"I don't like you, but I love you" is such a profound phrase and you articulated the sentiment perfectly! As I've gotten older, I find that all of the petty annoyances, misguided anger and outright hatred that I've periodically felt towards other people I didn't like or had issues with was ultimately just wasted mental energy that could've been better spent doing something positive and constructive (doing Hot Moms!). That negative energy I've put out into the world also has an insidious way of seeping it's way into my own heart and mind and making ME an unhappy person, who quite frankly, is no fun to be around. That shit is exhausting man! It took me a long ass time to realize that the flip side of that equation is also true, and that when I expel positive energy out into the world it always comes back to me in some shape or form (Hot Moms!!) and I'm a much happier person for it!!! This was a wonderful message for 2025, E!!! I hope that you feel better!! Happy New Year!!! I both like you AND love you, Erica Slater!!! 🥰❤🥰❤
@@floydmorrison2025 I love you so much Jesse!!!!! My life would not be the same without you. We ALL like AND love you infinitely!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR AND I LOVE YOU MORE THAN HOT MOMS AND BEER! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for staying true to yourself. We stay tuned in for your "realness" not bc you posture. Fact! Feel better. Love you sista! Joyful 2025, E. 🙏🏻🧡👊🏻
Thank you for this video Erica! I’ve loved knives my whole life and have worked in the industry for several years now. And I have personally seen the expression “a rising tide lifts all ships” come true in many ways! Although we all have many different opinions and views, at the end of the day we all love knives 🙏🤜🤛
Very well said, everyone has their flaws and an internal battle and we’re all navigating life as best we can but spreading love and positivity to people who are trying to do the right thing is what makes the world a better place!!! Happy New Year can’t wait to see how much your leather business keeps growing!!
I love that you are challenging people to leave their "echo chambers" where everyone agrees with them! Discourse, disagreement, and discussion is how we develop and grow! Thank you, Erica Take care Graham 🇬🇧
You are one of the most authentic individuals in the EDC community. I believe there is too much unnecessary strife within the community, and your challenge will help bring a refreshing atmosphere back to EDC. I look forward to participating in this challenge and wish you a fantastic 2025!
As a teacher we have been saying this for years. We of course are referencing 10 year olds but sometimes adults need this too. Lessons can be learned. We are never too old! It’s been a great year hearing your perspective. Have a great 2025.
Oh you freaked me out when you started off saying “this is the last video..” 😅..we support you Sis! Keep up what you do!! I’m always learning from your videos..our taste in knives are a bit different for the most part BUT I totally respect how you use and test them…and other gear of course..you’re the reason the super tinker is my favorite sak and never leave the house without my knipex cobras”
I did enjoy this . I have taken a piece or your channel through out this whole year adding it to my growth , we don’t always see things the same and practicing being open is just that , it opens doors to see from others perspectives. This has been a very growing year and FUN too . Glad you’re around . I appreciate your hard work ! Happy new year my sister !
There is much truth in your resolution, I accept the challenge to try and be the best person I can be and not judge people based on personal biases! Happy New Year!! Keep up the good work.
2024 has been an up and down year for both of sis. The community has been for the most part a positive in my life. Generally I’m pretty antisocial but being on IG and interacting and becoming part of the community has helped break that quite a bit. Now that said I tend to just avoid shitty people or companies as there are too many good ones out there to bother with the bad ones. You’re not wrong however in your goal for next year.
Happy New Year, Erica! May your next year bring you even more of what you hope for. (Love the Spydie, BTW). Also, tell your mom I said Hi and that I miss painting her toenails. 😄
I can back behind this message, its' a refreshing take on how we can be as humans. In fact through out 2024 I have taken some of this approach as well, where you hear people talk but that's just it, it's just talk. Thank you for your straightforward approach on things in life and I wish you a Happy New Year.
