I'm sure dave will be along soon with an update, but I know they are still getting a lot of wildlife at their place.

The upper portion has held up well. The water trough and 600lb ASF feeder washed away during a flood last year. I have shutoff the valve so the 2 x 200g tanks are full. At some point I need to put a new trough and feeder out there.

I've been busy with a solar project out there, so that has filled my time. We now have 300ah of battery storage and running Starlink completely off-grid.

Damn, sorry about the feeder and trough but that solar/satellite setup looks badass!

OP, very nice job!! Great pics! Did your metal catchment suffer any damage from the storms?

The catchment is higher above the wet weather creek and was fine. We rarely get that kind of storm. A neighbor said a 14' wall of water came rushing down the creek.

The weather station recently recorded a 74mph gust during a storm right after I installed Starlink. There was a bit of a pucker factor but signal came backayne 20 minutes after the storm.
