At Field Day this year, I threw together a quick mesh portable setup that provided a 9 mile path back to my QTH from the Field Day site.
The Yagi is connected to a Ubiquiti Bullet HP, set to operate on channel -2. The outdoor plastic enclosure mounted to the tripod is an Orbit sprinkler enclosure that can be found at Home Depot and other stores. Inside the enclosure is a Linksys WAP & 4-port switch that has an Ethernet connection to the Ubiquiti Bullet. The WAP provided local connectivity in the area for phones, tablets, etc. There is also a 12 VDC to 24 VDC converter inside the enclosure to power the Bullet HP from a 12 VDC battery situated at the base of the tripod mast, that you can't see due to the tall grass. The little package can also be powered from 115 VAC, hence the orange extension cord wrapped up on the tripod. Since the package draws relatively little current, it doesn't take a huge battery to power the system for 24 hours.

We operate Bullets this way regularly.

Everything I have heard from real world testing is a NanoStation outperforms those yagi+bullet combos.
It adds dual parity which increases SNR lowers LQ, and potentially increases the speed you can get (because of dual chains you can double the data rate).
Ive got this as "Node in a bag" NSM2 strapped to a green army pole which also makes setup easier as no mounting of the antenna is needed only mounting the pole. (Doinf as many events as I do a year every few se nods matter :)
