being “off the cord”. You still need to charge that little dewalt at some point.

But I’m not laying cables, not picking them up, not cleaning them off, not allowing them to dry, not buying and handling suitcases and “cord handlers” then repeat!

We charge our starter and house batteries daily, Same for your phone and laptop batteries. Install the battery charger somewhere convenient, we have ours in the Attic.

I ask Chris to swap batteries, one minute later she’s done and the backup is back on the charger. Usually, whoever takes Charley out for a morning outing will change the battery. If I asked her to go outside, good weather or bad, and wind up that friggin’ cord, I would get a look and then have to do it myself.

Use the technology, or not, yes it’s your choice! The cable that came with our Mini is still in the box!

Do you choose to make a call, with your cell phone only when connected by cord to power? 🤣

I'm trying to get you guys OFF the cord and your buying accessories and even suitcases to carry your Mini and more cases to carry extra cords, and extra-loooong cords, more and more cords! Why?

I have long cords, short cords and some in between; charging accessories and adapters if need be; suction cups and magnets for pole and rooftop mounts, or anywhere the satellites can see; all nicely packed away in an emergency communications bug-out-bag near me!

“One is none and two is one.” Like minded here Ron. My past years of military training and deployments have always kept me thinking contingencies. Better to have it and never need it than need it and not have it. As we use to say prepping for deployments, you don’t want to be left flapping. 

That is what’s great about the compact Mini, well done, nice pack and kit! 👍🏻

I’ve been plugging the power cord into the outside trailer outlet when on shore power and into a Jackery when not.  I just coil the power cable so that it fits in the cut out in my case.  The Ethernet cable for the mini router sits in there, too.

The dish sits on top.

 

The case was from Amazon, not expensive but got great reviews and has worked well.  Cut outs for the mini, mount, power plug, mini router and cables.

Our Mini got to go on its first trip. We recently went to Maine on a short 10 day trip. As many have said, it was a game changer. So easy to setup and use.
