Internet, GPS, Electricity.
Consider getting FRS, or go full-route and get your HAM license and a handheld.
Consider LoRa-based Meshtastic devices (Lilygo T-Deck) - good for text communications, am unsure if they are dependent on GPS for their mesh capabilities though.
Sat up last night thinking about Mesh comms for the average Canadian who aren’t likely going to be running out to buy new products. As a back-up, I have Briar for groups and Bluetooth chat for 1-on-1, but wondering if there are any recommendations you or others may have that are 1) better and 2) a Canadian solution?
Picked up a new android (sat in someones drawer for a couple years), never been activated, no sim card - am installing things like Tor, Briar, Session, Element, Meshenger - in addition to Meshtastic - no Canadian solutions that I know of.
May be too late anyways, with the rumours about the upcoming EO that classifies fentanyl as a “weapon of mass destruction”, allowing the use of military force to stop it within the “alleged” sources…

FRS radio’s for local use - get your HAM radio license for further range (LARC is great - they run a course each fall). But this is all new to me.
