Have you tried using the Meshtastic flasher utility yet? Try that first, after installing drivers. It's the simplest solution when it works: https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-gui-installer/releases/latest
Will this board work? Its listed on the meshtastic site but doesnt say it has meshtastic pre-installed, would I be able to do that myself?

not sure where to begin

Yes, but only via a MQTT broker. Meshtastic isn't LoRaWAN so it doesn't include that type of capability by default, but I'm not the expert on that aspect of it. If you check out the docs at meshtastic.org, and the Discourse forum link at the top of that site you might be able to find better answers to that question.
I got tired of not being able to text my friends, so I found a solution: $30 DIY LoRa personal mesh nodes with Meshtastic!

I know a lot of people have the problem of not being able to reliably get in contact with friends, and walkie talkies are basically useless unless you get somewhere quiet. I knew there had to be a way to get texting over walkie talkies or something similar, so I did some googling and came across this project called Meshtastic.

Any not so obvious alternative ways to access the internet,communication or information during shtf

Software / app: https://meshtastic.org/ Meshtastic is one of the apps you can run on your devices AND is the firmware provider for the Lora devices. So you flash the device with meshtastic, install the app on the phone, pair the phone with the lora, and start chatting.

There's this really cool project that uses inexpensive radios that can communicate over kilometers to build a "mesh network."
