Semi, there are some network bridges that translate packets in to ones that the target network expects. Meshtastic has the “market share” in my area, and is completely FOSS, so I gravitate towards it. Reticulum seems very interesting but doesn’t have high adoption at this time.
Yeah, I’m sure that some people do. Cell networks may also go down if overloaded during a natural disaster, but yes this is mostly a hobby.
I’m planning on leaving a few nodes in advantageous locations near families work and home to ensure we can coordinate if cell goes down, and will get around to stashing a few away in a cage just in case
