations are in order for all those who earned their Technician class license at the last one day class!

Ham Radio: Emergency Communication
<img class="alignright" src="http://interwork.sdsu.edu/fire/photo_gallery/images/jgfire213021x011.jpg" alt="" width="334" height="197" />This is the fifth installment of the Evacuation Preparedness Kit Series. The first post, on <a href="../2009/06/ready-for-anything/">Evac Prep Basics</a> is here, and the second post, which introduces the <a href="../2009/06/ready-for-anything/">Evac Prep Master List</a> is here. The third post, and the <a href="../2009/06/evacuation-preparedness-categories/">first post on the list review is here</a>. This post will pick up where we previously left off in reviewing the categories on the Master List.
The UtahPreppers site is our attempt to help make our personal experiences in preparedness a little easier for people to learn from. Some people like going beyond this simple site to intertact more often, and a popular tool for this is a forum. Now instead of going out and hosting our own form, we felt it better to work with others in this matter. Because of the nature of our state, we have been giving our support to two separate forums out there, <a href="http://ldspreppers.com">ldspreppers.com</a> and the <a href="http://americanpreppersnetwork.net/">APN forum</a>. Obviously the LDS Preppers forum encourages a community with a religious focus, for our LDS readers. But also we collaborate with the rest of the American Preppers Network, and have a channel on their for <a href="http://americanpreppersnetwork.net/viewforum.php?f=80">Utah specific discussions</a>.
