Found it successfully. Crazy how this tiny box strapped to a tree with a simple whip antenna can reach out like 12-15 miles.

The node (took me like 20 min to find it in this tree):

Location location location. Ive found line of sight with no tree trunks or foliage the holy grail for meshtastic, it can go miles and miles with the right location. I have my node hoisted 90ft up in a tree on a hill but there are still too many branches as its not above the treeline and my node only gets out 3 or 4 miles.
