Bushcamp - Installing A Cell Phone Signal Booster in My Offgrid Cabin (Weboost Drive Sleek)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 тра 2021
- In this video we install a cell phone signal booster in my offgrid cabin. This particular cell phone booster is called the weboost drive sleek and we put it to the the test to see if it is able to produce reliable cell service in my cabin.
Join my dog and I at our wilderness homestead in the Canadian North. This channel features videos on off-the-grid lifestyle and building, trapline adventures, hunting, fishing, trucks and much more!
I live off the land in a self reliant and self sufficient lifestyle. The land provides me with everything I need. My offgrid cabin is solar powered, heated by a wood stove and most everything I eat comes from the land; fish, eggs from my chickens, and many different wild game species. The lifestyle I live is essentially expense free and blesses me with the opportunity to do whatever I please.
In the winter months we head out on the trapline and ethically harvest fur bearing animals. Through moderate and sustainable methods I snare and trap these animals and work on, and sell the pelts at auction which provides a decent income for me to invest in my off the grid homestead and lifestyle.

Friends trust me, do not buy this thing or anything weboost for that matter. Absolute headache and some of the worst money I have ever spent. It has been broken more than it has been working. I have gotten multiple replacement parts on warranty and still it is not working. customer service is very difficult and they will not refund me and are very hesitant to send me anything else to fix it! absolute nightmare product and company!
Holy shit! This is the first time I've watched him stoned, and drunk, I understood every thing he said!
Lol! I'm from the Canadian north so this is kinda my native language... but I totally could see him being hard to understand considering how hurried he talks.
@@greatwhitenorthlife2327 i think he speaks very slowly. english isn't my native language and i've been watching him at 1.5 speed.
He is not stoned or drunk...CO- Defendant more like your stoned and drunk and you wish you could do all the work he does to set up his life the way he wants it.
@@Dstew57A well, you know what you do when you “assume” you understood what I was saying!
Because you have a metal roof, and by the window is the thinnest barrier, put it on your roof, and it will jump up even more..
Yes. Put it on yur roof. The reason being is the roof will act as a ground plane for the antenna increasing the ability to both receive and transmit a signal significantly.
I agree may be try both sides of roof try some different places its same up moose head as well less ur right in a town internet is not much got huges net works but not worth it no good plans but good luck & god bless friend I would reache out put it on roof
Same opinion - Outside - Try to put it on the face of the roof that towards the nearest tower.
If I were 20 years old again. I'd live exactly like you. Big Andrew Stanley fan too.
Andrew is the man too! I love the location he's got over there.
@@greatwhitenorthlife2327 a.
Who's Andrew Stanley ? For a non native english speaker ^^ Any wikipedia page or content about that guy? Just curious :)
@@RoamingMustang look up TheWildNorth on UA-cam. Hes a trapper in northern Manitoba I believe. If you like trap lines and inlines trapping videos you will probably enjoy this guy.
I bought something can’t show you quite yet. Is it a mail order bride.😄😄😄😄😄 LOL
Understand about bringing more electronics into the bush. People think living off grid means you're living without convienences, but off grid doesn't mean you don't have power and can't be comfortable. We're off grid with solar, an lp generator for backup, tv, internet, cell phone booster, computers, hot water gas boiler and lights in every room of our cabin. Completely understand about being conflicted having more electronic items in the bush. It's just an awesome feeling to be surrounded by nature. Hats off to you for living life the way you want. Sometimes less is more.
Cougar is a Happy Camper at Bush Camp!!!
I see Kyle as a civil engineer specializing in solar systems and custom designing systems over the internet for his northern Saskatchewan neighbours and businesses. You have the aptitude, alright and the intelligence. It's a joy to watch you grow as an individual.
I love this video
You should catch the rain water off the hen house and the shop more the better !! 🍻
Agree with that :)
Off grid simply means not connected to the electric power grid. Bush life is exactly what you’re doing. You should continue doing exactly what you’re doing. Do what makes you happy! That’s what your channel is all about. A day in the life.
Yeah, definitely use a rifle and not a stick for bear, lol. I about fell out of my chair when you said that, lol
First thing return that vehicle booster kit and get the one made for home. The home kit has a much better antenna and better amplifier. Second you must find your closest cell tower and install the antenna outside your cabin and aim it at the cell tower. You can download an app to your phone which shows where your tower is. The higher you get the antenna the better. Good luck.
Don’t you want to get it to the tallest point on your home?
@@timsullivan5283 Hey Tim - THINK LIGHTNING.
Just one strike and 'things' will never be the same again.
"I'm gonna use my rifle instead of a stick." Solid choice. Truly solid. 8-) Off grid and out in the wilderness doesn't mean you have to live in a mud hut with an open fire.
Nice
Cannot get enough of this channel!! 💙
LOL @ 29:40 The pop knocked you back on your ass. Love your videos bud. I watch every one.
Also, Since the signal booster is designed for a car you might get a better signal if you put it outside with a more direct line of sight to the nearest cell tower.
