About⬇️
Hi, Im Alex, im a knife maker and CZcamsr, based out of southern Pennsylvania and my youtube channel is Outdoors55. This channel started as an outdoor backpacking channel, but quickly grew into a knife/ knife making channel. Everything I do on my channel is family friendly. I primarily focus on knife / knife making videos but occasionally throw in something different. Thank you for watching!😀

I love your channel man, really glad your back
You've put together a cool little DIY channel.
Always Will stick around!
Glad your back
If you do need help with the PC LMK here and I'll email you if you want me to.
CZcams was just jealous they couldn't sharpen a knife like you.

Classic.
Preach it
Wow I can't believe they demontized your channel. What the hell? WhY?? Love watching your videos and I am glad that you keep making them.
I love your channel to!
Hi Lilly! I like your videos and I think it's cool you also watch Alex.100% with you, it's insane that he got demonetized.
CZcams demontized his video it's not fair
yeah.. .y? can u tell us what happened?
They demonitised him because he spoke out about the scam of covid, classic censorship and repression technique in a consumerist programmed materialistic society. They will censor any and all of the millions of doctors coming clean about the lies, some of them have even died in mysterious circumstances unsurprisingly.
Those of us who don’t rely on this platform for our income have no appreciation for the inequitable censorship going on right now!
I don't totally rely on it for that very reason. Its such a touchy thing.
@@OUTDOORS55 I can imagine!
@A Lucky Man! hahahahahk 😂
Lucky the truth about things are finally starting to surface.
You should start a Patreon. There are plenty of people out there willing to support content creators directly. We can only buy so many strops to support you before we run out of space!
*_YES_*
Second this
Patreon can be as political as CZcams, FYI.
Going to miss the construction noise and the neighbors mowing the yard.
HAHA! That goes back to the good old days!👍
That is the good old days
I was just thinking about you the other day, and that I hadn't seen any videos recently. Glad to see you're alright
Still kicking!
I was just thinking the same
Your very talented bud , youtube is a strange animal untamed forsure . You keep filming and I will keep watching . 👍👍🇱🇷
Appreciate it my friend!
Agree with the heart of what ya say, but I'd flip the script. This dudes a real creature, CZcams is trying to turn a wilderness into a manicured 'safari', full of nothing but the tame.
@@Scp716creativecommons CZcams like all social media in mandating content comply to what they think is socialy acceptable . What I see in society today as socialy acceptable make me think twice about wanting to be a part of any of it . Most just want to get off the crazy train . 😅
Im so happy you're back, i hope all your problems get resolved wishing you luck
Doesn't matter if you STOPPED posting videos lately, the important thing is that you've returned, and pls KEEP postig new ones! I missed them a lot.
Yeah, me too👍💪
Agree!!
G'day from Brisbane Australia 👋👋🌞.. you are back!.. great to see you again!
Hope it all works out... we are all cheering for you!

Glad to see ya back, keep on keepin on...
So nice to see you back. Hope everything goes nice man.
I appreciate all the time you spend on your videos. You taught me everything I know about knife sharpening and the gear to buy.
Glad you're okay and healthy. You prevented me from some rookie mistakes through your videos. Blessings from Europe and keep your head up!
I had found your channel a while back and I binge watch all your videos and I was wondering what had happened to you, but I’m happy you uploaded once again, I hope you the best and cheers from Texas !!
Thanks for watching! Its always appreciated!
Yay he’s still alive!
Very happy you are back. Missed your knife making videos and tips. I am just a novice maker so I need all your help to get better. Looking forward to new videos and I still refer to your "older" videos. Keep up the great work!
I was just looking on your page last week to see when you last posted a video. I'm happy to hear things are working out for you. Can't wait for the new content.
What?! They did what!?
Alex, your loyal subscribers are sticking with you, man🇬🇧🙏🏻🇺🇸
Thanks! Always appreciated!
Miss you man. All i did was trying to perfect my skills in sharpening my knife. Thank you for all the knowledge bro. Now my son is taking notes as well (9yr old) Salute!!!
