I first met Trent in the summer of 2021 when we moved to Stephenville TX and we quickly became best friends. In 2024 Trent’s world was turned upside down when he experienced blood clots in his left arm and during his hospitalization suffered a stroke. In the subsequent year Trent had to relearn how to walk, eat and see again as well as learning to deal with other deficits. Through working with talented and passionate therapist and educating himself he gained a new insight into the health care system and developed a heart for the broken. He is now turning his trauma into something positive but starting The Broken Road podcast to interview survivors and shine a light that there is life after trauma. He also stated The Broken Road Project which seeks to help connect people with the resources they need to work towards their highest quality of life. Along with working on all his own projects Trent has also been co-hosting on The Panhandle Primate Podcast for the past several episode. Enjoy this episode and keep an eye out for the cool things Trent is doing!

In this episode host, Dexter and Trent, introduce and discuss mesh networks, LORA devices, and some of the implications of “OFF” grid comms. Mesh networks are a system of series of nodes connected through radio waves to create a decentralized network, each node acts like a repeaters increasing possible range and reliability of transmissions. These devices vary from DIY to Military grade, coupled with software like Meshtastic and Meshcore create a communication network in case of disaster or for local messaging in areas with poor cell coverage. They can even be used with applications like ATAK. Per usual we chase some rabbits and at one point talk about drug overdose somehow… This is not my last episode on this topic and in the future I hope to be a little bit more versed since I am now playing with these devices daily.

I highly recommend getting these devices if you have kids. They are fun to build together and it gives the kids a way to have a device in their hands that is not connected to the internet. We as a society need to begin rethinking our interface with technology. Think of these devices as walky texts. If you do buy these devices or are interested in delving deeper into the rabbit hole I suggest the following YouTubers
Mesh core and the Like with Andy kirby
The Comms channel, great intro series
Thank you for reading!
