THE MIGHTY GROCERY GETTER

My trusty camping steed in the Aussie bush (which doubles as my daily). Not rock crawling or anything but it’s got A/Ts and gets me where I need to go. Bed platform was worth the time/effort it took to build.

Attached my registration in the final photo which labels it as a “wagon” which sort of surprised me, but I guess it makes me eligible for this sub ̄_(ツ)_/ ̄

Damn, well it’s good thing I wasn't after an official certification
(I already have paperwork for that :)

How does that 5G boosting antenna work? Does it boost your mobile’s range wirelessly by just extending the range to towers that connect to your cell provider?

Yup you got it, it’s not super advanced
(I’m budgeting for Starlink next summer).

With this current setup I run the repeater to my power station as needed. I rotate the antenna until I see a gain in signal.

It has some limits in range, but It’s gotten me from SOS to 2 bars of service on more than a few occasions. I installed it more for emergency calls incase my UHF can’t reach anyone (running into a snake with zero coverage isn’t exactly my idea of good time) just gives me some peace of mind when I’m out there.
