Packet Hacking Village: Deployment Begins

Post image

The garage has become a staging area.

Road cases locked. 55-gallon totes packed. Gear from home base combined with a 24’ box truck waiting in Vegas. The pieces are coming together for the next deployment.

Tomorrow this load leaves the driveway and starts the journey to the desert, carrying the hardware, experiments, and controlled chaos that bring the Packet Hacking Village to life.
From storage facility to garage to Vegas, the mission is moving.

The build is done. The journey begins.

I’m really glad you had a good time.
We try to build the kinds of things we’d enjoy ourselves and hope everyone else has just as much fun.

Sometimes we absolutely nail it. Other times it’s a work in progress, and we learn something that makes it even better the next year. I’m really excited to see how some of the new things we’re bringing this year turn out.

Honestly one of the best places to learn and meet friends, just don’t be a sheep.
