Have you ever had a casual family chat about AI-powered fish counting spiral into discovering a revolutionary communication platform? 🌲🐟🧮 That's precisely what happened when I tumbled down the fascinating rabbit hole of Meshtastic - an open-source mesh networking solution that's quietly revolutionizing how we think about staying connected in the great outdoors.
In this video, I unpack how a simple conversation about counting salmon in remote wilderness areas led me to explore a technology that's equally inspiring and practical.
Think of it as WhatsApp meets ham radio, but with a dash of cyberpunk and a sprinkle of wilderness survival.
I'll share:
- How mesh networks are democratizing long-range communication
- Why outdoor enthusiasts, emergency responders, and tech tinkerers are falling in love with this platform
- The surprising intersection of conservation tech and off-grid communication
Whether you're a tech enthusiast, outdoor adventurer, or simply curious about how unexpected conversations can lead to fascinating discoveries, this deep dive into Meshtastic might just inspire your next tech exploration.
