    About Simple Little Life:
    This channel has sort of turned (inadvertently) into a knife making channel. But the original idea behind what we wanted it to be is this description below:
    Videos on our journey to homesteading. With a recent purchase of a little piece of the Alberta prairie, we're looking to sell our nice suburban home in search of a more meaningful life beyond chasing the "American dream" working for some big company and making someone else rich. It's not about the money, it's about getting the most value from the work I do to improving the life of my family.
    Some preparedness, DIY, building quality things with your hands, guns, gear, and outdoor exploration.

    Of all the knife making videos I've seen this has to be the best. The information, your voice, and the camera work was perfect.

    I notice you making your own tools, and remarking about how much emery cloth you go through. Here is a tip, take a strip of emery cloth and, using your favorite wood glue, glue the strip of emery cloth to an equal size strip of leather, like a length of an old belt, use a high quality cloth backed emery cloth, to give some longevity to your new "Belt Sander" Pah-ha-ha-ah-ha, I crack me up. Really enjoyed you video, man you do a good job, and your narration is easy to understand, the simplicity is great, and all of the tools you have made, really cool dude, thanks.

    • @Simplelittlelife
