Just a random Southern Missouri creek. Banks collapsing, the US Dollar in decline, the world getting more ridiculous, woke, and nonsensical, and this creek flows on unperturbed along its stony course. Old, gnarled oak and sycamore trees continue to cast their shade on the water as it gradually delves into the bedrock of the bluff that marks the stream's edge seeking its path ever downwards. Actions of the government, fluctuations of the economy, or machinations of the elite have little effect on the slow steady flow of this random Southern Missouri creek. Build your life in a place like this creek. #grownostr #getoutside #nature

Had 40 minutes spare between appointments this morning. Just enough time for a short ruck along the lake. Here's the view from Stockton Dam. Don't forget to make some time to go outside. #grownostr #getoutside #edcstr #lake #backpack

Being prepared is a way of life for me. Depending on the day, I could be in the shop, in the woods, on the farm, at a job site, or on the road to or from any of these places. Of course, I have several different sets of tools and equipment that I bring along for specific tasks, but this pack goes with me everywhere. The pack is made by Frost River. It's a handy size and durable, and waxed canvas, leather, and brass just has more cool factor than nylon. Shown in the picture are the tools I keep inside: Gransfors Bruk hatchet, Silky saw, and a prying/digging tool I made. #grownostr #edcstr #axe #backpack #beprepared

We have a little rain in the forecast, and I'm hoping we get some. The only mushrooms I've found this year have been old and dried out, hardly worth harvesting. Until then, here's some morels I found last year. With some bonus Swiss Army Knife content. #grownostr #mushrooms #foodsovereignty #naturevibes #edcstr #swissarmyknife

Our egg station is getting a bit backed up. Need to sell some more eggs or do some water glassing. #grownostr #eggs #chickens #foodsovereignty

A bit of late frost on the Ozarks this morning. #grownostr
