In this episode, we take an in-depth look at SpaceX's Starlink - specifically, how it can be setup and used for overlanding in Africa and the rest of the world. We also make use of Star Mount Systems to flat mount the dish to our Ford Ranger and convert it to 12v, making use of Boondocker's Dishy Dualie DC Power Supply.