Been missing your videos, man. You’re talented and provide a lot of valuable input to those who watch your stuff. I’ve shown your videos to tons of people around here, fellow knife makers and ransoms and they’re hooked. Keep it up, your videos are still as good as they used to be by the way! We WILL keep supporting you however we can
nice to see you are back;. good on you for persevering. always really enjoyed your stuff, missed it. do it your way, we'll love it.
Hey, I actually became a subscriber during your hiatus and have seen the majority of your content. I love what you do, and you have inspired me to try my hand at my first knife. I'm cleaning out a space for my new workshop as I type. Glad to see your return, and that you're okay!
I'm very happy to see you back on here!
I've missed your videos and humor, no one else can do them like you!
Just this week I found your channel and I really love it! Entertaining, funny and instructional with good advice! Can't beat that combination! I haven't finished watching all your videos yet but I do look forward to new videos coming. Best of luck!
Will keep checking back on a regular basis...see how your making out . Keep well, stay strong...get out into the woods to keep your spirits up! Cheers Mike .
Hey man, I’ve seen my fair share of people ghost their channels and I was worried you had too. Just knowing that you’re still alive, that you haven’t abandoned your channel and that things seem to going in a better direction for definitely raises spirits.
I finally got my G-pa's old Buck Pathfinder back to hair popping sharp thanks to your vids. Cheers man :-)
I missed your videos. You're one of my favorite video makers on CZcams. Down to earth, sensible, mostly inexpensive advice and reviews. Good luck with your housing and workshop situations.
Glad to have you back. Looking forward to watching your new projects.
I’m really starting to really miss your vid I hope everything is doing good and you are finding some really nice house
Still no place to live! Hopefully be back soon! Thanks my friend 👍👊
Gettin Old means gettin wise - glad you're "back" (?)
That’s crazy. I’m sorry you had to go through that. I’m glad you were able to get it resolved. We’re just glad to have you back. Love your sharpening videos!
I'm glad you are back! I think you have a great sense of humor, and very talented in what you do, so all and all a joy to watch.
Hey man, its been awhile huh, i did order two strops and two compounds (1 and 3) and I love them, i am 15 and learned all my sharpenomg skills from you and even started a small business, can't express my thanks to you, and as the famous saying goes "This too shall pass", so give it time, everything will pan out eventually, have a good one and keep up the awesome work!
Thanks my friend!
I'm 14 and I learn about knife from this channel too
The one good thing about you being gone is you gave time for your arm hair to grow back. I'm glad to see your back I got into knife sharpening because of you and now it's one of my favorite hobbies and I'll use it forever and teach it to my kids one day I would like to sincerely thank you for helping me learn a new skill I will treasure forever
Thanks for the update. Hope all continues to go uphill for you. Taking a break is a good idea, I think a lot of people could use one right now.
Love your style of videos, you don't take yourself too serious.
Looking forward to whatever you put up down the line. Good luck!
Just for reference. I worked in a slaughter house for 10y in the 70s. The best blades we used were from an American company called. Russell. Green river works. I used to give it a tickle on my oil stone in the mornings and that was it for the rest of the day with just a glide across my steel every so often. I still have them . And christ they are just as sharp now as they were back in the day. PS The victory knocks are crap.
Get some quick release plates. I've got 3 cameras & they all have the same setup. Then I put mounts everywhere, especially on the ceiling(even on sliders to move across the ceiling. No more tripods to trip over & set up/break down takes about 5 minutes. I can go anywhere in the shop, get every machine in no time. Though every once in a while I walk into mount, scratch my head & cuss for a few minutes, hahaha... Hope all is well, take it easy.
Glad your back, I missed your videos. You are not only fill with great knowledge, but just a blast to watch. Take care, good luck.
So glad you're back! I was just getting into knife making when the pandemic hit and your videos stopped, so I put it all on hold waiting for the summer heat to pass and hoping you'd be back! Looking forward to seeing what you do next :)
nobody would be unhappy if you put up a patreon , a tipee, ect, also yes sponsorships are a massive help for channels , EVERYBODY knows that, don't feel ashamed if you feel like you could do some.
