antennas are on the more diy-able end of this activity, no need to buy them, make your own. firestik is a cb band (27mhz) antenna so you can't use it anyway for this (your radio can't transmit there either). you'll need a way to measure your antenna, which means you need a tool like nanoVNA. for 70cm band, j-pole antenna will be easy to make and compact (50cm ish long) and would be either stiff (made from small diameter copper or aluminum pipe/wire) or elastic (so that it can be rolled up). if the former, put it all in a pvc water pipe sealed on both ends, with coax output going through a cable choke, or put the bottom section (from feedpoint to shorting bar) in some kind of plastic box, with wires also going through cable chokes. note that when tuning, pipe needs to be on antenna, because enclosure will shift resonant frequency down. you can mount the enclosure with metal clamp to something as long as clamp is below the shorting bar at the bottom. if latter, use twin lead for the parallel line section, or make your own because it can be hard to get (like this) aim for 300-450 ohm impedance. then you can roll up this antenna when not used and suspend it from a fishing rod (wood or fiberglass only) or from string attached to tree or something when you need to use it. in either case, do not connect shorting bar to coax shield and do put a ferrite bead or two on coax. do not deploy antenna directly next to conductive surface or rod. do not deploy antennas next to power lines. if you want to use 2m band, you'll need separate, 3x longer antenna for it. there are slightly more complicated ones that get you both 2m and 70cm. there are many guides about this, but this is one of simplest ways to get it working
that said, you've got a pretty capable, heavy and expensive radio here. if you just want to use 70cm, then you can get away with something much smaller and cheaper, you could hold it in your hand. like baofeng, or quansheng if you want to reflash it. 70cm (UHF and VHF in general) allows for contacts within line of sight only; put your antenna on a mast for more range. HF bands have different limitations, but range is not limited in this way (it's limited in different way). there are many schools of thought on how to make it work best, but general shape of solution is either halfwave-ish long reel of wire (low tens of meters) that needs to be put high in the air, horizontally, either using trees or fiberglass mast as a support, or some kind of conductive mast (or nonconductive mast with wire going up along), about quarterwave long, with wires of similar length strewn on ground. there are many choices and tradeoffs depending on where you intend to transmit from (car? bike? some mobile setup with everything fitting in a backpack? shed in the woods? tent in the desert?), target bands (HF or VHF/UHF or maybe microwaves?) and how are these supposed to be used (CW? phone? digital modes? point to point contacts? through repeater? through satellite? bouncing signal from the moon?)
