Old barn in the woods. Polk County, Missouri #ruralruins #grownostr #getoutside

Today, we're going to learn about one of my favorite obscure tools. 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. 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. #grownostr #obscuretools #hookaroon #getoutside

Working in the woods today. It's 14° F. Good morning for a fire. Now that deer season is over, it's time for some high-impact woods activities. I have several dead and fallen tree clean up and process into firewood. #grownostr #proofofwork #fire #getoutside #knifestr

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
