Rainy Saturday morning project. Made a bamboo trekking pole. Materials: stick of bamboo, mule tape, copper pipe caps, bank line, clear epoxy Weight is a bit over 9 ounces (I made a pair a couple years ago, but I had a better piece of bamboo, so I'm replacing the smaller diameter one of the old pair. The dirty one pictured has been used on two backcountry hunts and performed excellent ly.) #grownostr #outdoorgear #proofofwork

Good morning. Moved the cows to the next pasture and ready to start the rest of my Saturday projects. #grownostr #farmstr #beef #proofofwork

Ordered an alcohol stove for my hunting trip. Came with a folding steel windscreen/pot stand. It was just an inexpensive model from Amazon, so I wasn't expecting anything spectacular. But I ended up being fairly impressed after testing it out. Boiled a can of soup in about seven minutes. Worked well enough that I grabbed the small cast iron, pulled an onion from the garden, gathered the eggs, and cooked a bit of dinner. #grownostr #getoutside #outdoorgear
