Fcc license question

I’m new to this and want to try to do things right so I need some advice. I am buying a tyt th-8600 waterproof radio to put in my side by side to use as a trail radio to communicate with others on the trail short range. I’ve done a little bit of reading and please correct me if I’m wrong but I want to communicate to others using the cheap 2 way radios that you get from like walmart, I think those are gmrs frequencies? what licence do I need to get to be in the clear?

Thanks in advance

The TYT radio is not FCC certified for GMRS, so simply put… you cannot use this radio to communicate with GMRS radios.

To use any GMRS radio, a GMRS license is required…but you MUST use FCC certified Part 95 GMRS radios.
