As for a suggestion to use the USFS system, this is a very bad idea 
unless
you are literally dying. There are large penalties for using an 
unauthorized
frequency.

Isn't knowledge of emergency frequencies part of the radio license 
testing? If my old and moldy memories serve me, there are 
frequencies/channels on just about every band designated as emergency 
channels, although I've heard the one used by the HAM bands is abused 
somewhat.  If you have a radio capable of transmitting on a USFS 
frequency, you'll probably have/will need a license. Once again, your Y 
chromosomes notwithstanding, when all else fails, read the directions!
