00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.720
<v Speaker 1>All right, I'm here with Austin from Commsdepot, right, yes,

2
00:00:03.879 --> 00:00:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Commsdepot dot com. And I saw the off grid weather

3
00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:10.279
<v Speaker 1>and that that got me kind of interested in that too,

4
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:11.480
<v Speaker 1>So Austin.

5
00:00:11.199 --> 00:00:13.679
<v Speaker 2>Tell us about what you've got here today. Absolutely, So

6
00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:16.600
<v Speaker 2>this whole thing started out with off grid weather.

7
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:17.280
<v Speaker 3>Okay.

8
00:00:17.960 --> 00:00:21.640
<v Speaker 2>I basically created a field reference guide which has a

9
00:00:21.719 --> 00:00:26.559
<v Speaker 2>ton of data for those who go dopoda soda camping.

10
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:29.120
<v Speaker 2>It's originally how I why I designed it because I

11
00:00:29.160 --> 00:00:31.719
<v Speaker 2>go camping all the time, and I found that when

12
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:33.359
<v Speaker 2>I was out there and I didn't have cel phone service,

13
00:00:33.359 --> 00:00:35.560
<v Speaker 2>I needed access to a bunch of reference material. So

14
00:00:35.560 --> 00:00:37.320
<v Speaker 2>originally built this for myself and it kind of took

15
00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:40.039
<v Speaker 2>off from there. So this we've been expanding. We've been

16
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:42.880
<v Speaker 2>starting to create additional modules that you can get, so

17
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:47.200
<v Speaker 2>things like repeater listings for your states. Okay, equipment manuals,

18
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:49.799
<v Speaker 2>so like the eight fifty seven for example, the manual

19
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 2>for that is like one hundred and twenty pages. You've

20
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:54.240
<v Speaker 2>been able to condense that down to about about sixteen pages.

21
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.479
<v Speaker 2>Same form factor goes inside this tiny little binder really

22
00:00:57.840 --> 00:00:59.280
<v Speaker 2>and then you can just take that into the field

23
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.600
<v Speaker 2>going camping hiking, coota soda, things like that. You can

24
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:06.840
<v Speaker 2>have all that reference material available offline. So that's how

25
00:01:06.879 --> 00:01:09.799
<v Speaker 2>this whole thing started. And then we transitioned over to

26
00:01:09.920 --> 00:01:12.519
<v Speaker 2>Comm's Depot, which is a brand new platform. As a

27
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 2>small business owner, I found that a lot of platforms

28
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.840
<v Speaker 2>like ets eBay, Amazon, they were very expensive. Yeah, the

29
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:22.159
<v Speaker 2>customer service is not great. There's a lot of return

30
00:01:22.239 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>fraud and things like that happening. So Comm's Depot was

31
00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:26.760
<v Speaker 2>my attempt at a solution to that. So Comm's Depot

32
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:30.319
<v Speaker 2>is essentially a marketplace for small businesses. So we have

33
00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:35.040
<v Speaker 2>for example, Tim Orts n nine sab all of his

34
00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 2>intendors are on the website. Now he makes these in

35
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.000
<v Speaker 2>the US, fantastic quality. You can buy them right on

36
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:44.319
<v Speaker 2>the website. And so the idea with Comm's Depot is

37
00:01:44.319 --> 00:01:47.640
<v Speaker 2>basically to provide small businesses and tinkerers and people who

38
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.959
<v Speaker 2>just have a niche product that they want to sell

39
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:54.200
<v Speaker 2>a good platform that's affordable, user friendly, and easily accessible

40
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:57.159
<v Speaker 2>to sell their products. So that's kind of the whole

41
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:00.680
<v Speaker 2>idea behind Comm's Depot. We have ten different vendors to

42
00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:02.640
<v Speaker 2>ten different sellers on the platform right now, okay, and

43
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:03.599
<v Speaker 2>we're constantly growing.

44
00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:06.040
<v Speaker 3>I recognize the Mad Gear company.

45
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:06.879
<v Speaker 2>I know those guys.

46
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:07.159
<v Speaker 3>Yep.

47
00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:08.639
<v Speaker 2>Sam is a good friend of mine.

48
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:09.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, okay, so he.

49
00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.719
<v Speaker 2>Sells on the platforms JACOBT grid Base. He's a good dude, yep.

50
00:02:12.800 --> 00:02:15.680
<v Speaker 3>So cool man. Yeah that's great. I have not heard
