CRD now requires all who enter the Water Shed to have a VHF Radio. Here is the application form for a Radio License
The license is issued by: INDUSTRY CANADA
Yes you can have another person’s VHF radio that can transmit, receive and has our authorized programmed channel. This being stated by Nathan if several of you mine together all of the time, then I believe one radio is sufficient to be recorded with CRD by both or three or how many users but they do have to be identified. Some claims are duly owned, as such one radio between two is sufficient.
Fire Extinguisher: Must be carried in each vehicle rated 5LB ABC.
Note: Members have no legal right to sue the club for any injury sustained as you can not sue yourself. A Placer Claim of which title is not held and one is injured, as tenure holders don’t possess the land they cannot be sued.