to be honest i'm writing this because, i just want to cheer you up, you provided content that was very nice and enjoyable to watch, nothing ''crazy'' but stuff i could think about and be like , " hey this looks within my reach ! " (making me learn about stuff ect) i don't really know what to say tbh, just glad to see you didn't straight up disappear x)
Thanks for the comment! I would rather stay away from sponsorships. I would rather make things that actually help people and make a difference, rather than do some silly add that just wastes people's time. Im never saying never, just my current thoughts🙂👍
@@OUTDOORS55 Just to chime in with my two cents here. I don't think anyone would mind those sponsorships where you just say "Todays video was sponsored by Audible" at the beginning and then at the end when all the actual content of the video is over have their little 30 second spiel. But I get what you mean and things like Raid Shadow Legends that seemed to require creators to put a 2 minute infomercial at the beginning of the video with gameplay footage and stuff were definitely annoying.
Rambling aside, I am sure you would see support from your fans if you found other ways to monetize your content creation such as patreon, those tipping things, or that website where you donate in increments of buying a coffee. Whatever you decide, I hope you stay safe, stay well, and continue pursuing your passions even if you can't make as much content as you used to.
Yeah i don't mind the ads, if it can help you out do it
@@OUTDOORS55 Another Outdoor55 fan (and CZcams despiser) who would be only too happy to add you as a monthly $5 donation to keep you in my inbox.
@@OUTDOORS55 Hey Man, Paypal has s 'tips' option. get that setup. just fans giving you enough for a new bar of steel. Can't hurt.
When I was first really getting into knives, you were one of the few people on CZcams talking about the importance of a strop, and convinced me to buy one. So by doing that, you significantly improved every knife-related aspect of my life.
Haha same here my friend!
Welcome back! Missed you, I look forward to learning even more things in your entertaining way! Take your time, no worries. I would rather have to be patient, then have you burn out, or be pushed out, and have to stop posting all together.
You got me into knife making and you're my favorite knife channel thank you!!!
YOUR BACK
Im BACK!😊
@@OUTDOORS55 I'm glad you are back alex
...Is itchy?
It isn’t necessarily just the content we watch for, it’s also the maker of that content, not only from what you teach but also as a a friend/family as well !
Keep well mate and 🤞🤞for you ! 👍
Glad to see you back! A lot of your videos are super informative and fun to watch.
Best of luck going forward, will look forward to new videos!
So happy to see you again.
I’ve been very happy with the folding saw and strops you’ve made. I can’t wait to see what’s coming next!
Thank you. Best of everything to you and yours. 👍
He's alive!
Nice to see you back, and I'm very sorry for the demonetizing thing. I have no idea why it happened, but losing your income source right at the start of the pandemic must've been reaaaally bad. I don't know where you're going to take the channel, but I'll stick around anyway.
Good luck with finding a new place for you and your workshop!
Great to see you back, I'm sorry you have had a tough time but looking forward to more of your unique style.
Dude! So glad to see your name again in my notifications! Always been my favorite knife channel, but understand any change in direction you take. I’m sure I’ll enjoy the ride. Subbed for life!
You're going to be fine. Just keep doing something that needs doing every day. At least at bedtime you can say you accomplished something. Sounds dumb, but it can help you move forward with some optimism. 👍
Because of you I went from a knife and steel newb to a steel nerd! I bought multiple spydercos and other knives in real steels not that no name junk. I also have a full sharpening setup with stones and stropps. I have leather, balsa, and bass wood strops with diamond compound's. This all took place over the past month. This pandemic has given me way too much time. Lol!
That story sound a whole lot like mine. I'm glad I'm not the only!!
I appreciate the videos you post.
Your videos are informative, clear and concise.
Hope everything works out well for you. Only found your channel a few weeks ago and learned a ton of really useful information about sharpening. Thanks and I hope you can keep it up! Best wishes from the UK.
I’m sorry for what CZcams did to you. You didn’t deserve that man. I’d like to say a bunch of things about YT but I’ll just keep it to myself. Thanks for the content.
I clicked this so fast
I miss you really
Thanks for introducing me to stropping and knife making. Just heat treated my first blades and looking forward to completing them.
Sorry you had to go through all of that BS. Glad you’re back. I have learned so much from watching your videos. Thank YOU!!
You should open a patreon we would support you
Or an only fans 😆
I bought a strop and diamond compound from your site and all I can say is aces, really fantastic. Excellent quality, shipped quickly. Now if I can only get my hands on a Knife Point Gear diamond stone... nice tease at the end of the video
@@kurtwatson9039 Is that what that was?
