    Lol, I’m the same way. Meshtastic is the hobby of the month and it’s been fun so far.

    Here a few reasons I’m liking it:

    • Learn more about radio frequencies
    • Off-grid communication, while hiking, camping, hunting etc
    • Communication and location updates in areas with poor cell service (concerts, music festivals, trave, boating, etc)
    • Emergency preparedness
    • In my area the broadcast channel is pretty active, so a community of like minded people to chat with
    • Fun little devices you get to burn money on (I have 4 pre-made and parts for 4 more I’ll make myself on the way)