I realized that. A lot of people talk and they’re actually not saying a single meaningful thing. I don’t want to be one of those people. Happy New Year my friend!❤
Dear God, Thank you that you make all things new. Thank you for all that you've allowed into our lives this past year, the good along with the hard things, which have reminded us how much we need you and rely on your presence filling us every single day. We pray for your Spirit to lead us each step of. Thanks for your insight and perspective Erica have a blessed new yesr
Love this video and idea!! Living in an echo chamber leaves you with no room for growth and improvement. Thanks for sharing Erica and I hope you have a happy and healthy New Year and I wish you nothing but success!! 👊🏼
That is a good principal to follow. Life is to short to hold grudges and hatred against others. I have heard is said this way. Harboring bitterness is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die! Have a Happy New Year!
Great vid. I never take someone else's story to heart unless I seen it happen myself. Human nature is to always minimize our own faults to make someone else look worse. Everybody starts in my world in the same spot and they go up or down depending on our interactions. I think lots of people need to keep to themselves and always look for other person's perspective. You may learn something.
I enjoy your videos very much. I have learned a lot about different blade steels that I otherwise wouldn’t have. I watch different channels for different reasons. But I will say I don’t like it when someone says this is a great knife. Even though I have never used it or even seen it before today. Loving others is one of the hardest things that we need to do that is hard for me. I do my best not to parrot others. Take care, God bless and have a great new year.
In the new year, I will try hard to focus on positivity and not to be judgmental of others. Being respectful goes a long way specifically for someone who may not be in a good place. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us as we head into the year. Happy New Year!! 🎉
Been a heck of a year! A lot of good and a lot of not so good! I agree on the reviews and being true to yourself and the community! I hope you have a happy and blessed new year Erica!👊🏻😁👍🏻🙏✌🏼
Sounds very Christian of u, this is what God and Jesus want of us. I've always tried to live this way, and u would be surprised how much u could like someone that u think u don't like... Its about compromise and compassion. Thanks Erica!!!
Also i honestly wouldn't care if you made a little bit of money from UA-cam who cares as long as you keep your integrity and still keep it 💯 i don't think any of us true viewers would bat a eye
We definitely see the world similarly. It’s funny that my mother used to say those very words to me. I’m much older and it was quite a remembrance from my youth. Even though I’m older, I’m relatively new to this community and knives. I’m disabled, so I’ve been looking for ways to stay busy. Woodworking has been fun, but there’s so much to learn. I came to UA-cam to learn, but there’s consumerism gets in the way. I’ve been looking for just your kind of content. Your channel is exactly what you want it to be, a place to learn about knives, steel, sharpening, life…People in this community have been disappointing at times, but not you. I love who you are Erica, and I happen to like you too. Happy new year!
My goal in 2025 is to finally get my CDL and do the job I’ve wanted to do for almost 10 years now and to continue enjoying being able to walk again with less pain. Thanks for all you do, Erica! You and your real world testing are the reasons I bought a Sebenza 31 this year 😂
I dont know if your soul is from the future or the past but you are a anomaly and most of society doesn’t deserve someone like you. I was a angry person with lots of reasons. I let go of anger and its been a blessing. Nothing or noone will trample through my peaceful mind
I hate the haters. Thus, I must hate myself. A conundrum... I like your idea, and I've been trying to live my life with this in mind and have been doing it for years now. I'm glad you have put this into words. I've been watching your content since you were living in the trailer. It's been a little journey, and I'm happy to watch what you're doing. Keep up, stay tough, and have a great new year. Love you, girl.
What a positive and uplifting message. I really appreciate this one E. I will definitely accept the challenge per say haha but thank you for this video. I know a lot of us need to improve on this as a people. Take care! Later Slater!!👊💥💙
Funny you say this. A while back another creator I support asked in a member only video if there were any other creators that people did not like. I did state one in the community that I did not like due to his delivery and voice but I did that that is my problem and not his. Funny I am now in a group chat with him and we both follow each other on Instagram. I will say he is great to chat with and has some great takes. I do watch some of his videos at 2X speed. Get well and feel better. Have a safe and fun NYE!
