Checked the Starlink app to see the draw and it is at about 20 watts. We are on the road. My wife is listening to Pandora and I am watching KZbin. Just to clarify she is driving. I have a few other things running in the van such as tool battery chargers/fridge so there was likely something else drawing at the time. The Storyteller battery lasts days without a high idle/ driving.

Would be very cumbersome but could be done. Probably will add another lock and eye to the other side of the handle to prevent that. Thanks for the comment!!! Don't take my Starlink mini before I have a chance to remedy it 😀Just as a side note I was cutting new trailer chains to length with my 18v angle grinder with a cutting wheel and it cut like butter in a matter of moments, so I guess safety measures are there to have the robber go to an easier target.

I switched the wire in the ATP connector to the SAE extension cable, although this was a bit of a pain. Here is a video to show how. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6S6nWdod7WZmKc Going back I probably would had just connected the wires out of the pigtail to my black and red wires of the SAE extension cable. This is the connector that I use to unplug and to plug it in on the SAE side near the location of the dish. This part is outside of the waterproof housing. Inside the waterproof housing I connected the SAE cable/ 2.1 mm female barrel connector to the Starlink style cable. I used some silicone on the end with the two flat cables after I tightened it down to keep it waterproof. Then simply plug the Starlink style cable with the two gaskets into the mini. You are all set for an awesome system. Just got back from Moab and used it on the trip and it worked great. Even through some crazy rain/ wind on the way home.

@@tridentadventure3022 Thanks for the additional info, waiting on Striker mount to start the project. Thanks again.

@@garyschaecherYou will love the setup. Let me know how it comes together. 😊

Cannot thank you enough for making a solid mount for this awesome dish. I am glad you are including Nyloc nuts with the orders in the future. People can be assured they will have an amazing mount for their portable link to the internet wherever they go. 😊

I feel Ike I am just scratching the surface of the ways this mount and dish can be used. Thanks for the comment. I really love this solution. 😊

You're using 100 watts! My mini draws less than 30 watts even running you tube videos. 😜

@@brotherkith I did not remember I had other things drawing power at the time. I checked the Starlink app and it draws less than 20 watts. This is with both Pandora and KZbin running while driving. It really does sip energy. Thanks for the comment.

Most likely its the fridge drawing about 70w on top of the Mini.

@@ecojigs I think you are probably right about the draw. Need to keep that Topo Chico ice cold for a moments notice of thirst. I love the volta battery that gives me days of power and a good nights sleep running the air conditioner.

Starlink is a very powerful tool. Glad to hear you are liking the Gen3 dish. It is amazing to be out in the middle of nowhere and still have connection if I need it.

Agreed!! I got it from Striker Fabrication and it works great for my needs.

There is so much information on the app. I have not looked into the power consumption but will check it out. Will be looking forward to seeing you soon!

@@Lt184 thanks for the kind words. We were also there in May! Perhaps we saw you. We did see 2 STOs while we were there. We always wave, so if you passed someone waving at you it was probably us! 😊 Yes, we have an in person job as well. For now… 😏 The goal is to one day have traveling as our job or at least have a remote job we can do while traveling. For now it's vacations as much as possible. Save up $$, PTO, and jet out. Then return home to start the process all over. 2023 was a good year. We were able to do several 4 week trips. 2024 hasn't worked out that way yet, but we still have half the year to go so hopefully that will turn around. At the beginning of this trail there are 3 or 4 campgrounds, The Ledge Campgrounds, that are filled on a 1st come basis. Nightly fee is required. This area we stopped to film seemed to be for camping, but there wasn’t a sign against or in favor of camping. There was an established path and a fire ring so it seems like people must camp there. Safe travels! Here’s to hoping they’ll be more frequent for both of us. 🤞

@@tridentadventure3022 yes we saw a total of 4 STOs in our travels during our trip as well. And like you we ALWAYS wave. Thank you for such a kind reply btw, and in closing we second that hope of more adventures for us all 😊

You should!

Thanks for the kind words. We haven't done the Lost Coast trip, but the trip we did with @warnervansutah and @voyageroutdoorsltd from Page, AZ to Escalante, UT was amazing. We hope to do more trips with them soon.

Oh no! This clip was a couple years ago, but I've seen what's happening there now. Hope you're safe.

Thank you! Stay tuned we have more coming down the pipe. Hope our paths cross again, the sooner the better!

You blinked didn’t you? 😂

We love them too! We’ve had two other weims in the past. They are just the best dogs IF you keep them active. We learned that lesson the hard way. Our first weim ate through our drywall!! Lesson learned. Thanks for watching.

@@tridentadventure3022 That is 100% true. My parents had a backyard with a pool and only a few hundred square feet for the dogs to run around in and they would get to go out to our hunting lease each weekend but that was not enough exercise for them and they tended to misbehave. Now that they live on a couple acres of property their dogs are much better behaved.

There is a volume and even mute if your lil ears can’t handle actual music: point to note ( okay professor )

We appreciate your feedback, but it seems our tastes in music diverge. We cherish the authenticity of our experiences, even if they don't align with everyone's preferences. While you may find the music "loud" and "screeching", for us, it's part of the ambiance we enjoy. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts, but we'll continue to prioritize genuine experiences over conforming to conventional standards.

Thank you very much!

Yeah I don't get it.

Thank you! You too!

The sky did most of the work. ;)

There are a lot of rainy days in the winter but there are a few days that are beautifully sunny. Thanks of the comment.

April to July is what I have read but I have never seen them for myself. Apparently smelt spawn on the beaches in Yachats. I also have not been present for that.
