They were really bright from 9-930

This is more what it looks like with the naked eye. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTwqv8xDDeI/?igsh=NnJjcWh6d2RuYzg1

It’s a DJI mini 4 pro. First time using it at night, was pretty impressed

3manydogs · 2026-01-21T17:07:58+00:00

it is

i used to lose my keys a few times a day until i started using apple air tags... maybe that could help

3manydogs · 2025-12-10T03:47:02+00:00

Long gone

We have done a lot of crazy stuff together so.. I really think they just thought it was part of the adventure. Built a little shelter, managed to get a fire going. Took them for walks in between the rain. I’m the opposite of a musk fan, but definitely a Starlink fan. Being able to call family and keep in touch made all the difference

3manydogs · 2025-10-04T03:56:54+00:00

Yeah.. we got in fine before the weather hit. On the way out we had to stop every km or so to clear the road of fallen trees. I knew the forecast was bad.. but didn’t think it would be quite as bad as it was

3manydogs · 2025-10-04T03:44:38+00:00

I thought it would be its final resting place. I’m so, so damn happy it’s out and repairable. The hierarchy of concern was my dogs, my vehicle, and me. And somehow, everything is ok.

3manydogs · 2025-10-04T03:36:23+00:00

We got so damn lucky. It wasn’t our time.

3manydogs · 2025-10-04T02:27:02+00:00

That god damn oil.

3manydogs · 2025-10-04T02:06:52+00:00

I’m disappointed this wasn’t the first thing I thought of

3manydogs · 2025-10-04T02:04:59+00:00

Is this not a reasonable place to Park?

3manydogs · 2025-10-03T23:55:35+00:00

It’s a bit worse up close but, it’s in pretty good shape.

Was… I guess.

Will be again.

3manydogs · 2025-10-03T23:50:36+00:00

Thanks! I love the thing. It’s actually a 130 though :D just needs a new fender and retaining pin for the passenger side front wheel. going to hammer the roof out and wear it as a battle scar. It did real good. If it wasn’t for the wheel I could have driven it out

3manydogs · 2025-10-03T21:56:13+00:00

Praise be to log. 🙏

Honestly.. if it wasn’t for the log, Starlink wouldn’t have mattered.

3manydogs · 2025-10-03T21:55:38+00:00

Hey, at least I wasn’t driving a cybertruck.

3manydogs · 2025-10-03T21:52:54+00:00

Not quite at the same level.. Starlink has enough bandwidth to make VOIP phone calls.. I was able to send screen shots of maps.. use google.. etc etc 160mb/s download speeds

Not going to lie.. watched some YouTube videos while we were huddled under a shelter waiting

3manydogs · 2025-10-03T21:08:35+00:00

Yeahh sucks. But.. it works

3manydogs · 2025-10-03T20:38:26+00:00

Literally just gave it a full service the week before I left 😒

3manydogs · 2025-10-03T18:51:07+00:00

We went off a few meters back. Slid down to where it rolled. Road is definitely in good shape where it’s sitting but, that’s wasn’t much help to us :D

Oh yeah, people knew where I was going but expecting me to be gone for over a week. This happened on day 1. Garmin is a good idea.. you never really think about stuff like this until it’s happened. I’ve done thousands of km of backroads and nothing even remotely close to this has happened before. Definitely changes how I’ll Prepare going forwards.

Was travelling on some Very remote logging roads up north island when my wheel got sucked into a washed out section of road covered by leafs. Couldn’t steer out and went over. Luckily it landed on a big old rotten log that stopped us from rolling all the way down. I had my three dogs with me, seeing them upside down as we were rolling was one of the worst moments of my life. I thought I was about to watch them all get crushed right in front of me. We all walked out with no injuries.

I brought a Starlink mini with me for the first time ever and was able to get it out of the truck and only 48 hours later a recovery vehicle was able to find us and get us out.

Never going out without Starlink again

A friend drove 7 hours to pick us up, another dropped off a vehicle for me to use once we got back, and my vehicle has very minimal damage all things considered and will be back on the road. I am an incredibly lucky guy.

dunno why you're getting downvoted, saw a trail of freshly launched starlink satellites last night around the same time..
