I come in Peace
I'd be interested to hear about how you're powering it and how much power it needs. I'm seriously thinking about it after borrowing others wifi in remote locations.

I just looked at those this morning. I didn't realize the monthly fee would be so expensive.

Well, where my 5er is at right now, I have a 50amp power hook up. Was unable to get internet out that far though. I know my brother has built multiple systems for them in his shop, and uses his with an inverter and big battery bank. He also converted a few for 12volt. It does use power, the Gen-3 that I just got has a label of 195 Watts. I am assuming that’s its max, when the dish is heated for snow melt.

Initial set up/equipment is expensive. I am $120/month for it.
I don’t have Sat, or cable TV. Figured the cost of home internet with those combined is probably close to that. Its I think 150/ for the mobile service.

The company I ordered a flatmount for has info on the 12v conversion.
www.trioflatmount.com
"Our Gen 3 12V power supply plugs directly into the Gen 3 Starlink Router. This eliminates the wasted idle draw of powering it through a large inverter (30-50 watts waste for a 3000W inverter!).
Simply unplug the 110V Starlink power supply and plug in our 280W power supply and connect it to a 12V OR 24V power source. Our converter boosts this to the 56V that the Gen 3 router and dish need.
After testing numerous power supplies we finally had one manufactured overseas. To eliminate any concern about ripple voltage (and subsequent drop outs and/or reduced speeds), we install a capacitor as well as the appropriate barrel connector that works seamlessly with the Starlink Gen 3 router.
Power Consumption tested over 1 hour with constant upload/download internet: 63 Wh (4.5A at 13.8V). "

Awesome! Can't wait to get mine out. Still waiting for it to warm up here a bit and for the street sweepers to clear the loose gravel from the roads.I got a bit distracted. I will see what i can do about getting the kits out, and doing a write up.
I did get the moto out today. Twas a beautiful day, she fired right up and ran like a dream. Just outside the garage.

I really like ours. The big mod for me was ditching that provided router and power supply and switching to a DC native system.

I haven’t forgotten about the med kits. It’s been dumping rain last weekend, and off and on all week. So I am waiting for a nice day. That will allow me to spread everything out on the flatbed for space.

A few teaser shots, as i will do the write up at work on Monday.
And we can really dig into this. By all means please any and all questions you have. It will most likely take 3-5 posts.

My professional life, is about remote medicine and risk management. We will go over my medical “kits”, what’s in them. And why.
It’s all designed to be modular, and scaled. So add more when its needed, or small kit based off of expected patients/injury’s. These have all been field proven, in a professional capacity. I will do my best to cover everything, but am sure to forget. So please ask away, questions are always good.
Let’s start out with the simple, easy to go over ones.
In this case the Blackhawk Medical Roll. This one was purchased in 2016, and is my second. My original went with my brother on his Pan American trip and served him well.
He has a funny story about a border crossing where they told him that he needed more medical supplies before he would be allowed to cross. And Showed them a small glove box fiorst aid kit. When they said it was not good enough, he got into the camper and rolled out the one I built for him. Their eyes got wide, and they allowed him to continue on. It had differences into what I placed inside. As to what this one does.
Also noteworthy, none of these came with medical equipment, or supplies inside. All that was sourced separately by me. Usually from Galls, North American Rescue, Amazon and sometimes just the closest store.
Depending on how much you stuff inside it can roll up pretty thin. And you may notice a common thread in what I have found to work well. Like the clear pouches, usually beats labels.
I always keep a few pairs of gloves in my pocket when working, And could always jam a few pairs in one of the open pockets of the roll. Also, you can do a lot depending on what is happening of course. By directing the PT to do tasks, w/o the need to use gloves.
You will notice here; it’s not individually packages as far as the medications go.
That’s because, here if it makes noise when you move it. No big deal, as it’s not something that gets hiked with.
And because I usually bring this along with my main pack when only doing first aid for an event. It’s the stuff I know I will most likely need as well as the things I will go through the most. Without needing to break open anything different.
No saline, as if there is water than can be drank, it works to flush out a wound. And those small water bottles are almost always everywhere, a little hole in the top. And you have a quick, great and easy way to flush a wound.
• Benadryl,
• Ibuprofen,
• Aspirin,
• Tylenol,
• Anti itch spray,
• Burn relief spray,
• 4X4,
• 2X2,
• rolled gauze,
• tapes,
• Ace Bandage,
• Band-Aids,
• antibiotic creams,
• Alcohol schwabies.
In the vast majority of large public events I have worked, what’s above is 98% of what’s needed. Its tummy aches, and band-aids.

