Internet access and in general communication being crucial during unrests is the reason why I'm currently waiting for parts to set up a few https://meshtastic.org/ nodes for me, my family, and friends that are interested, and get a few devices that I can hand out when it will be needed.

Can I ask why you chose meshtastic over e.g. reticulum? I'm new to this area but interested (mostly from a nerd perspective)

To be honest, I saw an article/post about meshtastic, lookes up if it's active in my city, which it seems to somewhat be (I mean, it has a webpage and like 10 nodes), and decided to give it a try.

It never really occured to me to look up alternatives, first time I'm hearing about Reticulum, will look into it!

If you’re in a major city there are probably already several meshtastic nodes out there
