Shortly after moving into the cabin in February 2023 we soon realized there was no reliable source of internet access. As you can imagine that little tidbit of information was quite disappointing. When we were in Kentucky living in a camper we had an AT&T hotspot with FirstNet and it worked pretty well. We had speeds up to 100 Mbps and unlimited streaming.
Fast forward to February 23′ and moving into the cabin we barely had one bar on the hotspot as well as our phones. Once in a while if all the stars aligned just right a 2nd bar would show up. Streaming TV and Internet was inconsistent at best. I quickly looked to see if Starlink was available. It wasn’t, however, I requested it through the Starlink website. Within about 3 weeks I received notice it was available. I ordered it and a couple of weeks later it arrived.
I provide more information in the video below:

Welcome to A Survival Story. What follows is a fictional daily journal written by "Jed". Jed is a 39-year-old man who lives in the small city of Rock Hill, South Carolina. Jed recently started thinking about his life and the mistakes he has made. He has decided to start keeping a journal to organize his thoughts and try to understand not only where he has been but where his life is going. Jed begins this journal at a time in his life when he is considering whether he will ever meet "the one" and has just scheduled a trip to attend his 20-year high school reunion.
Jed is relatively physically fit as he has been working out with weights, takes martial arts, and rides his mountain bike periodically on some light trails. He would like to lose about 15-20 pounds but is not overly concerned about it. Jed is 5' 10" tall and 205 pounds with very short brown hair. Both his parents have passed and his younger brother Eric moved in with him a couple months ago. Jed has always felt the need to care for his brother since his parents are no longer around. He has been an active survivalist for the last several years - especially since 9/11. He has stocked up on a lot of supplies with an emphasis on the basics of "beans, bullets, and band-aids". The few people that know of Jed's concern for the future dismiss his "prepping" as a hobby and a fad. Jed takes it seriously, however, he is not fanatical about it and enjoys many of life's comforts like anyone else. Jed recently purchased a 2011 black Jeep Wrangler 4-door - a rare splurge for himself.
See how Jed and his community deal with multiple attacks across the United States. Here we begin....... a survival story.
