OUR PLEDGE:
$2 PER RADIO TO OUTDOOR SAFETY

For us, it's always been about the balance between pushing our limits and making it home safely. We also understand that accidents will still happen even with perfect communication. That's why we've donated $2 per radio sold since we first launched Rocky Talkie to support underfunded Search & Rescue teams and have expanded to increase awareness around backcountry Community Channels to prevent winter accidents.

Search & Rescue Award

Announcing the 2025 Search & Rescue Award Grant Receipients 

The SAR Award highlights the often-unseen heroes of the backcountry—volunteers who brave extreme conditions, rugged terrain, and unpredictable emergencies to keep adventurers safe.

Rocky Talkie is proud to announce the recipients of the 2025 Rocky Talkie Search and Rescue (SAR) Awards, recognizing eight exceptional volunteer teams across the U.S. and Canada for their outstanding service and commitment to outdoor safety. This year, $110,000 was distributed to support essential training, life-saving equipment, and operational improvements. 

Backcountry Community Channels

A Community Channel is a radio channel designated for a specific backcountry zone, meant for vital group-to-group communication, such as relaying critical safety information like an accident, avalanche, or other hazard. They are also known as "group monitoring channels" or "common-use radio channels".

Rocky Talkie is committed to help winter backcountry enthusiasts stay safe by collecting known Community Channels into an ongoing list and partnering with local organizations to bring awarness of channels and snow safety.

Partners We Support

We're proud to partner with organizations that make the outdoors safer for everyone. We support partners who are dedicated to education, preparedness, and conservation in the backcountry.
