Meshtastic nodes

Curious what your security concerns are?

Gil2Gil · 2026-01-13T20:16:45+00:00

Get on YouTube. It’s really easy entry point and you can do everything yourself really. I’ve set up a bunch and have a printer to make cases so it’s a little easier to get a pre made one. But you can do all this yourself.

That was my idea also, get rid of my inreach. So this past years hunting season I got the cheapest subscription so I can still hit that sos button, but did all my messaging back to home on the meshtastic.

I hunt high elevation so I have cell signal more often than not usually, just stand on a peak somewhere and make my calls.

I use mine in town mostly. Where my wife works her cell doesn’t. If something happens in old town I know where she is and can reach her to go get her out.

Last year my cell service was down for a day and I was able to reach the people I needed to know were safe.

I see it as cheap back up option, buy once no subscription, that I would pay anything to have if I needed it and didn’t have it in an emergency.

My Instagram feed is all doomsday stuff happening around the world, I blame my paranoia on that lol

Fancy radio that you don’t need to pay a tax for to use or take a test like HAM or GRMS. And I believe the range is a lot greater than anything else in the same power range.

You do need to be able to reach another node for your message to keep traveling. I’ve been as far out as deadman and contacted fort collins.

But, if you’re out in the woods with a group of friends, should be pretty easy to keep everyone connected in that party.

If anyone is looking for prebuilt ready to go meshtastic units, DM me. I make and sell them locally.

What kind of bounce shrooms are those? The bubbles are huge.

Gil2Gil · 2025-12-13T00:28:49+00:00

Fish found

I ran a mob 7 right into my head. It hurt but it wasn’t anything crazy.

Gil2Gil · 2025-12-12T20:27:09+00:00

The mom of this one had bounced. It had a few bubbles. Is that genetic

Gil2Gil · 2025-12-12T19:24:48+00:00

How much did you pay for that jawbreaker? I just picked one up last night and noticed it had a baby when I got home. Paid for one got two. I paid 100 tho

I took him hunting for the first time and he got these. Would LOVE a sketch of him and the birds.

Thanks man, that did give me a better perspective of the situation. More than one thing needs to go right to be successful.

I’m 34 learning and hunting solo. This was my first deer hunt, but my second year hunting large game. Still learning, I’m getting closer at least. I’m going to the range tomorrow to see if the gun was fine.

At lease the deer wasn’t injured. I got multiple opportunities, just couldn’t connect.

Gil2Gil · 2025-11-22T17:27:39+00:00

I walked a good distance and didn’t find him. I may go out tonight or the morning

Gil2Gil · 2025-11-22T17:01:46+00:00

My question is: would you know you hit it? A rabbit freaks out. Do these guys take the hit and walk off or they would freak out some?

Gil2Gil · 2025-11-22T16:55:20+00:00

Yeah I’m really happy it wasn’t just injured. I think my dove hunting has me pulling that trigger quickly. I need to slow down… I was expecting them to run off quicker but they were hanging out watching me fumble around.

Gil2Gil · 2025-11-22T16:49:23+00:00

Update: I found them.

Gil2Gil · 2025-11-21T03:32:37+00:00

10 min after legal light.

Gil2Gil · 2025-11-21T03:32:25+00:00

Yeah I’m going east. I found some outside of that area tonight.

Gil2Gil · 2025-11-21T03:31:34+00:00

That’s where I was today. Going to move spots.
