I'd like a recommendation for radios club overnight yurt/hut trips, and I know others have put way more thought into this than I have. I know the club usually uses a higher GMRS channel.

Want the obvious, in rough priority order:

long range in forest / mountains

reasonable battery life

simple to use

able to recharge/replace batteries on multi day trip; I have some of those batteries packs with usb output for phone recharging that could be used to recharge?

lightweight - longer battery life more important

I'm not particularly price sensitive; above more important

Thoughts on these?
