Here, this guy has the best videos on Starlink, and last week had a good one on recent plan changes, and current subscription plans, roaming, recent changes, what is best for overlanding, turning plan on and off, etc. https://youtube.com/@starlinkhardware?si=dsP8BXcH3Q8M-JE0

Made a video, should help folks figure solar needs. Winter vs. Summer Solar, Camping/Overlanding. Calculations & Tests, North/South Borders. Video works, won't play embedded here, click "watch on Youtube " to see video. Additional info in video description. How much solar power when...

How much electricity does it take to make a 2-person camping breakfast? I make 2 meals each 2c coffee, bowl of oatmeal, 3pc thick bacon, 2 eggs. I use the most energy efficient cooking, electric kettle and induction cooktop. Use this info to help estimate how much electricity you need in...

Good to know, thx! I think mine are Fiable from HD, but will pick up a couple more.

Quick video I made showing the tools in my DeWalt setup I use on the trail and camping. I spent a bunch of time looking for chainsaws and electric chainsaws... I got tired of them leaking oil constantly. Now I have replaced it with reciprocating saw, works great on trail clearing, no mess...

Lol, I clicked because I thought it was a cooking post on camping after-dinner snacks.

We don't have the Prado in the US, or even the Landcruiser really. In 2024 they introduced a LC here again, but I have read that it is actually just the Prado. However, this guy Ronny Dahl in Australia has a ton of Prado videos. His camera chase car is a Prado, so it can do a ton of...

I will take a look at that. I like electric kettles a lot ;)

Various videos out there. However, the Stokes is just an electric frypan, sitting on an electric kettle base, nothing more. Nothing special about it's embedded heating elements, compared to regular old electric skillet. I find it to have every bad part of appliance design, with no benefits...

600 amps lol... I don't think so. That's a cable like your forearm. It's 600W ;)

The power plate with amps and volts will give actual power use. However, YES, microwaves are advertised using their MAGNETRON OUTPUT WATTS, NOT POWER USE! Most microwaves are about 65% efficient at converting input electricity to output magnetron waves... only part of that gets intercepted by...

For battery or powerstation usage, I'd rather test and measure, than guess and calculate. That's the point of this video, the actual max wattage is shown, 1069W, and the actual Watt-hrs is shown, not an estimated calc off amps. For folks with 2000Wh and less, having real actual numbers to base...

Just to round things out, here is the microwave water boil power test. For smallest microwave, for overland cooking. (Video plays fine, just have to watch on Youtube, click the link below that says "watch on youtube". Energy to boil 500ml water, about 2c, in Watt-hrs. Compared to Induction...

Powerstation Charging Options. We get a lot of questions on how to set up a powerstation for charging, in a truck camper. Particularly using an LFP as an inexpensive expansion, what cables need to be swapped around, alternator vs solar cable setups, etc. I made this video showing all ways I...

Thx! I've got several more short similar coming, trying to do everything I camp cook over course of a day.

This kind of thing. Super cheap, $25, nonstick, can be used as pot ot frypan. Because heating element is embedded in bottom, very high efficiency. So cheap you can't go wring, throw it away if it gets sticky. Good for electric cooking Limited-time deal for Prime Members: BELLA Electric...

Lol. Well, tons of folks are running these induction for years now 4x4 bumping, I've never seen a post about one breaking. Frigging corelle glass is similar, that will last to the heat death of the universe! Seriously, every window in camper shells proves this is a non ussue. Hot plates...

It has a smaller link on the video that says "watch on youtube", click on that. I'm not letting my videos play embedded anymore, because then people cant/don't read allllllll the info given in the video description, and end up asking or commenting on stuff I already typed right on the...

I'm not gonna lie... almost a year later with a response, and you didn't actually try THESE boards? And the text of your answer... this is the most "computer AI generated" sounding answer I've read all week. All fluff, zero actual content or commitment to an opinion. Did you actually write...

Here is a video I actually made today, testing energy used for reheating 1 meal 1 person, induction cooking. Just to help with some Watt-hrs baseline usage. I actually have a series Im editing, with electric kettle, and small microwave. All based on truck camping using powerstation or...
