V happy with today's #meshtastic node build. I took my original case design & minified it. Just as waterproof & rugged, but only 1.65Kg. Tiny wee thing.

I went with the low power RAK Wisblock this time; those 18650 LiPo's will give it ~8 full blackout days so no need for solar.

I threw in an old & light Samsung with app all setup, attached to the case with a harvested tripod phone holder.

It's powerful, in part thanks to the beloved VERT900 antenna, seeing dozens of nodes within minutes.
