Ostensibly to call for help if the car broke down or ran out of gas.

Back in the 70s I think the cops used to monitor CB CH 9 as the emergency channel. Even radios today mark it that way.

In reality, we never needed it and it was fun to listen to the truckers and occasionally talk to them.

Oh also the CB, bought new in 1977, came with a CB Lingo booklet lol

For four wheeling we go in groups of 2+ so just use it to keep in touch and make sure nobody gets left behind in back and make sure we all know which turns to make in the maze of dirt roads / trails.
