Can't wait for "Alone's" review. I bet she has better connectivity.

Yeah....Guilty as charged. I didn't think it was techy at all! :-)

@@1968alaskan ignorance on my part is no fault on you. Appreciate the video!!

So you are in IT ? What is your specialty? We are looking for a good IT person.

@@1968alaskan I'm the last man standing from a startup that was acquired a few years ago, so I wear a few different hats. But my main day to day involves maintaining several cybersecurity appliances in AWS and elsewhere as well as doing some security engineering for partners.

@@MattAK Sent you an email.

Thanks.

I've been fairly lucky...I try to change the batteries every 6 months. With 4 game cameras those batteries count up quick. 4 cams X 12 batteries X 2 (twice a year) = 96!

Glad you found it interesting, this topic isn't for many! :-)

Learning is free....I can't stress this enough. Be confident in your investing.

That it is! Times like these next few months, make it very interesting.

I'm the type of guy, if its working don't touch it. Really blew it on this one. I need to go look at all my other critter cams..Always something to do. Thx for the comment.

@@1968alaskan Hopefully all is well with them, if not at least you know what to do now lol!

I am a believer, now that I have had it for a bit!

I did. I've found that the app shows the area as not supported. It is still workable for me. Weather (rain) makes a big difference. I have reached downloads as fast as 300 Mbps and as slow as .08 Mbps... Two locations, makes it subjective.

The only consideration in hind sight...is making sure you have a clear view to the north...and a little to the west and a little to the east. During setup they want if facing due North. At the cabin works great, here in town...Need to get it up above the roof line to clear other homes! Just an FYI.

@@1968alaskan thank you! We have great internet here at the house (Copper Valley Telecom) but are lacking when we roam around. There has been talks of geo-fencing with the home kit so I’m conflicted as to which one to purchase. Of course, I haven’t called them yet lol.

@@TheSimpleAlaskans Totally understand I"m the same way! Depending on how much you roam...and where! I have got by with a MiFi solution for years...but..... If you will be roaming for say 3 months....You can turn off Starlink for nine months and then easily re-start the service! Spendy but...I would say that would be the way I would go. 150 per month x 3 months = $450. 450 /12 months = $37.50 per month x 12 months (budget wise) That would be hard to beat. All how you want to attack it. Good luck.

Thanks.

I like multiple results, not the best results. But still very happy.

@@1968alaskan It's not about having the best result, it's the result from the app-device you're using. Which Starlink do you have? Gen 3 or something else?

@@1968alaskan I just found it odd you never used the Starlink speed test.

@@Sappho123 I did, just didn't show it in the video.

That is one strategy, but I will counter, probably not the best. I will explain in next video. Thanks for your honest opinion.

It will be fun testing this, North of latitude 62! Hopefully this will work, I feel confident. Still have to get that pressure washer, keep the good reviews coming! :-)

Thank you 👍

It is the full size. The mini from my understanding has a data cap, something like 50 GB. With TV and my work, I'd blow thru that in a day. Take this next part with a grain of salt....I bought it at best buy. They offer a deal for $50 a year....that gives you a discount for items you buy. They claim over a 1000 items a day are on sale...seems high. But....They will also discount Starlink if the price goes down for the next 90 days. (west coast of USA is getting hardware for $299.00 currently) I bought batteries for game cam's... saved $14.00 on that alone. I know you probably won't be going to best buy that often....I assume.

@@1968alaskan I just ordered Starlink Gen 3 from Best Buy online for $299. It arrives Monday. I have horrible internet in rural Virginia with Brightspeed. Max. 15 GB! None of my security cameras record events. On the Starlink site, the Gen 3 is also available for $299 until Oct. 5th, so this sale is not related to Best Buy, but Starlink itself. I am looking for the Starlink Ridgeline Mount but it isn't on the website. I need an easy way to mount it. I pay for Total Tech Support at Best Buy so I'll have 60 days to try it. I'm sure it will be fantastic. Much better than having to mail it back to Starlink should it not work.

@@1968alaskan the mini has unlimited data for $150 a month, the 50gb plan is 50gb then $1 a gig after that, but the mini unlimited doesabout equal to the standard dish, and your on the standard and should be getting way better that 56mbps its wifi 6, im sure theres some tewweking can be done, but better that 56mbps

@@r.davidvaughan8887 Thanks for that Information!! I was under the wrong impression. They must have changed that also, as I thought the mini was a roaming only and only up to 50 gb. Thx for setting it straight.

