Just ordered some boards a week ago for meshtastic. Maybe I can find some people in the wild.

Meshtastic sounds like Zeronet but on top of a LoRa stack, very interesting.

One alone won't be able to do much but if you need to connect a few people in a rural area it's amazing.

My only hope is that waterproof models become more available
