- In this video, I go over the difference between using Starlink, a WeBoost or Garmin In Reach for staying in touch while in the woods. I also discuss which ones I will be keeping and why.

Good job! In 5 weeks I'm going full time nomad and still haven't decided on how to stay connected. Thanks for reminding me of the Garmin option. I won't be way off the beaten path but for a few days at a time will be, and with the Garmin I could still send my daily text to me kids. Good luck with your channel, I'm going to look at some more now.
Starlink is and has still been an absolute game changer for me. If you know someone close to you that has it, I highly recommend checking it out. If you're not going too far off the beaten path and know you will have cell service, getting a jetpack for hot spotting is likely the best route.
For me though, Starlink all the way!
I use starlink mounted on roof racks in a case. I had to modify the dish and purchase the case which is pretty expensive. I changed the router and input to DC to save battery draw. I can turn both router and dish on with toggle switches mounted on my dash. I notice the power draw is still pretty significant, so I don’t run it and my fridge when parked for too long unless the sun is charging my second battery. I live in an area with very shoddy cell service so being able to get internet while moving and streaming music is awesome.
I don't know if I will ever flat mount conversion mine but do plan on doing a 12v conversion. My setup has changed quite a bit from this video but Starlink has still been a major addition !
Great informative video. Thank you!
Thank you!!!
Super informative. I work very similarly and the we boost just isn't doing the trick. Good tips for the packing case on the starlink too. Keep up the great vids.
The husky case has been clutch for transporting the starlink. Glad you found the video insightful and helpful 👌🏽
Thank you for the comparison I’m currently trying to make a decision on which of the two are best for me. I’m leaning on star link but haven’t fully decided
They just released the gen 3 unit for starlink so you might be able to even pick up the gen 2 (the one I have) for even cheaper now. There was talks that the actual dish would be smaller but from what I have seen, I don't think that is the case.
@@hunter_pauley they look to be the same size. The equipment cost is the same I just need to read up on the roaming plan. Looking more like star link is the best solution for me
I suspect you purchased before the mobility version of the Starlink came out. Would you ever think of swapping versions? I believe the only plus would be able to have it connect even while moving.
I believe you are talking about the high performance dish maybe? At the price point of 2500 for just the equipment, I couldn’t justify it.
@@hunter_pauley yup. Gotcha. Makes sense.
Mobile is super expensive. Cheaper to go the regular dish route and modify it with a flat case
Does anyone know if a Weboost Multihome would work in a camper at a park with one bar? I don’t have service until I walk 20 feet from my camper.
I’d like to try the weboost. But I am going to be purchasing Starlink as well. The weboost has no cell plan. A 1 time purchase of 300-500$.
As for starlink I would like to convert or buy the mobile roamer version. But the plans are going up to 250$ which gets very expensive. I like that you can pause your membership at anytime I had not heard that before.
My roam package is $150 per month and I have had it paused since October. I think the WeBoost is a valid option if you are in areas where you THINK you will have cell service. Most of the spots I go to, this is not the case.
Have you been in a situation that trees completely blocked your signal. We have a travel trailer and like to park in the shade.
Yes and if needed, I will just use the starlink stand and the stock 75 foot cable to move it. You can also upgrade to a 150 foot cable if needed.
If neither of those work, I have read some people do the “5 gallon bucket” method and drop the dish face up in there. Essentially you’re forcing the dish to point straight up for a signal vs being obstructed by the trees. I haven’t tried it yet but folks seem to have good luck.
Do you use Starlink while driving?? If it isn’t practical, does it not make sense to keep the weBoost as well?
@@avr01 I have used it while driving. WeBoost isn’t practical in my application because there is zero chance of getting service where I’m at.
@@hunter_pauley Right. I was just wondering about "during the drive", getting *to* the location(s) where cell=0. I would think weBoost can extend your cell > 0 reach while on your way. But I get what you're saying. What was it like using Starlink while driving? How did you mount your dish so as to point in useful direction while also dealing with wind forces? Is it practical to leave it as a permanent solution? Thanks so much for your insight Hunter!!
