Meshtastic is great for this. I have a meshtastic node that is also a 10,000mAh backup phone battery. Just running it as a meshtastic node lasted 50 days on a single charge. And while I’ve not done another complete drain test on it again, I know for a fact that it lasts over 30 days every single time I charge it.
No one in rural Japan (or at least my corner of it) is doing meshtastic. Japan is more strict on power as well. I am a licensed HAM and even that is pretty thin on the ground up here these days. I had family visit and one brought a node. Nothing at all anywhere we travelled even in one of northern Japan’s biggest cities
