A newly licensed ham wants to buy a rig that will let them communicate for help when in the desert.. What band, rig, antenna (mobile) is suggested?

Who is he going to communicate with?

More than likely, this will dictate the equipment he will need, unless he is going to buy equipment for everyone!

For example, I did a search and found some recommendations for 4 wheel drivers in the Australian Outback
