A Complete Meshtastic + ATAK Guide | My off the grid Comms Setup!

In this video we look at my off the grid communications setup and I give you a complete beginners guide to Meshtastic and Atak for your outdoor adventures.Everything we will cover in this video: We start with an explanation of Meshtastic Mesh Networks and the Android Team Awarness Kit What is Meshtastic? What is Atak? I will show you which Meshtastic boards I use, where you can buy them, and how to set up your first Meshtastic node and flash the new firmware to the device. We will set up Atak on your Android phone and download Atak Maps and I will show you how to use offline maps in Atak. We also look at rubber sheets in Atak - a tool for overlaying maps on satellite imagery. Perfect for your airsoft game days, milsim or hiking adventures. I will show you how I set up my own open Tak ATAK server on a Rasberry Pi 4 and how you can connect to my server using ATAK for testing. Finally, I will give you an overview of my voice comms and what other cool add-ons are available for Meshtastic nodes. A lot to cover in this video: Let's go!
