Sat up last night thinking about Mesh comms for the average Canadian who aren't likely going to be running out to buy new products. As a back-up, I have Briar for groups and Bluetooth chat for 1-on-1, but wondering if there are any recommendations you or others may have that are 1) better and 2) a Canadian solution?

Picked up a new android (sat in someones drawer for a couple years), never been activated, no sim card - am installing things like Tor, Briar, Session, Element, Meshenger - in addition to Meshtastic - no Canadian solutions that I know of.

May be too late anyways, with the rumours about the upcoming EO that classifies fentanyl as a "weapon of mass destruction", allowing the use of military force to stop it within the "alleged" sources...

FRS radio's for local use - get your HAM radio license for further range (LARC is great - they run a course each fall). But this is all new to me.
