Happy New Year! That Starlink is the cats meow. Nice to see Mr. Fish getting out to do some camping with you too. You guys will never starve to death with all that food you had happening. Great place to unwind from the grind. Those foxes were pretty cool!

[@DSWadventures]

@TheVespap200e It was definitely a good weekend, and it was nice having some good company. Hahaha, no starvation here. The foxes are always neat to see slinking around. Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy New Year.

Happy New Year🎉 Can’t wait to see all the places you go in 2025. Thanks so much for all your informative videos. My husband and I just got our own Tab320 black canyon after watching how much you love yours. We are excited to get out of Vegas and away from the crowds for a few days. Your AZ state campgrounds look a lot nicer than ours in NV, we will have to come check them out!

[@DSWadventures]

That is very cool, I'm sure you will love your little T@b. We do have some very nice parks, haha I was hoping to hit a couple in Navada myself. Same as in Az this time of year, very hard to get a spot most places though. For a long time I've been wanting to stay at Valley of Fire. Unfortunately most of your parks are a good 7 to 10 hrs away from me, eventually I well get out there. Thank you for watching and commenting. Have a Happy New Year.

Happy New Year! Glad to see that you're still getting out. Maybe one day I can bribe you (large steaks, large beers) to have a gathering out west. Have a good 2025! I'm looking forward to my first trip back out in a couple months or sooner if there is a nice weekend coming up.

[@stevenjoseph8980]

Wait a second....did you say beef and brisket burgers? Holy crap that sounds good.

[@DSWadventures]

Hahaah, you never know. Yeah, the local frys store had Chuck brisket mix burger, sooooo good. Hope you get out there sooner than later, Thanks for watching and commenting again. Have a Happy New Year.

It took me several hours to sand the little bumps off the inside of my Lodge cast iron pan but it’s nice and smooth now. I wish my wife enjoyed boondocking but she gets scared of all the little noises and can’t sleep. It’s neat that you are able to go camping as often as you do.

[@DSWadventures]

I've reseasoned a few irons for friends in the past, that is a lot of sanding, hahaha. Even as much as I camp, those small sounds at night still put me on high alert, hahaha. Yes, I am very fortunate to be able to get out camping as much as I do. It's been very much needed. Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy New Year.

[@MikeNickel]

Got the mini as well - it’s fantastic! I’ve yet to hit the 50 Gig limit using it every other weekend and by my math, I’d need to exceed 165 Gig to make unlimited worth while. Oh, and “too many Coronas” was AWESEOME 😂

[@DSWadventures]

@MikeNickel i was worried I may use too much data at first, I'm supper happy with the 50gb plan, so cool. If I were full timing, maybe I'd need the unlimited plan, haha. BTW, have you ever paused service yet? I'm curious how that works as far as not getting billed and how easy it is to start service again.🤣🤣🤣😂😂 That dang squatch and alien are sneaky man. Hahaha

[@vrich3733]

Awesome. Good times. 👍

[@DSWadventures]

Thanks. Happy New Year.

[@jeffreydalesipes5234]

I just purchase a StarLink Mini and I love it, its amazing for boondocking

[@DSWadventures]

Awesome. I'm really impressed with it.

[@MyRanger12]

With the Starlink, if you pause service do you still pay a monthly subscription cost? Happy New year fellow Arizonian.

[@DSWadventures]

The smaller roam plan is 50 bucks for 50gb. You can opt to pay a buck a gig if you go over. The way I understand it, you are billed the 50 bucks, if you pause service you can use up the 50gb until it's gone, then you will have to reactivate the service again when you want to use the system again. Unless I read something wrong, It should pause the payment also until your ready to fire it up again. The cool thing is, if you get the unlimited roam, you can use it at home as your internet, then take it with you in the roam when needed. There are a couple of people on the you tube that explain the plan if you search for it.

[@MyRanger12]

@@DSWadventures I'm interested in getting one myself, I understood the 50gb cost, but thought you had to keep a $50 subscription each month. Let me know if you find out.

[@DSWadventures]

I just checked my app. It says if you pause service, you will not be billed. If you have already paid for the previous cycle, you will be able to continue use of service until the current billing cycle (month) has ended. I don't think you can roll over unused data though, darn haha. I'm curious if you can fully use your data up that month if paused, or if it just goes by billing date and you lose any extra you had. I will have to try it out and see what happens one day, also how quick and easy it is to unpause. There are a few different plan options also, so the pause may not be an option for those either.

[@MyRanger12]

@@DSWadventures Ok good to know so far. If that's all true then its worth it to me to get one. If I pay just for when I need it, that's awesome. I didn't want it in storage paying a subscription fee each month when not in use.

[@DSWadventures]

@MyRanger12 yep

[@michelle_pw]

Happy New Year! Safe travels in 2025.

[@DSWadventures]

Thank you. Happy New Year.

Well blue compass here in Tucson did get back to me last night. And yes, it’s $800 for glycol change. This is just robbery if I was a little younger, I would definitely pursue how to do this and start my own business mobile. I would definitely undercut all these RV places and I’m telling you you would make a fortune.

[@DSWadventures]

Yep, it seems very steep. I've heard some charging 1200 or more, too. Everything has gotten so expensive. Rv and auto hourly rate right now has shot up to about 185 bucks just for labor. Smh. Going to cost even more for me because I have to drive 3 -4 hours to get it done. I may have them do the first change, I will come up with a second on my own at this rate.