Usually added, (But in my main kit/bag) Just not in there restocked yet. I also have a large clear tote, that’s has all the overstock and extra stuff. Sometimes left at home, or in the truck, or if I will be there a few days. With me, it also has the first-aid/medical signs.
You will also notice, all these can be hung and accessed as well. If I have a canopy/building/trailer. A lot of the things listed previously would be placed inside the North American Rescue CCRB,( Combat Casualty Response Bag) Trauma sheet, etc. They changed names as they were manufactured. Depending on the DOD contract at the time.
And hung on the wall. These also hang of the side of the best top canopy of the ZR2. And a 10x10 fits around it very well.
The individual bags we will go over later, also fit well into these pouches. The ones from my coyote tan back pack/main kit.
As you see, this could also be worn in as a backpack. However I have never really used it like that.
Many other pouches, as well. You will see many have Velcro on the back, and also have color coded handles.
- Antacid,
- Feminine hygiene products
- Sunscreen
- Maybe a few things I am forgetting.
- Heater/ little buddy or small electric tower heater.
- Extra blankets
- Water/Ice. Again those little 12oz water bottles.
- Chicken soup stock/ broth from cubes. Easy toi swallow and gets calories and salt back into the system Maybe hot co co for kids. >If I am expecting cold issues, like maybe a polar plunge, or ultra. Mixed into a large 5gal igloo.

If I am expecting to need more clinical resources, or am there for more than 1st aid. The small black back pack comes out. It is designed to strap onto the main/primary pack. However, it can also be used as its own pack.
For example, they are bringing me in specifically for Ear Nose Throat, Eyes, Dental, wound closure. To a facility already stocked. This is the bag I use.
You could also join multiples of the small ones together, to make a bigger pack. In this picture you can see it joined to the main pack. It actually has buckles that would keep it very tight to the front, I however did not want to untick them all for the photo.
Below, is a small pelican case, that I keep in an unlabeled pocket. But it would have medications that are in a vial, and or controlled. The tiny Velcro patches stick to the vials and they stick to the box.
I was replacing the labels in this, the
Lower mesh pockets have
“IV” in the top
Middle I do not have marked, but usually hold my stethoscope, BP cuff, Pulse Ox, etc In this photo it has some generic ones in there.
The bottom mesh has “gloves”
The close up photo, the server said was a no go.
Suture and wound closure, is as it says.
ENT, with the yellow case. Has a North American Rescue Corpsman kit. I will go over it later.
The washed out label is ‘Dental” But has what’s needed for a temp cavity filling, Temp filling compound, etc
REMT 5931, signifies the original graduating class for the REMT MCPIC. Remote Emergency Medical Technician, Medical Care Person In Charge.
And oh so many pockets.

Held, for the pictures of the ENT, Suture, Dental, specific equipment.
^ IV Fluid/Drip set. 1k/ml. I should switch for two 500's.
And a copy of my med licensure, so I dont get any trouble from TSA.
ENT, diagnostic tools + Fluorescien Sodium. Used to do a dye test of the eye. If there is an abrasion it will pool, and glow under a black light. Will also scare people during Halloween. ^^

Lets chat about labels. I was originally going to have Velcro name tags made with labels for every pouch, and bag, etc. It was going to be a few hundred bucks. But mainly, I learned I did not need it. When I was young in this, I had mentioned that to someone who had been in the game a long time.
He recommended just using the cloth name tape, and permanent marker. It’s been aces for over 10+ years. Is simple, easy to change. So it stuck. And has been used hard, thrown around, and left in vehicles in all maner of temps.
A partial picture of the clear tote, with overstock supplies. And Individually packaged meds in bulk.
Not bad for cheap, and yeard of hard use. Labels still there and working well.
An anatolian shepard who loads herself up anytime the tailgate is down/ overstock box.
And a pretty typical simple, 1st aid only set up for a short time.
Note my old bag, with the black/rubber covered zippers.

My primary bag, this caries all of the things, Except a monitor/AED and O2.
Other than that it’s just shy of a portable ambulance. This is my second bag. As my first broke the main zipper last year during the lantern festival. I had gotten it in I think 2009, and that was after it saw a few tours. It spent a long time when not working, in the back seat of my 04,
The original bag had black, rubberized type zippers. They were really nice, as well as silent. The one I have now. Is new, and the same design, but different. Not built as well as the others. You can find most of these now on Amazon, or Ebay. However specific batches were only sold under contract to the Depot Of Defense. And may fall under some other specific laws regarding US Mil Equipment, being shipped internationally. They do mostly offer EMS versions for most of their stuff now.
This bag is sold to DOD for the small amount of $1604.99/unit fully stocked….
No, I don’t have pockets that deep. I sourced the bag separately from the equipment.
^, this is kept in the back pouch, where you can also fit a hydration pack. Its an Obstetrics kit, A gown, and I usually have a body bag back there as well.^
Back pouch ^ Zipper and access
The small tan pouch actually hold about 10pairs of gloves. And works like a small dispenser. The longer pouch next to it, has a seatbelt cutter/z blade/glass breaker. ^^^
^ the black pouch is a traction splint, and works wonderfully. Picture a tent pole, used to realign a broken femur. ^
Patches and labels, to designate who I am, what I am, and why I may be there. Or times, when all signifying identifiers may need to be removed.
The pouches, pockets we will go over in the next section, also can easily be placed into a normal book bag, or Osprey backpack. As overt is not always the best choice.
As you can see, this bag is quite new. Still shiny and pretty.
