I only use it on our yearly backcountry hunting trip. Then it's good for sending messages back home when we have no phone service. This past year, we brought Meshtastic radios and they work great for comms while hunting as long as we're all on the same side of the mountain. If there's a ridge between us, they're useless, and we fall back to using the Garmins.
I'm a knife guy, so favorite gear is whatever knife I'm running.

I need to do an updated list of my carry gear. Until then, here's the setup I had a couple years ago with a different bag. There's been some changes since then, but a lot of things are still the same.

Here's one of my favorites. The Becker/Ka-Bar version of the Kephart.
https://i.nostr.build/nSDnkmVtBhrbcVVa.jpg
Amazing story behind this knife. Horace Kephart, outdoor writer, came up with this design over a hundred years ago. A handful were made at the time. Drawings of it, of course, were published in his book, and knife makers have been making "Kephart" knives for decades.
But none of them got it right, because the subtleties of the blade shape didn't translate through a simple drawing. Then the only known original knife in private ownership came up for sale, was purchased by Ethan Becker, and he immediately noticed the nuances of the design (convex profile, tapered tang, etc). And he chose to share it with the world by allowing Ka-Bar to manufacture a production version based on the historic original.

It is my firm belief that every man needs a big rock in the woods upon which to sit and contemplate while watching the sun set or the creek flow, perhaps with a pipe and some good tobacco, and that a large part of what is wrong with the world is because so many men forgot this fact, or never learned it in the first place.

Today, we're going to learn about one of my favorite obscure tools.
https://i.nostr.build/V2PIHg626GafOGba.jpg
This is a hookaroon.
It's used for moving firewood. It allows me to stick a piece of wood and pick it up off the ground without bending over. It's great for dragging logs or branches. I've also found it to be quite useful for demo work like stripping out drywall and pulling up subflooring.
https://i.nostr.build/DaGSNfWRi6mmzuiq.jpg
With just a little creativity, I'm sure you can imagine how useful it could be as a breaching tool or improvised weapon. It's basically a backwoods war hammer. It's definitely one of the things I would grab in case of a zombie apocalypse.

Thinning the population and training the dogs mostly.
We used to always skin them out and they would keep the pelts to sell at the end of season, but anymore they're not worth enough to justify the time skinning.
We tossed them in the back of their truck and I never asked what they're doing with them this year.
My brother kept a hide from a coon he trapped in that same timber last year and he's working on some moccasins/ boot covers but I don't think he's finished them.

Well, there is a bit of a feeling of sadness for taking the life of a beautiful animal. But it is outweighed by a feeling of pride and gratitude.
Pride in my prowess and skill in moving quietly and shooting accurately, in testing myself against a creature that has senses much keener than my own. Pride that I can secure meat for myself and my family. Gratitude that I have the ability and means to hunt, and land on which to do so. And gratitude that the deer was created for the purpose of providing sustenance for man.

I see some low-chroma grey colors on the ped faces, so it's holding water at least a few months of the year.
You've got clay. Just need some compaction to seal it up. If you have the equipment to do so, push some of the clay from the bottom up along the sides to form a clay berm. A sheepsfoot roller is best, but driving wheeled or even tracked equipment over it is better than nothing.
If you don't want to go the equipment route, pen some hogs or ducks in there for a few months.

2025-09-05 02:54:58 CEST

As mentioned, bentonite clay, hogs, or a sheepsfoot roller.
It seems your hole has been dug for a while, long enough for grass to grow, but I can't really see evidence that it's retained water yet.
I see a very well-defined horizon break where the soil layers change.
When you get a chance, post a closer picture of the soil profile and tag me. Can't really determine clay content from an image, but I might be able to notice something that may help.

Here is my tractor.
https://i.nostr.build/J3VURAKwF2Dcjg5O.jpg
It's a 1980 Ford 4610. My great grandpa bought it new. He died before I was born and the tractor passed to my grandpa. He used it while I was growing up. He taught me to drive it about age 13 to 14.
Then Grandpa upgraded to a newer tractor with a cab and the old Ford was sold to my dad sometime during my high school years. I drove it to school once for FFA week and took a few of the girls in my class for rides around the parking lot.
I was borrowing the tractor when I was starting up my own farm and it caught fire in my shop, and burned up the wiring, battery, instrument panel, and steering column. Dad got the insurance payout and bought a different tractor.
I paid the salvage cost to keep the old tractor and we spent the following winter totally rebuilding it, reworked the engine, gaskets, injectors etc. Had the alternator, fuel pump, radiator, clutch, and starter all rebuilt. New tires, new paint job, new wiring harness and instrument panel, and turned some new shifter knobs on the lathe. Now it's ready for about three more generations to enjoy.

True, axes are awesome.
In fact, I'm in my shop, so here are the axes I currently have within reach.

Yeah. Day or two depending on node settings. Wouldn't be difficult to add a small solar panel.

Boosting this note from last fall as #meshtastic etc seems to be trending on Nostr today.
There are some nice ready to go devices on the market, but if you just want to get started for minimal cost, components for this setup were under $32.

It's for any small prying or scraping task that you might be tempted to use your knife blade for thus preventing a dull blade or broken tip
I'm a woodworker part of the time, so for me, it's mostly used for opening cans of wood stain

Good morning
Starting off the week by attending an agriculture conference.
Even in dressier clothes, it's always a good idea to be prepared.

New Chevelle came out this week.
I've also been into this lately.

Revisiting this blend after cellaring for six months.

Meridian from G. L. Pease
I opened the tin and tried it once back in February. Then I transferred it to a mason jar and sealed it up until today.
Smoked in my T Cristiano bent Dublin
The flavors have blended together more uniformly during the cellaring time. Other than the Oriental leaf in the foreground, I no longer detect the individual blending components, the Latakia and Virginia notes having become a pleasant underlying earthiness beneath the Oriental.

Good morning, Nostr.
Everyone on the Internet has an opinion on the current thing, but only I have a picture of this cool old barn.
https://i.nostr.build/5pzseNl6nIItX2AX.jpg
This one is in much better condition than my usual #ruralruins pictures.
Which will survive longer? The real-world structure, or the digital picture on a relay.

Even though it's still hot and humid, woods time is better than scrolling on a screen.

Yep. It's an Emberlit stove. Pot sits on top, feed small sticks through the front, disassembles and packs flat when not in use

This is as close to a vlog as you're going to get from me.

It is currently 96 degrees F and humid. Let this video be a reminder that fall is coming eventually.

I've never been to Boswell's store, but I have a couple of their pipe blends, Northwoods and Countryside, both of which I recommend.
Check #pipestr for some more pipe smoking content.

Here's a Marlin 30-30 with a Leopold scout scope. It gets the job done here in Southern Missouri.

This is the first one I've had, and I'm quite impressed with it.
Some people get picky about blade steel and smooth bearings, but I've been carrying fixed blades and slip joints and haven't had a new modern folder for about 15 years, so it's way smoother and better quality than the flipper knife I had back then.
The Elementum model is quite popular and has linerlock and button lock versions and an impressive number of handle options.

I carried Swiss Army Knives for years, still keep one in my bag daily, along with a pair of Knipex pliers.
I have a Victorinox swisstool spirit that I keep in my leather working box, and it's an excellent tool, but I never took to carrying it daily.

Carry a knife,

We are in Sedalia this week for Missouri State Fair sheep and goat show.
