I go camping with my family and my brother and his wife and my other brother and his new girlfriend and my mom and dad. Do u know of any 3 way walkie talkies? We need a 3 way. Or if I buy a set of walkie talkies can we all talk at the same time? I don't want to waste my money. Thank u!

A walkie-talkie is a simplex device. In other words it can either receive or transmit; it can't do both at the same time.
(A telephone is a duplex device which can receive and transmit simultaneously.)
So no, you can't all talk at the same time. You have to press a button (the p.t.t. switch - press to talk) to transmit and release it to receive.
You and your family will have to use traditional radio discipline by indicating who should respond to your transmission and saying, for instance, "over" at the end of each transmission before you release the p.t.t.

most electrical retailers supply 3 way sets-if you have difficulty then go on e-bay and try to grab 3 CB walkie-talkies.

Maplins in the UK or Radio Shack in the US both are cheap as well
