- Take a tour through my DIY camper van while I am on an 8,000 mile road trip to visit all 8 Alaska National Parks! If you have any questions, drop me a comment and I will answer. 👍
There are a few other videos on my channel which cover the van -
• Van Tour - 5G+Starlink... - Van Tour 1.0 - my 1st YT vid!
• Best Mobile Internet S... - Internet Setup - Has changed a little since then but this covers most of it.
I will be posting more videos of my trip as I go and when I get back, but in the mean time if you want to see more about my Alaska road trip check out my Facebook for pix and video - / kufrin
Thanks for checking out my video. - Jak na to + styl
Any questions? What do you like or hate about the van? Could you see yourself living out of this for several months or full time?
you definitely made the best van for traveling and being prepared!!
I think so too! Remember when I brought it home? Or before that when I said I wanted to get a van and travel around to all the national parks! Follow your dream!
Love the van! We definitely have to meet up and camp sometime soon!
Thanks Sam! I would like that! I will be busy with this trip and then wisconsin n back after, but I am open October and beyond! 🤩 🚐 🏞️
Why do you have two Starlink dishes? Are both of them active?
I got the gen 2 in august 2022 before my CA to Maine and back roadie. It was worked well so far. Knowing that I would need to rely on Starlink more heavily on this trip and my worry that might not perform or stop working during some critical juncture lead me to get the gen 3 and get it mounted up there within the weeks leading up to this trip. I have a roadie to Wisconsin after this trip which I will keep both active for, but after that I will be pausing the service on the gen 2 - while leaving it in place for future use and the ability to reactivate service. It is definitely expensive to keep both active every month in perpetuity. My wife and I also talk about moving into the van fulltime and if we did that I'd probably just keep both active all the time. My bandwidth needs are HIGH! :D
I dont keep them both powered on all the time - because in areas with cellular my setup usually is fast enough and consumes way less power. The gen 3 does perform better with slightly more field of view and more power it gets better upload speed.
Driving through Canada there were some places where the single gen 2 starlink would be "flaky" (because of satellites moving or whatever) so I turn on the gen 3 and the router bonds those together to keep my zoom sessions from dropping. And other times where I am doing large 19GB uploads I turn both on. It all depends on the location and situation of what I am doing at the moment.
Thanks for the question and for watching! 🙏
When filming yourself, are you using the Insta360 with tracking turned on and mounted to a tripod so it follows you?
For this I was using a DJI Osmo Pocket 3 mounted on a full size tripod. The Osmo Pocket has a 1" PTZ lens and a face tracking feature. It works great! The picture quality is better than what my phone gets and it automatically pairs with the wireless mic I was wearing. I would love to take that into the backcountry but it seems a little fragile. When I go to Lake Clark + Katmai I am gonna for sure bring the Insta360 Flow smartphone stablizer so I can get good video of the bears at Brooks Camp! 🐻 😃
Man, you really have ALL the tech toys. I’d be lost with all that gadgetry! Lol. It really is amazing that you’re able to juggle the demands of traveling & backpacking all while working and still managing to put out quality content.
Thanks!!
