Look at what happen if you take @bitchat and you merge with @White Noise
I am travelling and I started a side project just for fun bur this is too cool to be just a throw away project

Bluetooth is way too limited in range for a countryside usage, LoRa it's much more interested for such usage but if course you can't use smartphone iron alone for that.
Bitchat honestly seems more a tool useful for disposable soldiers by CIA to drive protesters in third party countries they want to capture than something really usable for mesh comms...
A day we will have a LoRa (well, alike at least on the current tech) who is also a smartphone, let's say a Beofeng for FLOSS IP-like comms.
So far for wild life IMVHO we are still in the analog era where some try to push LEO comms, obviously not free.
