Hello all. I've searched the forum and have not found anything that answers my question I hope that you all can help.

I'm very interested in getting my license. My main purpose is to learn something new. My secondary purpose is for communication in an emergency outside of cell range. I ride a motorcycle and hike in remote areas in the tri-state area of Utah, Nevada and Arizona. My question is how viable a solution is a quad band ht or dual band ht for contacting someone in a break down or emergency situation. I'd be looking at a radio that works on the 2m/6m/440/220 range. Would it be dependent on what repeaters are in the area or if someone is monitoring a frequency? What are your thoughts?