Yes, you have to get out from under your Faraday Cage metal roof to grab the cell tower signal. Just like light won't go through a solid wood wall, Elewcrtonic signals won't go through a metal wall or roof. Been there, Done that, eh!
Hey, da antenna is supposed to be outside. Put it on da roof of your cabin... OUTSIDE my brother
I love the fishy bed spread
You have big "Solar System?"
Man! Is it in our Milky Way galaxy? No wonder you need a signal booster! Lol
Now that’s some Red Green jackery on the ‘ol breaker bar my friend! Glad it worked!🤣
Awesome brother smart young man!
You make things easy for those people who want to live with solar
Am I happy to see you young man!
Great to see you do a fishing video up there
Most magnet mount antennas need a good ground plane to work well. Try putting it on one of your cast iron pans and see how she works.
You'll love the booster, weboost is awesome!!!!!!!!!
I agree with your comment about Gorilla glue. Good video.
WOW
I have used the WeBoost for several years at my cabin. I can tell you... you gotta get that antenna outside your metal roof... you won’t get for shit signal through your roof or even your walls. I went from one bar inside to 4 bars after I put the antenna on the roof! Also internet speed is dependent on the servers your are hooked to... not enough server capacity and your internet speed drops.
Hello friend! Glad to see you and Cougar. So happy for you each time you add a convenience to the homestead. Be well, stay safe and enjoy the nice weather in the coming months.
Love your videos, and your awesome dude, so interesting thanks
28:40 if ya ain't a cheatin, ya ain't a tryin hard enough. 😁
Off grid doesn't mean roughing it. Just means not relying on outside utility
ya thats what i said
I have 12 acres in BC, 45 minutes from the closest pay phone. Remember those? 5 years ago the local landowners group decided to put in a cell relay and we got a cell boost at our property too. It has totally changed the feel and activities at our property. Slippery slope my friend. Keep on keepin on!
True but he's by himself, he should have at least one good connection.
Love watching your videos, man I always get at least a couple of laughs... But theres a couple of times when you're explaining stuff about your new kettle in the kitchen where you're standing just right and your deer behind you makes it look like you have antlers LOL
You should pick up the book. The lost ways. Very interesting book. Especially for your life style. Wish I could be out there doing something like this. Have a great day bud.
glad you got good out of coyotes was a good year for you . pet the pup
That's the first time I've seen that trailer hitch/jack trick. Good on ya mate!
YES we’ve been looking for something like this 🙌 thank you for sharing! Love the videos 🇨🇦
19:09 “Hey…hey, that prolly pretty good for me and the girls I go with.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Dude I love your Canadian sayings, keep em rolling 💯👍
This is definitely the best channel on effin YT! Anything else is almost unwatchable. Keep on going my friend!
U r a modern trapper,and ands good !! Love ur accent.
It's all about the bush for me too lad!
Try putting it outside the cabin. The cabin will knock the signal down.
The outdoor antenna needs to go outside as high as he can put it, and be as far away from the indoor antenna as possible. That building is so small he might need to put the outdoor antenna on a tower out in the yard. That antenna is too small though he needs a bigger one. His battery in his phone would last longer too if he turns airplane mode on when he doesn't have signal. When a cellular modem has no signal it uses maximum power all the time seeking one even if there isn't one to be found. THE WIRES ARE LONG FOR THESE REASONS.
@@hithere7382 just sticking it to the roof would be best. There is no indoor antenna. Just the booster. The roof should be high enough. Inside just won’t work as the antennas aren’t made to work like that on the car ones.
@@ncphenom2309 That cradle is the indoor antenna. Just because it's small and designed to work over such a short distance doesn't mean it isn't an antenna. Unless he is plugging the thing directly into the phone there is an antenna or several antennae involved.
That’s what I was thinking the whole time. It would magnetize to the metal roof of the cabin 💯👍
@@southernappalachianrecon not strongly enough to resist severe weather. The way to do it is a pole mounted to a pipe or something that is mounted to your roof. Usually people like to run them up the side of the house so they don't make new roof penetration but you can do that too if you want.
So many practical solutions for things. I researched the cellular boosters right away due to real spotty coverage at my home. May just do the trick.
Pretty good enough for me and the girls i go for! words to live by
In Canada, when we're not trapping, we're reading Dostoevsky.
Great video thanks again
Great show
Hi buddy, great to have you back looking well.
It's always a good day when I see Traplines Bushcamp Guy uploaded a vid! Keep safe and well and a big squeeze for Pooch. J
Most truck stops carry 12 volt slow cookers. Might be worth getting one.
Good to see you! Camp looks so peaceful & beautiful. Can we expect to see some fishing footage in the next few months? Dostoevsky is always a good read; impressed with your reading material & range of interests.
Great video!I love all the fire wood you have put up!
Gotta love ya bud.......always put a smile on my face when I watch your videos. Keep them coming 👍👍👍
The booster is a tool that you use for youtube and to use for information. You've got the right attitude, I don't think it'll be an issue. Just an unsolicited observation from someone that loves watching your channel :)
“ good enough for me and the girls I go with…”. rotfl……🤣😂😅
Love all the projects! Keep it up!!
awesome vid love you mate hang in there summer is coming hugs till next time.
