Finally made my first vist to the Self Reliance Festival in Camden, Tn at SOE Tactical headquarters. I am beyond words, what an overwhelmingly awesome and exciting experience, thank you to all that stopped by to chat and especially thank you to all of the people that make this event possible. I just can't say enough, what a bunch of great people to meet and learn from! #srf2023 #srf #selfreliancefestival #soetactical #homesteaders #homesteader #prepper #Tennessee #middleTN #tsp #gsd #grownostr #soe

GM Nostr. Go kick some ass today #grownostr

Nostr, help...what the hell is going on here with some of my cucumber plants? I'm afraid whatever it is, probably too late to do anything about it... #grownostr #tsp #gardening

This is what the simple task of changing out a faulty thermostat and temperature sensor looks like in a modern vehicle. A bit excessive in my opinion, they really enjoy burying things under the manifold. Also note how gross the intake valves look at only 50k miles in a direct injection style engine... #grownostr #gsd #tsp #carstr #toolstr

DRINKING THAT KOOL AID #grownostr

It doesn't remain forever but the smells are very satisfying, working with some freshly reclaimed oak from whiskey barrels #grownostr #woodworking #tools #buildsomething

Very excited about this...just popped out a few days ago from direct sow. Trying out a bunch of new stuff for this season but for whatever reason only had about a 25% germination rate. Then due work and then extreme heat, we did not complete planting the garden until just about two weeks ago. I did however finally install an automated irrigation system, not without slicing my internet first, lol. So hopefully we can still recover and have a good season despite some setbacks. Follow me for more tips on how not to do shit. #grownostr #tsp #gsd #garden

Emily managed to sharpen one end of her fav antler down to a thin sharp point and i was concerned she would eventually knock it off and be hacking it up in the middle of the night, kinda like the dog under the dinner table in Christmas Vacation..little bit of trimming and good to go #grownostr #dogstr #tools #toolstr

Good evening Nostr frens, hope today was great. Spotted this little critter hiding out today #grownostr
