Rumer has it once Starlink activates their Direct To Cell service, emergency texting will be available for everyone using their standard LTE phones. They had it activated for the hurricane and from what I here it worked pretty good.

As already stated, the Buddy Heater is not going to help outdoors. If you want heat inside a tent then I would recommend a diesel heater. For outdoor heat nothing beats a wood fire. You can use a propane fire pit but it will not produce the heat as a wood fire.

I use a dual band VHF/UHF programed for GMRS and MURS. I also use a CB on the logging roads to avoid the log trucks. Usually not a problem on the weekends but if your out during the week it's good to have.

When I posted this, it was just released. Since then Starlink has made changes.

You have to have a home starlink service first and this is an add-on to your home service. 30 bucks more a month for 30 gigs and 1 dollar more for each additional gig you use beyond the 30 gig.

I will be there. Heading over on the 27th. My son's Pathfinder is one of the featured rigs.

I use starlink and for the most part have not had issues getting connected. Only once I was not able to get service and that is because we picked a spot that was completely under trees. I live in Oregon so lots of trees west of the Cascade. I got it for safety and use wifi calling so I can use...

I opted for a Starlink which has been reliable for me and gives me the ability to actually make phone calls to communicate in detail any issue I may be having in case of an emergency. Plus it gets me Internet in remote areas so I can update maps and do research if i want to change plans once out...

Lots of good info already posted. I have a dual band mobile so that I can use GMRS and MURS. MURS is VHF which gets better range and use GMRS when with people that don't have the MURS channels. The radio will monitor both bands at the same time I just have to switch to what I want to transmit...

Yes I know what the differences are and yes I am talking about the AGM. Both types have different charging requirements where AGM it is suggested to use a DC to DC charger since the charge voltage 14.6 and should be defiantly used for LifePo4. I am just not sure how well the AGM handles heat.

If your going to put it under the hood, just get a lead acid deep cycle. Then all you need is a isolator to connect the two. AGM Batteries are more for places where you don't want acid leaking from the battery and I have read that they don't like the heat generated in the engine compartment...

I would rather not since it starts from my home and don't want everyone to know that location.

I sent you the info. Leslie Gulch is on the map but we bypassed it. I would think you would come down 84 to Vale and go from there.

Download the Starlink App and use the obstruction finder to see how well of a view you have.

Cool idea, I just find a good spot and put mine on the ground. If it is windy I will put a rock on the stand.

We just got back from there. Just be make sure you go when it is dry. We had just a little bit of rain and instantly turned into a nasty sticky mud that fills your treads and makes your tires slick and takes forever to get off your truck. If you want I can send you our route but it starts from...

What converter are you using?

A license is also required for GMRS but is easy to get and covers the family. I use a TYT dual band radio programmed up for GMRS and MURS frequencies as well as all the GMRS repeaters in Oregon.

You can also convert it to 12 volts. There are several ways to do and uses a lot less power since you don't have the inverter loss. The best way is to put a standard 8 pin network plug on the Starlink cable and use a POE injector with a boost power supply and a travel router for the wi-fi and...

Yes it is a AGM.
