My 80 year old mom in the remnant aftermath of hurricane in western NC could certainly use this right now!
I'm interested in more videos about LoRa radios
+1 from me too. All of your tech videos inspire and motivate me on my quests!
Me too
Yes...... Lora meshtastic videos PLEASE
I'm interested in lora. Seems like it could be neat for keeping tabs on your camper, while you're wandering nearby.
Im interested too
Hospitals and healthcare need this as a backup now. We are still paying $$$ for sat phones from the 2000's. This solves a lot more coms problems than just a limited sat phone.
Your truck is palatial compared to your current camping vehicle. It never ceases to amaze me how much you can actually stuff into those clown cars. They're quite underrated.
Canadian helicopter pilots would love this. We spend a lot of time in the field waiting. Sometimes we wait all day on top of a hill waiting for the call to pick up the field teams. 6 hours with a book and a dying phone.
Hey Chad, nice to hear from you!
Absolutely, reliable power is a game-changer. I used mine out in the Nebraska plains-worked, made video calls, watched Netflix, and kept all my devices charged for a week!
100% interested in more LoRa / Meshtastic info and how it could be used in the outdoor and overland community
What an elegant solution. One wire and use it. Love it.
This is a game changer, well done Star-Batt👏 I would love to test out this setup here in the Canadian Arctic.
Star-Batt Mini offers a clearer means of communication compared to our Garmin inReach Explorer we carry for emergency backup. Motorcycle off-road touring and hunting/fishing trips take us to very isolate locations. Thank you for this very useful update - just put my name on the list.
Great to see you both camping in northern Saskatchewan - a tad chilly but with the leaf color and sunsets it is so beautiful. Fishing is great at Gem Lakes; tiger & rainbow trout!
Thank you for your support. We are looking forward to crushing our Kickstarter goals and getting units into the wild March '25.
It's not every day that you see a clever and well thought-out design. Having Starlink in general is great for all of the reasons you mention, like getting on those work calls while simultaneously enjoying the great outdoors, calling for help when the 7.3 is broken down in remote areas, or accessing manuals etc. for field repairs, but the waterproof all in one kit is the next level. Leave all your other chargers and batteries at home, grab the bugout Batt, and have an extra layer of protection, solar power, and connection when out in harsh conditions hunting, camping, assisting others in power outages, etc. Imagine using "AI" to design a 3D printed finger splint that is printed and ready at the camper when you get back from your hiking trip/mishap.
Thanks so much! That’s exactly what we’re going for-rugged, all-in-one power and connectivity, no matter where you are.
@@starbattusa Looks like you nailed it! Let me know if you need any more testing in the Western USA. Waiting on an excuse to upgrade to the Mini.
Thank you Jason for the great video. You hit all the important points and answered the questions I didn't know I had.
Looks ideal for motorcycle camping or rafting/kayaking. The profile would fit a side pannier, or even better, it could be mounted facing up on a rear luggage rack and used in motion for nav. Mount points or slots for straps would be a handy feature. It’s sized well to act as a battery where other full battery systems are too bulky.
Backcountry Pilots, either professionals throughtout the Canadian and US North, or recreational like Trent Palmer would love this. Trent had a regular Starlink mounted inside his plane, the Freedom Fox, but having an independent box that had both battery and Starlink would probably be a better set up.
Excellent video. It's clever and insightful. I like the additional communication information at the end. Thanks for sharing. God Bless!
Another fantastic and very interesting video. Thanks for thoroughly explaining the technical details as well, something many other channels don't do. Also, it's clear you enjoy testing these devices to the limit, and have fun doing it.
I am interested in a LoRa video. Great Starbatt video
Cool package. I would love to learn more about the lora setup! I was thinking of this as an idea, but you beat me to it!
That's a neat solution! I can toss it outside during the day and bring it in to charge at night.
Or get the solar panels and leave it out there 24/7...
So...now that I'm finally mounting Starlink...there's something better? Oh biscuits! Couldn't help it: Big guy in a little car...:) Good to hear from you guys!
Yes please LoRa video from Jason and Kara!!!!
Could use that in North Carolina right now as mountain towns are cut off from a lot of communications...
More LoRa content please!