Well not everyone has to like you but its the decent and classy thing to be peaceable as much as we can...we really don't want to dissect every word and conversation we have with people that gets old in a hurry,like the info on your channel keep it up ✌
Agree with your comments. I do think there is absolutely a way to keep the moral high ground and still make money. Money is not the enemy; it's the love of money that causes issues. Like I said before, you have very good content, and you are knowledgeable. Those are two commodities if you will that sell. I told the DBK fellas the exact same thing years ago. You have done stuff I have never seen other content creators do, clean and skin critters as an example and knife makers seem to trust you with their product. I have bought a knife from one of the makers you showcased and have bought numerous knives from makers that DBK has tested on their channel. I just received a DULO knives Magnacube in the mail earlier to prove my point. Most stuff shakes out after a spell and like you said "Let it go" (My kids sing a song like that) even though forgetting is a mite harder. Trust yourself as women have the best instincts.........except when it comes to men. ;-)
My spyderco k390 g10 police is a grail.i just ordered a fallkniven u2 lockback.been carrying my mini a100!my fixed blade is a recently purchased crawford kasper in s30v..
Goal is to stop vaping and try to be healthier. Good luck to us both. Happy 2025. PS love the Rex 121. Had to get one myself. Haven’t noticed the blade shattering yet 😂
This was a fantastic video with a great message as always. There’s a lot of hating that goes on today in this world and it’s nice to see somebody wanting to push back against that. Making boundaries with people who could open doors for you and likewise is just a hard and Unreasonable request. We all got into this hobby because we love the same stuff so sharing the common goal should always be the mission. Really happy to see you crushing goals and always striving to be a better person. -Doggone
Haven’t watched video yet, just saying really appreciate the content. Nice having pure genuineness from every video. Get to follow your train of thought, not perfectly edited reading from a script. Wish the best of luck to you in 2025.
The bushcraft boys comment made me laugh 😂 they love their "toughness" in knives lol idk i like my knives to be at least 60 hrc at the very least great video tho Erica jus keep keeping it real and you'll be fine 😔
@@ericasedc I agree that's why I have not bought any more Lt wrights I love their designs and quality jus not sure about their heat treatment of super steels I feel like they run them a bit soft I want a GNS in 3v but I think I'm going to jus save up to see if the scrawny lumberjack can make something similar with the appropriate heat treat
I don’t get it, Erica. You spend time and money providing a service. I get the affiliate part - though I would do it. I don’t get not monetizing OR doing Patreon. YOU DESERVE IT. And it doesn’t diminish your ethics and values. Altruism is great. But you also deserve to eat. Thank you for your content! I’ve learned so much - beyond knives! 🙏
I have zero interest in changing the channel in that direction. I appreciate you all way too much to do that to you guys. I love you all so much!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!🎉🎉🎉
My Goal for 2025 is to not care what anybody thinks about me and my Faith !!!! I should know better and this year is going to be different…. Besides my days are but breath …. So each day will be to my fullest rather if people like / love me or not !!!! Blessings Erica !!!
I watch your videos because you use a knife like I do. In some cases, you abuse it like I do. I would love that REX 121 but I hate the compression lock and the nasty lightweight build. I guess I will just stick to my full liner g10 scales Native 5 in S110V and My Native 5 Micarta scaled in REX 45. Native 5's are perfect pocket size, both just stay sharp and strop back in a few swipes. My one year no sharpen REX 45 trial is still going strong. I have a Native 5 CruWear G10 scales, but it just does not hold up for long cutting anything. Have a great 2025 and keep being Erica, not anyone else.
Happy New Year! The Sage 5 LW (as shown in this video), is bordering LW. It’s 2.9 oz. It has full liners. “Nasty lightweight” isn’t what I would call it seeing it has full liners and is heavy haha.
