How are you communicating on the trail or on the road?

A subsidiary question for GMRS and ‘ham’ users:

Communication via simplex (radio-to-radio direct) or relay through a repeater station? My vehicle to vehicle use has been almost entirely simplex.

Great follow-up. For trail/overland travel, nearly exclusively simplex. The exception would be APRS. I do occasionally chat to others (including my mother as of recent) on our local repeaters.
