The LDS Prepper channel recorded an 1.5 hour presentation on using Mesh networks for preppers allowing you to link devices or send short text messages. Although this presentation is fairly long, he has shorter videos on specific Mesh network topics. And here are some articles at Hackaday that covers Mesh networks.

Well that outta be good. I know these networks are already really popular with hackers (especially the outdoorsy ones; one of those Hackaday articles mentioned giving repeaters to the whole family on camping trips).
ReplyDeleteYears ago I read of similar networks being used by leftist groups to help communities hit by disaster back east, but being lefties, they were very secretive about the whole thing and would only share information and technology with other lefty groups.