Thank you sir. I shared with my Brother who travels through out America by A class B motor home.
Star-Batt would be quite useful for first responders of all types!
We think so too!
Oooh, I would love to learn more about the mesh system!
Definitely more on the mesh and wifi! cheers!
Meshtastic YES PLEASE Thank you for every one of your videos!
Some linq brackets for the back of the snowmobile would be a great addition
Yes, more meshtastic please!
I like the star-batt even though I have no starlink!
One big negative and why I can’t use such a device is that the battery capacity is above 150wh (576wh in fact) which makes it impossible to travel by air with, even as carry-on.
If only someone made a pack that has multiple removable 100wh modules that makes it legal to fly.
The Star-Batt site says they are considering a "lite" version with a smaller battery under the allowed limit for flying.
How about a setup with a small built-in battery that also accepts one or more common tool batteries as extenders? Two or three slots for a Milwaukee M12 or M18 or similar would do nicely. The Star-Batt BMS would handle the safe charge/discharge.
@@dathat555 This is great feedback! Star-Batt Lite designed for commercial air travel will be high on our priority list.
Thanks for the great review Jason!
Wow. Very cool! Thanks for reviewing.
Interested in the meshtastic! We used it at MDRS in spring 2023! (Mars Desert Research Station in Utah)
Of course we need more meshtastic!
I am interested in LoRa!
I'd like to see Jason getting into and out of the "mini car" ...
ua-cam.com/video/N0iJ5o79Ee0/v-deo.htmlsi=gX5R8grXY6JFrf5b&t=301
Hopefully you will come to us on your way south! 😁😁😁
Great sales speech man i love it.
YES!! help me understand more about meshtastic.
100% need more Lora content
as always : game changer video. thanks
I was hoping you were going to show us how to make that battery. It looks like a simple build.
I am interested in learning more about a mesh network LORA node setup !!
Love your many videos… !
The LoRa stuff interests also. I've been dabbling in this kinda stuff but yet to try LoRa. Cheers! 👍
Another video detailing mesh node please.
Levi is da man.
Brother from another mother!
Would be awesome to see some meshtastic video's!
This package would work extremely well for EmComm in a disaster. They need a ruggedized case for the solar panel too.
Definitely interested
Very nice. Yes, please show us how you set up the mqtt using meshtastic. Thanks!
More Meshtastic please!
Very interested in the Lora stuff. :)
Nice vid! Hope you didn't hurt that charger!
It seems to work fine. 😇
Having an EPIRB function or emergency button
I want it to act like an EPIRB, giving my position if I am at sea or after an earthquake. Reduce battery usage. Plus a small solar panel as an option on the case itself, so it can be trickle charged
As mentioned, the case can't have solar panels overtop as the silicon in the panel will snuff the signal...
Nice AD. We need to plant some more of those 110v trees around here. I went through 4 or 5 different cables with my mini as well. Would be sweet if a 50w or even 20w solar panel could go on the lid. My one google search didn't tell me if those can be radio transparent though. Another cool option would be a timed shut off.
Timed shutoff is already an option in the Starlink App... Further, Silicon, the material used in most solar panels, cannot be made radio-transparent because of its inherent electrical properties. Silicon is a semiconductor, meaning it can conduct electricity under certain conditions. It has free electrons and holes (absence of electrons) that allow it to absorb electromagnetic radiation, including radio waves, and convert it into electrical energy. This ability to absorb radiation is crucial for its function in solar panels, where it converts sunlight (primarily in the visible spectrum) into electricity.
When radio waves pass through silicon, the material interacts with them, causing attenuation (loss of signal strength). For something to be radio-transparent, it needs to allow radio waves to pass through without significant absorption or reflection, which is not possible with conductive materials like silicon.
@@Everlanders Thank you for dropping that knowledge on me! Also hadn't seen that option in the app. I'll have to put that to use.
Awesome
I would like to see the star link batt mini in a Nanuk case
Why?
theres 3 nukular footballs. Pres, VP, and SEND IT.
Please do the Lora tutorials
i was trying to figure out lora but It looked like it didnt work with a phone. I couldnt find a good resourse. If you made two videos , one explaining LORA and what it can do and then make a follow up video with exact hardware we should buy and how to set it up for a family type situation.
