    I do this already. I have the older version of the Drive Sleek by WeBoost. I have a small black tool box with a 12volt feeder battery (mounted in it) with a cigarette lighter female connection coming off of it. I keep my antenna, cradle and power wire (w/ cigarette lighter male plug) in the box as well. Light quick and easily carry-able. I use it in my blinds that don't have good signal and especially in my portable turkey bow blinds that we put all over the place during turkey season. Quick to set up and take down. Works like a champ. I also put it in my truck to use to check my Covert cameras with booster antennas at bad cell signal areas for my phone ...like when I have to reset or upload firmware and restart them.

    I need to see if its here at the house or still at my lease cabin and I can take some pictures..
    I think pics would help confirm what I have in my mind.
    To the others, no, ATT is my work phone is and my only phone. The cameras are also set up with ATT cards from when I was on a place where ATT worked well.
    When in the stand on a "day off" it helps to stay connected with work to knock down problems before they start, but obviously being left alone with nature is ideal.
    I do get some signal at the cameras with the 10ft tall pole with antenna on top, so I would think I would get something on my phone higher in the stands with a WeBoost.

    Thanks for the input!

      Is there cell phone signal just not ATT? On my lease Verizon works everywhere but AT&T does not. Of course my work phone was ATT. I got a Verizon Hotspot and ran email and text off wifi from hotspot.

        the old SIM card stuff is good enough,
        I am spending some money on a new garmin inreach to be able to communicate with a satellite communications service
        I have one for sell in the classifieds if you are interested.

          Junxman…. Here is my portable battery box. I have the battery strapped in with double sided Velcro that way I have no issues with it moving around in the box in transit and gives me definite areas to put my antenna and cradle in the box. I also picked the hard box for the same reason. Have a buddy with it in a soft case and it’s a cluster. I prob have $10 in the box. Actual box is from Walmart or Stanley has it with their name on it too.

            Thanks for posting!! This looks super easy. I bet I could even double up the batteries in parallel if I felt I needed longer times between recharges. This is great. I'm on it!!

              You’re welcome! I get about 5 hunts in a single charge …usually charge after 4 just in case. Need to make sure you have room for your cradle and antenna if you want to make it all one unit … or get a bigger box for two battery system.
