That all depends on what you want to do. Not all HAM radios are VHF. I have an HT that covers numerous bands, military, public safety, aviation, and ham as well. If you were needing some help, you'd have a better chance getting out on the HAM radio than an FRS radio. For a "me and a buddy going hunting in the woods" scenario and assuming you weren't going to be very far away from each other, then FRS would probably suit your needs. You know you need to go over into "a different forum" on this same website to ask that question though.
HAM radio has a lot of advantages over FRS but, it really depends on your application. Also, say I was at a campsite in remote southern Oklahoma. Say my truck is parked at the site but I'm out on foot with my HT (walkie talkie). Did you know I can use my truck as a repeater? Also since both the the HT and truck radios are multi band I can transmit on VHF and have the truck send the signal out on the same or even UHF if need be? This is called cross band repeating.
So, effectively, now that HT is transmitting on say 5 watts to a mobile that can retransmit on 50 watts (or 100 watts if I am using a different radio). I can reach a long way with 100 watts.