I was up in the Tundra and I figure Lora would make it 20 kms, our walkie talkies go about 2km. Between the exploration camp a helicopter and two drill sites that four nodes about 5- to 40 kms away from camp. So we had to use in-reach and sat phones throughout the day. It was slow and cumbersome communication between teams
Tried to buy it but it's not available
Find a way to air drop these in remote locations like western NC.
Drone
meshtastic++
figured there would be a DIY video....instead of "Star-Batt" "Star-BASE(camp)" 🤔
7:13 or keep it in the case so people don’t ask if that’s your Starlink and if can they use the wifi 😂😊
Hi Jason, I noticed the slide out mechanism you had for your solar panels on the camper. Exactly what I'd like to do on our caravan. Was this an off the shelf product or did you have it fabricated yourself? Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks John

Maybe that mesh tactic device should be integrated into your orange box?
Probably an unnecessary expense for those who wouldn't use it.
I thought I was the only one who wrapped dehydrated meals with camping clothes to retail heat! Guess not...
Do a LoRa ViDeo!
Your mini-vehicle there must have been VERY tight if everything you’ve shown plus y’all all came in that mini !
That is a “Suppository sized mini”…. Lol
All true!
Sorry if you mentioned it, weight?
27lbs
The link to the star at mini website on my show paragraph of text
Someone is going to ask so ... I seems you can plug any solar panel into the box to recharge the 500Wh battery. I'm guessing there is a solar charge controller in the box. What is the DC input range for voltage for the controller. You already know you can over panel the controller as it has a solar input max. You cannot over volt the controller. So what is the DC voltage range for the solar charge controller? This suggestion to help a first responder who doesn't spend their time with solar charge controller. Print that spec on the box much like the Bluetti AC180 product.
Great question! The Star-Batt Mini’s DC input range for the solar charge controller is 12-24V, up to 160W. We’ll definitely consider adding that info on the box for easier reference. Thanks for the suggestion!
@@starbattusa One other thought. Print the spec(s) on the underside of the lid. That protects it from the elements as this box seems to be designed for harsh environments. My first thought was to emboss the spec into the mold of the box, but as soon as the batt and solar are updated that might not be so smart. Thanks.
I have a good friend in Houston,Tx Im in Detroit,MI do you think a long range walkie-talkie would be a good idea for back up if cell phone networks go down would they work seeing they run off cell phone type sim card?
I don't know how those could work if there is no cellular... Starlink for the win 🏆
@Everlanders so thats what was my thought, better off with a cell phone. I have a 8db radio signal antenna for my syncrobit hotspot miner and would like to start experimenting more with handheld radios seeing radio waves or some of the most common used for communications.
Dang a 600 dollar battery.
Sir how much. How to order

Just waiting for Starlink to make it available in Canada..... 8-(
Yes, we were very happy to get ours when passing through Colombia! 🇨🇴
LoRa / Meshtastic videos please.
Bummer. After waiting so long for a new video from Everlanders, we got an advertisement about a very expensive item we don't need and can't even buy yet.
Maybe these are what you're looking for?
ua-cam.com/play/PL0uBLqOOwG8iQo1QR74MBbUshZk6FOKfX.html
What is that little pop up light?
I got it here: amzn.to/4dxIGLE
That light is very cool, but it's a bit more than my camping light budget even though the pop up with legs is very nice for picnic tables.
Yeah, too expensive, you shouldn't buy it.
yestastik meshtastic.
🤣🤣🤣
That's a cool package, too bad Elon is evil.
Then LTE is a great alternative for you!
@@Everlanders Until his inevitable downfall I will suffer slower speeds. Hopefully it will be soon for all of us and especially the talented people at SpaceX and Tesla.
Hey guys, I've been a big fan of the channel for a long time. But these AI thumbnails are getting to be too much. It actually has the opposite effect and ends up making me not want to click on the video.
But yet, you did click, and commented... And as we're getting 50% more clicks and views it seems to be having the desired effect. Further, all the safety orange Blackhawk helicopters were far outside our thumbnail budget.
Fn eh bro