@@1968alaskan what part of Alaska are you??? According to their site y'all get upto 120mbps up that way(perfectly fine streaming n gaming speeds for avg household), also the Gen 3 standards router has ether ports get ether cable(once you got everything mounted n set up) your speeds should increase

Yes indeed! But being aware of your surroundings and planning helps.

Thanks! Hopefully we have more cabin content soon. We have many irons in the fire, so it's not all cabin content. Glad to see you here.

You know it, I know it, hopefully everyone else figures it out! Otherwise might have to sell my gas eating truck, stoves, hot water heaters, washing machines and learn how to use an outhouse.....oh wait...... :-)

@@1968alaskan shall not comply

You are 100% right! Channel Name has no spaces! I was searching by Title of Channel. 1968Alaskan is the Channel.

I understand. It was a habit that I had to develop. When I opened UA-cam, I opened Rumble. Takes a bit. (one more click)

Thanks for the comment! It is frustrating to me, as I don't rely on UA-cam for an income. It is more for documenting events for family and others. I have a few videos out there, in regards to guns and ammo and they still top my views every day. I know there is a huge demand on this subject. I have decided not to leave youtube as there are many channel's that we enjoy. The conclusion I have come to, is to show it on Rumble, and use UA-cam as a notifier. Probably will be a bit before I become active in that area, as my full time job is very demanding! Hopefully with in the year, we will be retired and have more time.

After a few days of thinking on this... Probably will just keep it as is for UA-cam, and move all the pew pew stuff over to the freedom loving sites.

​@1968alaskan that seems sensible. Would hate to see you go. I'm just UA-cam so it would be a nice compromise.

I would like to give the middle finger to UA-cam, However, in an indirect way, I would be losing contact with many of you. You point that out well. I enjoy much of the offgrid videos, and youtube friends and the conversations. I'm not much on compromise, but in this case, I will.

@@1968alaskan I totally get it. We are being forced to do things all over the place, not just UA-cam. Pick your battles as they say. If everyone could see things the same way and stick together it would have a real impact. Unfortunately I don't see that happening. Seems we are small fish in a big pond.

Very True! Glad we don't all think the same, what a boring world it would be!

Thanks for the input. Much appreciated.

Thanks! Hope you have a good one too!

Agreed! This fat Alaskan can't work, when it is above 75! We are back down to Highs of the day in the 60's. Very Doable.

for sure! We just returned from spending a few days in willow/wasilla and enjoyed the cool, rainy days compared to the 90 degrees and high humidity in PA!

Crud..., Did you go to the meetup? I did something stupid, not sure what, but pulled a hamstring. Can't sit, Can't stand for long, bruised up..... Dang nabbit. I know you were there!

​@@1968alaskanguilty! Hung out at the meetup good food great people. Doesn't take much anymore to pull a muscle...just bending down to put socks on is dangerous!

Thanks for watching!

That's for sure! To many changes at once.

@@1968alaskan oh boy do I understand how that goes!

Thank You, I'm glad too.

Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for compliment on the place. It's rustic, but we love it. Sink will probably stay, the solar pump...not so much.

@@1968alaskan I like the rustic places better than the modern ones lol.

Thanks, yes I have a dry sense of humor and I know it. It is a blessing to be able to work...remotely.

You are welcome, Just being able to be away from it all is worth it.

Chores, they are always there!

Yep lots of work to do, but all that good food keeps my energy up, and well keeps me really skinny! (sarcasm) :-)

LOL, Yep. Well that was his 2nd visit in 2 years. 3rd time is the charm!

My humor can be a bit...off. So glad a few of you enjoyed it.

Right back at ya! Hope you had a great 4th.

@@1968alaskan FREEDOM!!!

Hope you get the chance to use it.

Yep, I think we all have had to deal with an unruly neighbor a time or two. I had a guy knock on my door at 5:00 am, trying to go inside and couldn't understand why all these people were at his house? LOL, poor guy couldn't stand up. I had to ask him what color is your house....(white) Does my house look white? Looks up and around and falls over... He never did come over and apologize, LOL. We all need a helping hand now and then. P. Orkupine got his last notice last night!

Ha !! What you are saying is that I let a meal "pass on by"??

@@1968alaskan Yup 😁

They come with free tooth picks

For sure! He probably would have slapped me around a bit.

Mine too! Although I've never tried Porcupine....

@@1968alaskan me either, but some say it's quite good, if cooked properly.

Yeah for the most part they mind their own business. The only problem I've heard of, is people bringing their dogs up. They end up at the Vet. Now I know why.
