I have a set in the clipper. Don't use them that often as I usually camp alone (can talk to myself without technology). They have come in handy during several instances when I've been out with others:
1. caravaning with other vehicles - "anyone need a gas stop", etc.
2. one in each RV in the campground at night - great to be able to say "you up yet?" or "look outside, there's a bear/deer/racoon in our camp", etc.
3. during the day while camping - rarely have cell phone coverage, so these come in handy for location updates, etc. This is the most limited use as you can't be too far apart for the radios to work especially in forests.
I also used them when my Dad was ill. He kept one by his bed and if he needed something in the middle of the night, he pinged me. I couldn't hear him call from where I was sleeping and the beep of the radio woke me up quickly.
