I dont think that was starlink, everyone mentions it though.
The phone i used for that shot takes a series of images and overlaps them into one using software. That was a satellite id guess. We did see starlink one night and it was WAY too fast for me to get a pic of.
The only complaints my girls had was the super long 15 hour drive we had both ways. (one 15 then a 12 the next day) if you can fun that up somehow there wont be much for them to complain about. Its amazing out there.
4 vehicles - two gladiators, one 4 runner and a Tacoma headed west to find adventure on what seemed like the surface of mars (at least to or east coast eyes). It was amazing. Episode 1 was basically just to lay some ground work. My family really loved it out there, grumblings of selling all our...
A friend has been running this radio for a while and its been good to him so I picked one up for myself.
Its a 15 Watt GMRS MicroMobile Two Way Radio. Its got NOAA and supposedly a 50 mile no obstructions distance. This was a welcome upgrade from my handheld unit I was constantly fumbling with...
The OVS was not nearly as easy to setup or put away as the roofnest, also the lights are an epic bonus. I was showing my friend the OVS and he said "this is awful, look at my roofnest." I just liked it WAY more. I will say the OVS having the poles stored in with the awning is a nice feature. Its...
I dont drink so. I dont expect us to do much in the way of seeking altitudes but i figure if our path goes through Colorado then its par for the course.
most of the day will be driving leapfrogging place to place, find an epic spot for camp we'll call it for the day. Seeing what is around the next bend is our style. But yeah I def want to keep my eyes on the road, ive seen some switchback videos! O_O
Right state park is something I'm going to skip. Mostly don't plan on flying super high just those cool trailing shots and scenery itself for flavor. :)
Also Drone flight, I know basically no state park without a permit but ill just pass worrying about it and not fly there. I do my best to follow the rules (working on 107 as I type this).
YES! My friend has a big air compressor and so do I. I keep a patch kit in the truck I may grab spare valve step repair kits also. Im a weather bug and try and watch it very closely. Ill have my middle daughter also keep an eye on that. (im big on giving kids tasks and things to do). I have a...
Im interested but would it be mostly for calling "911" and knowing your coords id guess?
Luckily my wife is an ER nurse and did wound care for years, we plan on taking a full med kit with us and snake bite stuff.
Luckily I taught my youngest kids to drink water constantly already. My oldest needs to work on it though!
I think they may have an assortment of apps and things spread out across the group. Im mostly the video guy and plan on getting the cool drone shots and astrophotography stuff.
