Some people go shopping on black Friday. We go coon hunting. We've got some friends that keep coon dogs and, at least once a year, we invite them to hunt in our woods. The dogs treed this big boar coon right away. We then treed two sets of doubles and ended the night with 5 coons in the truck. #huntstr #grownostr #getoutside

I passed up a buck on opening day, and then had several days without having a shot at anything. Then this guy walked through this morning. 8 point, taken with a Marlin 30-30 #huntstr #grownostr #gunstr #getoutside

Fiat mining activities for this week: Wastewater system install 1000 gallon septic tank, 1000 gallon pump tank, flowing out to 400 feet of low-profile chambers Completed the job before the rain arrived, passed county inspection, and the homeowner was thoroughly impressed with our skill and efficiency. Now I'm going to give myself a day off to go deer hunting. #proofofwork #skilledtrades #grownostr #soil

I bought the dip, and I just shot the possum that's been eating my eggs for last two and a half weeks. Today was a good day.

Backcountry trips are better with reliable gear. Here's some of the stuff I used on the mountain. Homemade leather haversack Ka-Bar Becker BK-10 Sleep set up: Klymit insulated pad, Warbonnet custom down 20° top-quilt Homemade bamboo trekking poles Titanium cup, alcohol stove Carried it all on my heavily modified Eberlestock pack frame #getoutside #grownostr #huntstr #knifestr

Just returned from a week in the mountains, hunting and camping. walked several miles with a thirty pound pack, cooked over fire, and slept in a canvas tent. No internet, only used my phone to look at maps and send lora messages. Have I missed anything while I was away? #huntstr #grownostr #getoutside

Preparation for my backcountry hunting trip has begun. Comms and navigation Garmin inReach for GPS and satellite messaging. Meshtastic devices for each member of the hunting group for short range messaging and backup GPS. Also put together a solar relay we can stash at a high elevation. #grownostr #huntstr #meshtastic #getoutside

Since today is September 22nd, I have decided to pop the tin of Capstan Blue I purchased back in May. This is a pressed Virginia blend and was the preferred tobacco of Professor Tolkien. Classic pure Virginia flavor, grassy with some natural sweetness, great for blowing smoke rings while wishing to see mountains, explore caves, and to wear a sword instead of a walking stick. #pipestr #tolkien #grownostr

Good morning, Nostr Starting off the week by getting a tire patched. I highly recommend having one of these battery powered tire inflators. #grownostr #selfreliance

Got home yesterday from a two-week work trip. I had lots of things I could have done on the farm after being away, but the boy requested we go fishing. So instead, we got the poles, went down to the pond, flipped over a log to find some grubs, and fished. No complaints. #grownostr #getoutside #dadstr

This was an old one-room schoolhouse in Polk County Missouri #ruralruins #grownostr

We're working on a big timber frame truss and siding job. We did not mill or cut the parts on these, but were hired to assemble and stain them at the build site. #proofofwork #grownostr #woodwork

Today's carry. Stay prepared. Stay vigilant. I often omit the firearm in my edc posts, so as not to continually doxx my gun, but the fact is, I'm always armed. This week, I'm running five rounds of .357 Magnum #grownostr #gunstr #edc #knifestr

I'm concerned by the events of this week. Righteous anger and justice is warranted, but let it not turn into retaliatory hatred or violence. To know where the line between these lies, there is wisdom.

Upgraded my pipe tobacco shelf. It's made to fit 20 half-pint, wide-mouth jars. Sourced the wood from a dismantled pallet Lego Gandalf approves. #pipestr #grownostr #makeyourownshit
