He shared a short video of himself splitting a small log outdoors, but as soon as Evans brought his ax down, the person recording the video let a tiny brown dog loose that playfully chased him up a hill.
Evans also included a photo of himself pointing at the engine of a black Toyota pickup truck with its hood open.
In most of the photos, he included a vinyl copy of his upcoming album Steel Town, which will be released on March 20.
Evans conspicuously placed a copy on top of his log pile and then rested it against an upturned log, and he also leaned it against the open hood of the truck's exposed engine.

Bobby Bones, who conducted the interview that bizarrely incensed Stokes, commented 'I laughed' on Evans's post
'This is about the most pathetic excuse of masculinity ive ever seen. Get a f***ing life,' Stokes wrote in a since-deleted comment on Instagram.
During the interview, Evans said he was 'not expecting that conversation' when Ballerini told him she wanted a divorce in 2022.
'I definitely wasn't [expecting it], and it took me by surprise,' Evans told Bones, 45.
Initially, it seemed that Ballerini and Stokes had weathered the storm of their breakup in September. After all, just three months after splitting, it was reported that they decided to revive their romance.
But things came crashing down 'around the New Year,' a source told the Daily Mail, as and their conflicting goals drove a wedge between them.
Meanwhile, Evans is currently dating singer Laci Kaye Booth, 30.
Evans previously alluded he was surprised by Ballerini's divorce request in his 2022 song Over for You.
'How long have you been waiting / To take our pictures down? / How long have you been breaking? Why am I just finding out?' he sang in the first verse.

In the chorus he goes on to sing: 'How many times did you say you loved me / When it wasn't true? / I'm just wondering / How long has it been over for you?'
Ballerini then responded with her own song, Blindsided (Yeah, Sure, Okay).
The song detailed her failed marriage, with lyrics like: 'I told you what I needed, didn't have to read my mind / So, were you blindsided or were you just blind?'
Ballerini continued with the poignant lyrics, 'Years of sitting across from me in therapy / I know the truth is hard to hear, but it wasn't hard to find / Baby, were you blindsided or were you just blind?'
The two began dating in 2016, and tied the knot one year later in 2017 during a romantic ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. However, in August 2022, the singers announced that they were divorcing after nearly five years of marriage.
