It's that time of year where school sporting events along with camping and hiking trips become the norm virtually every weekend as fall weather hits its peak.
Of course, there's plenty of must-haves that every event or trip needs, and that includes reliable communication when cell service can get spotty or questionable in various areas.
Thankfully, we may have found that solution in the Midland GXT67 GMRS 5‑Watt Walkie Talkie. As one reviewer described the two-way radio, it's "built like a tank." Between its heavy-duty IP67 waterproof design and long-extending battery life, you'll be able to communicate clearly with others no matter the location, making it one of the best gifts for campers.
For anyone looking to ditch their phones and ensure crisp
and clear communication during your next sporting event or trip to the mountains, this walkie talkie may be the solve. Check out more details below and learn what other customers had to say about it.

On top of all its other specs, the menu interface is user-friendly, so you don't have to feel puzzled in an emergency situation. Each radio comes with a belt clip, cable, AC wall charger, car adapter and case.

What shoppers are saying about it
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I've been running around with this radio in Baja for the past month. It's done close to 3,000 miles with me and counting. About to do another 1,500 to Cabo and back. It's been on multiple boat trips and in the water several times. It's been a busy month! This is hands down the best handheld GMRS I've every hand my hands on. The quality of the build is obvious and the charging system that comes with it is great for throwing it in my truck." — Midland USA customer review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The stand-out feature of this repeater capable GMRS handheld is that it is actually user friendly. The menus and user interface are easy to understand and configure." — Midland USA customer review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I purchased my GXT67PRO direct from Midland, along with the programing cable and a regular belt clip. I didn't care for the clip that comes with the radio. I downloaded the programing software and was making a file while waiting for the radio to arrive which came in a timely manner. One of the things I did was to name the channels and repeaters. I'm very pleased with its operation and simplicity. I'm not sure where my repeater is located, but it hits it just fine, and the radios audio quality is great." — Midland USA customer review