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 yessir. It’s coming
Buying stuff is a great way to support the whole operation.
YES IM RETIRED,living on fix income,i sold my house ,renting now,do have a work shop,cant sell any knives..asking $150.00 mabey to much...they cost me $125.00 to make..im tired of giving things away ...ill figer some thing out...but now you..do you have some money from the sale,small pice land steel building,start again,your very smart,and talented.i started from you...the 4x36 belt sander.sharpen people knives..$5.00 most then got a 1x42 grinder.things getting better...so if i can help you i will.money tools,what do you need??all your follers will kick in.so do it again...walter
Best knife videos on CZcams, glad you're back man.
agreed
Miss your videos, they were always a blast to watch, I still go back to them from time to time. Hope all is well, hope to see more videos from you soon!
Thank you for keeping up posting! I really love your channel!. I really hope everything works out for you. Take care.
Never put all your eggs in one Basket. Try different platforms like Facebook that is an untapped market and many content producers don't realise that. Also try to incorporate brand deals and become their ambassador. Try investing in other ventures always keep a safe side. Teach knife making a blacksmith skills to people who want to learn and start their own businesses
Hey buddy this kind of ''negativism'' is all around... I lived that in my beloved Italy... Don't worry, get up and go on!!!
Been wondering about you and if you're well. Hope to see you come out the other side in great shape.
Thanks for the inspiration to learn a new skill.
Found your channel last night at work after searching how to sharpen knives properly using a stone. Immediately subscribed after watching a couple vids. I hope you keep the content coming. You're providing valuable, useful info and instruction to countless people! Thank you!
Some are moving over to a site by the name of local’s.com I don’t know if it would work for you
Remember the days when CZcams was a platform where anybody could share anything what he wanted with the whole world?
People like Alex Jones ruined it for the rest of us.
@@kirkjohnson9353 I think it has more to do with their "all consuming political ideology" ! Create a false history, dumb down the Masses, and silence the truth tellers.
@@dannyarrowheadstalker3054 Silencing Alex Jones is the opposite of silencing a truth teller. He lied about Sandy Hook until it began to look like it was going to cost him money then his tune flipped. "I was wrong about Sandy Hook. It actually happened." Of course this does not affect the love of his true believers.
Yeah some people took that too far and started to foment hate and sedition...so deal.
I hope everything will go where you want them i'm glad that your back
I have a idea make a full series on knife making like from beginner to pro and if you want to set a shop what tools to get and why that will be some good content
The last video you posted, was the first video I saw from your channel lol. Glad to see that you're hanging in there! Stay safe out there and God bless!
At this point youtube just doesnt want to pay people.
The real reason he's been gone so long is it took covid almost a year to assume direct control
love your channel, thanks for coming back
Glad to see a new video. The information you provided got me my start at knife making.
We have missed you buddy. Hope all keeps going in a positive direction. Will keep watching when you post!!!
Glad to see you back! Pretty much learned to sharpen from your videos! Made my first knife last weeks from an old saw blade with homemade micarta. Hope to see a lot more of your videos!
Subscribed just about a week or so after your last vid. Read you post in community so knew you were busy. Just glad you're back now. Your dry since of humor makes your vids different and entertaining than most knife channels. Glad you're back (or will be soon) and hoping all gets better for you. Hang in there.
Glad to hear things are going well. Glad to see the new vid too.
Glad to have you back, Alex. Looking forward to your new content in the future!
👍👍👍👍👍👍 thanx for coming back!!!!!
Learned so much from your videos. I hope you go through these bad times and get back on the track real soon.
Very excited to see you back on CZcams and looking forward to new content ,can’t do Alec Steele . Hope your house situation works out and the videos start flowing. Thx for coming back 🤘
Welcome back! Good to see you again and thanks for sharing the story.
glad you're back. just spent a couple hours watching your older stuff. fantastic man
YES!!! I’ve been checking your channel hoping that you’d come back. Welcome back!
Best of luck to ya in all your new ventures. I enjoy this channel because it's informative and entertaining. Can't wait to see what new ideas for videos you come up with.
