I am by far the most tech interested person in this neighbourhood so gifting the node will go a long way I think. Smaller entry barrier when it’s free. And for on the farm rugged is better for sure.

As for battery life I was thinking that I have several battery packs for emergencies and I should be able to charge it from them. I was also thinking solar on our roof as a node.

The portability/ruggedness for a day beats the long battery life on the farm I think.
