Short video of my 3 month solo exploration to stake new land for another log cabin build. Such a fun trip. Sub-zero for weeks. 馃ザ鉂勶笍

Camera operator put the Skydio2 in a horrible position to capture how steep that climb off the river was. All I could see out the windshield was blue sky 馃槅

Are we still allowed to post links to, and/or mention, Starlink competitors? Do I need to post a public disavowal for previous work with HughesNet to stay on the platform?
I'm not even on the tiny mammoth social network!
"Why don't you just get Starlink?" they said
Living on an E to W flowing river, there's a nearly unobstructed view of 180掳 of southern sky here. If I can't get signal, other people are going to have a lot harder time.

What's the process for getting YouTubers to change their "world's smallest interchangeable lens camera" titles? The smallest (and dirtiest) lens I have totally hides this one 馃く
I screwed up my Black Friday order, and @West3DPrinting still fixed it and got it delivered to Alaska in like 2 biz days!
Now please excuse me while I go play with my @dropeffect + @phaetus3D toys

Apple is not currently contributing to the $500k/mo tier of my Patreon - in blatant violation of my free speech.
Unedited flyover of "cabinlab hill" (working title). Bureaucracy took so long that the burned area I'd slated for the garden is filled in with birch saplings taller than me!
The kids grow up so fast, amirite? 馃ぃ

During summer, I love CNC aluminum things, and get seduced by camera gear crafted then anodized in black.
Then around November I remember I live 2掳 below the Arctic Circle, and it all becomes a giant heat sink, which results in all my batteries freezing in 30 seconds.
Fingerprint sensors are real judgy about logging and woodworking. Yeah Android, I cut that finger too. Now STFU and let me in so I can doomscroll socials while my whorls, loops and arches heal.

This painting was gifted to my great-grandparents by neighbors after building a cabin in Brush Village, Alaska. It hung in my parents' house most of my childhood.
Who'd have guessed I'd end up building a log cabin in Alaska. I hate being so predictable! 馃槅

My #homeassistant stats say these 2 solar charge controllers have "generated" only $244 of energy. So my DIY power company isn't quite ready to go public.
Way cheaper that the $37.9 million it would cost to run a power line or the $7.1 million of generator gas!
