Thank you and you yourself have some pretty nice pictures as well. Looks like a very nice quite living. I glanced through at the pictures of the chickens and the "tiger" ^ ^. I did not completely understand what kind of knife you said that it was but you created a knife to carve out handles for your hammers? Very nice! I am used to a city life (born and raised) but have spent about 5-6 years living in the mountains of southern Virginia and there is a certain calm that I miss from the quiet lifestyle. Thank you once again for your comment on my photos and you take care!

Thank You, it was a Xiro Explorer V (a.k.a DJI Mavic Killer). It has some limitations to it but I created a "Cantenna" which can extend the wifi range up to almost 4miles in clear (not alot of radio) areas that works even better in high places or when aimed at the sky. It was a bootlegged project that I created with spare USB repeaters and an old Direct TV sat Dish but the performance you recieve from it on extending range is top notch and it only requires 5volts of power to function (USB 3.0 from a laptop will suffice) See Pictures Below

direct tv cantenna.jpg (Yes it is mounted to a chair lol) but the can apparatus worked pefectly when angled in the corner of the bed of my truck and aimed towards the sky. (Anykind of reflective metal to send the entire signal in a specific direction will work and it spreads out in a cone shape). The drone has a height limitation of 600ft that can be overridden (careful... this is illegal) by reaching your maximum height then holding throttle up/acend while pressing "Retun to home" key and you can reach a maximum height of about 1600 feet when needed to get over a mountain ^ ^. (The override works because when you press return to home the drone is allowed to do anything necessary to bring it home and no failsafes built into the software are in effect but it also accepts commands from its remote during this so you get to temporarily turn the 600 ft height limit off while telling it to go up higher.. once you are above 600ft just switch off return to home and soar free as a bird ^ ^)
