I never thought of it from that side of the coin Paul, very cool. Enjoy your stinky and your travels mate👍😎

I agree, we are certainly sitting on a potential disrupter to the satellite phone, but I don’t think it is quite there yet. What I mean by that is in an emergency situation, my satellite phone is my go to option. Turn it on, hit three buttons and your connected to emergency services. It takes a lot longer to set up Starlink, and if your emergency is your car burnt down in the middle of nowhere from spinifex seeds around your exhaust, Starlink goes up with the car. My satellite phone is in my bug out bag, which I grab first off when I exit the vehicle in an emergency. Re the space pollution, I wonder if Musk had to agree to ditch and burn the satellites into the atmosphere should they reach the end of their service life. I don’t know anything about the subject, but it seems a sensible option to allow the use of space should any one body govern it🧐. Thanks for watching mate👍😎

@@JafffaAdventures I agree. For emergencies, the sat-phone is definitely still the best device to use - particularly if you lose the vehicle. But more than likely it (sat-phone) will be relegated more to the "grab bag", along with the PLB and other emergency items, and less for day-to-day use as comms. For that the Starlink system is so much better. Fingers crossed with economies of scale, the monthly charge will get cheaper.

Yep, we’re on the same page mate👍😎

Cheers Barry, that’s very kind of you to say mate. 👍😎

No worries at all Doug. Going well, I’m responding to your comment from Moreton island using Starlink 👍😎

I should add, if I ever bump into you guys while on the road, I will sure to say g'day. Not for the merch, but to say hello to you and Jill. All the best on your upcoming road trip.👌

Thank you mate, giving away free merchandise is the least I can do for good people that follow my channel. I probably should have made it clear that I am not ditching my satellite phone, that is still my go to emergency device. Easy to access, no set up, just hit three numbers and the call button and you are away. Cheers👍😎

Definitely say hi, it would be awesome to hear about your adventures and travels as well. Cheers👍😎

Thanks Phillip, I appreciate the kind words, and no I was not wondering 😉👍😎

Thanks for the reference Bob, I’ll check it out but definitely will not be mounting it permanently. Our travels take us through far too tight of tracks…many of which we don’t even fit now😉👍😎

Very cool Shane, it would be awesome to bump into you and of course a shirt would be in the cards for you😉. Cheers👍😎

You beat me to it, this is the link to that video Everlanders YT. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nbiDobd-17u0ooU.html

Definitely don’t want to permanently mount it on my application with the tight tracks I drive through, but might suit a more moderate application. Thanks for sharing👍😎

Thanks John, I’m glad to have you along with us. Cheers👍😎

Thanks mate, I sincerely appreciate the kind words. Interestingly enough, my FB feed just came up with one of those flashbacks, and it was 12 months to the very day that we crossed paths at Orchid Beach on Fraser. What are the chances of that mate👍😎

@@JafffaAdventures Wow! How time flies when you're having fun! I look forward to hopefully crossing paths again.

Me too mate, we’ll spend some quality time having a beer👍😎

Thanks Rod, I’m humbled by your comments. Unfortunately the timing is not going to work this trip, but plenty more planned for the future. Have an amazing event mate👍😎

@@JafffaAdventures you watched Rick Beato? 😁😁

Heck ya, love the guys channel and his style👍😎

Thanks Brent, I have started a “how to fit shit in” video but I don’t know when I’ll finish it. Hitting the road shortly, thanks for following along 👍😎

No worries mate, going well and no dramas so far.👍😎

I’m on Moreton island ATM using it and it is bloody awesome. It’s only the space and weight that were the big considerations for me👍😎

That’s awesome feedback mate, thanks for sharing👍😎

Thanks Grant, that’s very kind of you to share mate. Cheers👍😎

Too funny Daniel😂👍😎

No worries mate, who knows one day I may even make it over to the Middle East…and I’ll bring t-shirts👍😎

@@JafffaAdventures that's so nice of you

Go well mate👍😎

Thanks Ray, I appreciate the kind words. A\C in the shed, hmmm….😂👍😎

Craig, I have been on the road for over a month now and used it pretty much every day. It is friggin awesome mate. The only time signal is dodgy is when there is an obstruction, like under a tree. Give Dishy a clear line of sign and she flys. It’s a game changer mate. Enjoy the read centre mate, awesome place😎👍

You know it mate😉👍😎

Cheers mate👍😎

Thanks Craig, I’m over on Moreton island ATM responding to your message via Starlink 👍😎

It would be awesome to see you in WA mate. I agree with all your Starlink comments and I’m sure future iterations of the product will improve it along the lines you mention. Cheers👍😎

Thank you mate, I’m glad that you found enough value to comment mate. Cheers👍😎

Thanks mate. No the FJ45 is still coming along and videos on the subject will come out when I get to it, but I enjoy the variety of life far too much to just create content on one subject matter. If you are here for the FJ build specifically, maybe this is not the channel for you. Go well mate, cheers👍😎

It was lightning fast Mike. I ordered it on a Monday, we got it on Thursday of the same week. Sorry, I should have put that information in the video. Cheers👍😎

Sorry mate, this trip will start in Adelaide and head west from there. Victoria is still in the cards for a future lap as it’s uncharted for us currently 😉👍😎

Thanks for the kind words Andrew, I sincerely appreciate it. In my opinion Starlink will not and cannot take the place of a Sat phone and/or EPIRB for remote travel. Starlink is tethered to your vehicle, and powered from your vehicle. There are two very real scenarios where you could find yourself in big big trouble if you relied on Starlink for an emergency. One, a vehicle fire say on a remote track like the CRS. Your car burns to the ground, your left standing with the shirt on your back and your only means of comms is a melted pile of goo. Two, you’re travelling along a remote beach below the high tide line. You get bogged, the tide comes in and swamps your vehicle. Your left standing with the shirt on your back and your only means of powering your emergency comms device is under a metre of water. For our style of travel and in those two scenarios, the Sat phone is our first go to device in an emergency. Should that not work (flat battery, the emergency is in an area where you cannot get clear line of sight of the satellite etc.), I would active the EPIRB. For overlanders that travel in a group or never leave the bitumen, Starlink might suit just fine on its own. I have an entire video dedicated to this very subject that will be released on March 8th. Cheers👍😎

@@JafffaAdventures Thanks Terry, that backs up and consolidates the realities of the various situations. I look forward to your video on the subject, which I will pass to the other members of the club, many of whom think even carrying a satphone is over-kill. I treat your advice with a great deal of respect, because it just makes good common sense and cuts straight to the point without all the BS. Thanks again sir. 👍 avagreatday.

Having a great day wrenching on the 200. Thanks again for your kind words mate, that very much means a lot to me. As you know, I don’t have a dog in the fight either way, I’m simply relaying what works for us for a risk mitigation strategy. For those in your company that think even a Sat phone is overkill, it may indeed be in their personal circumstance. Go well my friend👍😎

don't forget you can get a SIP number and wifi calling for your phone .. if u want the call feature if it's it just a data call ! 💻📡

haha i cant believe u got the same SSID stinky as what Danni Simpson did.. surely u can change that ?

I’m not sure, but I kinda like stinky now👍😎

Yes indeed😎

​@@brentmcd12 They are all stinky from factory.
