Glad to hear!

Yeah, it's primarily the power and setup time. I often leave camp to run or bike and have to move everything expensive to the SUV each time. It doesn't seem like much, but it can be a pain over several weeks, making you less likely to do fun stuff because you feel stuck at camp. Additionally, I bought most of my gear 2 to 5 years ago, and Starlink wasn't a great option then. The newer Starlink hardware consumes much less power, and the signal is much better. I would probably go with Starlink and a larger power station if I was buying everything now. It's a more costly setup because you need a larger power station and probably more solar panels or some plan to charge it (which leads to inconvenience). However, you can find some really cool and secluded areas with it. And power station prices are coming down quickly with all the competition. My setup is like 25 to 35% cheaper now than a few years ago.

@@wifibum do you find it limiting at all being bound to areas with cell service?

Yeah, it is limiting and sometimes can be a huge pain. I remember thinking I was going to have service in a spot in Wyoming, and I didn't, and I had to drive another 1.5 hours to find another area I could legally camp and had service. However, if you use campendium, ioverlander, freeroam and a few other websites/apps, you can figure out if you'll have service in an area with decent accuracy. Sometimes you're more limited by the weather. In the middle of summer, it gets so hot you don't really want to work inside a tent, so I found spots close enough to towns that had a library or coffee shop to work from. Sometimes I didn't have service at camp, but I did after driving a few minutes back toward town. And it obviously depends on where you are in the world. If you're hanging out in deserts or less populated areas, the more you'll want/need Starlink.

thanks!

I'm so glad you found it useful! That makes me extremely happy to hear and I appreciate you using the code :) . Really cool to see people getting value from the website after a couple years of work, thanks again :)

The tent is heavy. 10'x10' canvas tents (meant for 4-5 people) are in the 70lb range, including the poles and stakes. Canvas tents will have separate bags for the canvas, poles, and stakes. For the 10x10, the poles were ~25 lbs, the canvas was nearly 40lbs, and the stakes were ~5lbs. A 7'x9' canvas tent is ~40lbs including poles and is more manageable for one person. The only other heavy items I have are the Jackery (22lbs) and a 5 gallon scepter water can which is 50lbs when full.
