Off-grid messaging for camp Fauxliage.
A small radio that finds your campmates with no cell service, no wifi, and no infrastructure. Whichever way you get there, the setup happens before you leave — several steps genuinely cannot be done in the desert.

Blake buys it for you
You pay hardware at cost plus a flat $10. It arrives at his place, he flashes and configures it, and you collect it at camp ready to use.
You buy it, he sets it up
Order from the list yourself, bring it to camp in the box, and leave with it on the mesh. About fifteen minutes at camp with him.
You do the whole thing
Eight steps, about half an hour, all of it at home on wifi. Several of them genuinely cannot be done in the desert.
Before you leave

Add this to your home screen. On iPhone open it in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. On Android use Install from the browser menu. A bookmark isn't enough — iOS wipes a bookmarked site's saved pages after about a week, and the burn runs longer than that.

It's Short Turbo, not LongFast. LongFast is the Meshtastic default and the wrong answer here — Burning Mesh moves off it because 1,700 nodes on default settings nearly took the mesh down in 2025.
