I used this method today to test some eggs I found buried deep in one of our pine trees. A few of our hens have been hiding their eggs.

That's one of the only downsides to letting your chickens roam free, but it's well worth it because pasture-raised chickens are happy chickens, and the egg-quality from them is unmatched.

Bare feet in the grass, sun shining on the skin, breathing in the fresh air, eating a block of raw cheese, drinking ice cold spring water... life is good.

Enjoy your Sunday everyone ☀️⛰️

What is a Bug-Out Bag?

A "Bug-Out Bag" is a portable emergency kit designed to provide individuals with essential supplies and tools to survive and sustain themselves during a sudden evacuation or crisis.

Also known as a "72-Hour Bag" or "Go Bag," it typically contains items such as food, water, shelter, clothing, firestarter, first aid supplies, and other essential items. The purpose of a Bug-Out Bag is to ensure individuals are well-prepared to leave their home quickly and respond effectively to various emergency situations, such as natural disasters, civil unrest, or other unforeseen events.

These bags are carefully curated to support self-sufficiency and survival for a period of approximately 72 hours.

Typically smaller and more portable than a full-fledged Bug-Out Bag, it contains essential items such as water, food, first aid supplies, a flashlight, and other tools to address immediate needs. The purpose of a Get-Home Bag is to provide a sense of self-sufficiency during unforeseen events like natural disasters, power outages, or other emergencies that may require individuals to leave their current location and travel home safely.

By having a well-equipped bag readily available, individuals can better cope with unexpected challenges and ensure their basic needs are met on the journey home.

I strongly encourage you all to consider building out BOTH a Bug-out Bag and a Get-home Bag.

If you ever need to evacuate your home for whatever reason, you can quickly grab your Bug-out Bag and be good to go for about 72 hours.

If you're traveling somewhere, bring your Get-home Bag with you to ensure you're able to get home safely even if an unfavorable situation arises. Get-home Bags are typically set up as a 24-hour sustainment kit.

If you have any questions or would simply like to see more content about this topic, let me know, and I will gladly provide assistance.

3 new baby goats on the homestead! 🙏🏼🙌🏼

@EvolvedTruth

Have a great day! ☀️

@EvolvedTruth

In most cases, you can simply look at what society is doing, then do the complete opposite, and you'll be better off.

@EvolvedTruth

Instead of doing what society would deem as "normal" - in this instance spraying Glyphosate - one of the most toxic substances in existence on dandelions - one of the most healing and widely accessible plants around - pick them and make some tea.

@EvolvedTruth

Accurate.

@EvolvedTruth

Some excellent gift ideas 👏🏼

@EvolvedTruth

When mirroring Twitter's new logo it looks awfully similar to the freemason symbol... coincidence?

@EvolvedTruth

It really is insane when you think about it...

Doctors will freak out if you tell them you've given your baby new foods "too early" but have no problem whatsoever with injecting them with toxic chemicals immediately after birth.

@EvolvedTruth

Happy Mother's Day to all of you beautiful mothers out there ❤️