Mate, don't you have a metal roof? Put the aerial outside!
Put the antenna on the roof get it out of the cabin 👍😎👍 you got siding moisture barrier insulation wall wood you boxed in also it might get to cold for the gorilla glue up there it may break down from the cold weather
I totally agree with you on your ideas on conveniences!! I love the bush I build custom chainsaw but may they way they used to do it sure interest me, different ways to sharpen axes or tube hand saws really cool stuff when you start messing with it.
Thanks for another great video. You just do you and to be honest its refreshing to see at your age especially. I close to twice your age and am still looking for the peace and mindset you have. Do whatever makes you happy. Live life in the moment. That's what matter in the end.
Frequently amazed, always entertained and does a good job with the camera and editing work, alone, on his own.
Love the videos. I don't think you have to justify the way you live to us ,You are off grid and with some modern appliances. What matters is you are living life on your terms and how you want.
You are off grid...but not off your rocker! Brewed coffee tastes dandy out of electric drip or percolator pots...easier and less messy than cowboy style open fire boiled coffee grounds! 😎👍
Dude your using a spin cast rod with a baitcast reel. That will never work well... Lol love your spirit and your vlog you Crack me up.
We want more episodes I really enjoy watching you!
Hello bush baby. I'm glad you got that booster. Like you I see no problem with making life easy and more pleasant. Even having those chickens is a great idea. Soon you will have saved water and we will find out if the water heater was a good idea. I'm betting yes. What music do you listen to when you do? I like everything but rap. I'm glad it's dry enough to drive in now. Very entertaining video. Peace.
Love the videos ! Awesome job mate ! We ues amsoil also ! Great stuf eh. Awesome tips n tricks too.! Keep em coming !!!!!
You should do a a video on what you keep in your truck
Great video. I tell my friends and they thank me. I live similar too… comfortably. p.s. love the Dostoevsky.
Can't wait till trapping season starts love watching you snare I can't snare here in the States but starting to Cable restraint anyway keep up the good fight
So glad to hear you did good with the sales 👍👍 I think you have the right idea utilising the solar power and shouldn't feel guilty about it, any Chaga fungus in those Birch trees? It's ment to be great in tea, all the health bla bla 🍳😎👍
Really cool channel
Hello my friend in the north!
When is your next video? I can't wait I'm so excited!!!!
Lots of fun RV full timers use that weboost they seem to like the way they work. You have marked lots off you todo list. Good fixes happening
Get the antenna out on the roof top . The better model with the high gain antenna would give you full scale signal. I have & use one. Cheers
When is your next video??? I can't wait I'm so excited!!!
Have you thought about putting the cell booster antenna outside your window to see if reception is better? Good luck
Put a leader on your line if your fishing (sharks) Big Jacks/walleye still put a swivel and florcarbon 3-4 line you tie to your spoon or jig! Getting lots of projects done 👍 Communication for you is VERY IMPORTANT... A Tower might be good idea. Highest point u have. Pooch in more of your video today! Labs are the best👍 B Deacon Manitoba
You doing pretty good for living out in the Bush and getting one bar I have really crappy service and I live in a small town in South central Idaho and I am lucky if I get One bar sometimes up to Three
I have a small cabin too, I had to mount the antenna in tree to get the distance needed between it and the transmitter inside. The farther apart they are the better the signal.
AYYYYEEE BUDD!
G’day from Australia!
Put the antenna on the roof outside! Will help drastically and give it a sheet metal ground plane 1mx1m (39inches) will work for that antenna.
Hope that helps mate!
It’s about time you put a video out. I’ve resorted to trying out other trapping videos. Ha Ha just kiddin. Just keep sendin her.
Really like your channel, But man ,I felt like,I was on speed, Watching this one, lol
get the antenna as high as you can, and make sure it has "line of sight" with the cell tower you're trying to communicate with. the more trees and house between the tower and your receiver the more obstructed the signal will be.
I watch your channel because you're the genuine article. plus I dont think hot chocolate means your not living the offgrid bush lifestyle.
there are days i wish we had one of them
Well one good thing, ya got a metal roof so stick it out there and see if ya get a better signal! Off grid means not reling on public services and nothing more. having a coffee pot etc is not meaning your not off grid. Having gas, and elec hooked to your house is on grid. Using solor power to provide you the use of lights ,coffee pots fridge etc is off grid.
You should build a loading n unloading Ramp with Dirt or dig a Slanted hole in the ground n make life easier n faster 😆
Hey you can take a bungee cord and a eye bolt to hold down the can from blowing away. Your bait caster have to much line the will give you a birds nest. There should be a line to fill it to even if you have it adjusted right I smell bird nest. Enjoy your fishing when you get the chance 👍
Here's an idea for ya. Build a wood stove freezer. Think about it. A propane freezer works on heat. Keep da vids comin!
Put on your Roof 😆
Thicker Crazy Glue works awesome for eyelit repair on fishing rods but first lightly sand the tip before applying the glue to the rod tip and the inside of the eyelit replacement piece
Something cool? A drone!
