If you’re already camping in a tent why the concern about a pop up camper with fabric walls?

To me they are similar but not the same at all. My Inreach can sit in my pocket and always be with me in an emergency. My Starlink is great for many things but is not for emergencies. If I fall and break my leg or back out hunting/fishing/camping/etc I’m not going to be breaking out a Starlink...

No. They are entirely different devices designed for different purposes. A starlink is not an emergency beacon.

For $300k I would have expected the build not to look like someone went through the cheap apartment contractor aisle at Home Depot.

The testing I did with it was in my backyard with both WiFi and cell coverage. Figured turning it off was part of the steps since it asks about it.

A cell booster would not help, completely different system. Did you have your cell service and WiFi disabled? Pretty sure last time I played with the emergency satellite thing in the phone it made me do that first.

Yep, which works great until you’re towing at 1mi/kwh and less. At that point an 0-80% charge in my R1T only provided a 105 mile range, leaving little to no buffer for changes in road or weather conditions and often not enough range to make it from one DCFC to the next. A full charge was often...

With my R1T towing it was an hour or more of charging every 120 miles as opposed to a ten minute fuel stop every 350 miles in my diesel. On a long trip that adds up into days of extra time on the road, a big deal if you’re wanting to get somewhere quickly rather than just go slow and enjoy the...

I’m still using an eight year old Garmin Inreach. Other than some improvements in size (smaller/lighter), faster connection and better battery life it is just as capable of sending/receiving messages as the new devices.

*if you want to do it in a reasonable amount of time. The actual towing performance is excellent.

DOGE is on the case.

No idea but I’ll let you know how my $10 RM Baja is in a couple months.

$10 for three tickets or a 3x5 card, envelope and stamp for 50 tickets.

https://a.co/d/iJtshVd If you’re not carrying them to travel the lumber is probably the best solution. Easy, cheap, lasts a long time and no one’s going to be tempted to steal it when you’re not parked on it.

There are tons of commercially available options for leveling a RV like that. They won’t necessarily work any better than the 2x10 solution but they may store better for travel.

It’s a Ram 1500.

Yeah, but only kinda a half ton. I owned a 3/4 ton (‘18 Ram 2500 diesel) with a lower payload at 1950lbs vs the anticipated 2600lbs of this 1/2 ton.

7507 pounds is what Ram stated in the last few weeks.

These are with the 150-600 The 28-200 14mm Macro extension tubes Video quality

I use a Sony A74 that does well at both video and stills, with the right lenses. I typically take a 14mm, a 28-200mm and a 150-600mm with me to cover my uses. A dedicated macro lens would be nice but I’ve gotten by with extension tubes to increase magnification ratio so far.