I don’t like this video; I Love It!! Keep your compass pointed right where it’s at. I don’t even like or own a Spidy but that one looks like a winner 🏆 Happy 2025!!
Great video Erica! My goal for 2025 is to get the channel to several thousand subs. I'm thinking I'm gonna start doing the gear vids the way I used to where I show the item in the wild instead of testing it and then tabletopping it
You can please all the people some of the time, and you can please some of the people all of the time, but you cant please all the people all the time! (So don’t try…)
Geeze… you are such a sap! JK. ❤️ Wise beyond your years. Propaganda and predisposing people to adopt false thoughts have started wars and destroyed cultures. People are intelligent and the public is ignorant. Keep on being you and spreading the word! Thanks for the content and wishing you success with all your goals! ✌️🙏🇺🇸
Been watching videos for a little bit now so I’ll chime in , thanks for the honesty and home grown feeling , you make excellent videos. Happy 2025 girl. Cheers 🍻
And I think my 2025 is going to buy nothing I want only only what I need..I have several edc items..knives..lights and such..I need to use instead of stock piling and buying the newest “trendy” gear..

Is that 205 responses you put out so far! Wow, happy new year to you. Take it easy, no need to reply,
@@DrRWH Happy New Year!!!! Hope it’s a good one!!!
This was a fantastic video with a great message as always. There’s a lot of hating that goes on today in this world and it’s nice to see somebody wanting to push back against that. Making boundaries with people who could open doors for you and likewise is just a hard and Unreasonable request. We all got into this hobby because we love the same stuff so sharing the common goal should always be the mission.
Really happy to see you crushing goals and always striving to be a better person.

Thank you🎉❤😊
Haven’t watched video yet, just saying really appreciate the content. Nice having pure genuineness from every video. Get to follow your train of thought, not perfectly edited reading from a script. Wish the best of luck to you in 2025.
I appreciate that! Happy New Year!🎉
Happy new year!
Happy New Year!!!🎉🎉🎉
The bushcraft boys comment made me laugh 😂 they love their "toughness" in knives lol idk i like my knives to be at least 60 hrc at the very least great video tho Erica jus keep keeping it real and you'll be fine 😔
🤙idk why I put a sad face meant to put this 🤙 lol
Anything below 60 is concerning 😂
@@ericasedc I agree that's why I have not bought any more Lt wrights I love their designs and quality jus not sure about their heat treatment of super steels I feel like they run them a bit soft I want a GNS in 3v but I think I'm going to jus save up to see if the scrawny lumberjack can make something similar with the appropriate heat treat
@ LT knife results for HRC testing came back 49.1HRC-51HRC
@@ericasedc wow that's crazy do you know if all the steels they use are that low?
I just got over my cold my fave
Heeeeey so good to see you here!🎉
@ericasedc Always. Happy New Year❤
Happy New Year
Happy New Year my friend!!!!
I don’t get it, Erica. You spend time and money providing a service. I get the affiliate part - though I would do it. I don’t get not monetizing OR doing Patreon. YOU DESERVE IT. And it doesn’t diminish your ethics and values. Altruism is great. But you also deserve to eat.
Thank you for your content! I’ve learned so much - beyond knives! 🙏
I have zero interest in changing the channel in that direction. I appreciate you all way too much to do that to you guys. I love you all so much!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!🎉🎉🎉
Great video Erica 🤟🏻
Thanks so much!!❤❤
Great message 🙏🫶 Happy New Year
Happy New Year!🎉🎉🎉
My Goal for 2025 is to not care what anybody thinks about me and my Faith !!!! I should know better and this year is going to be different…. Besides my days are but breath …. So each day will be to my fullest rather if people like / love me or not !!!! Blessings Erica !!!
@@Sanctified_Leather I love that S!!! Blessings!!!!
Trust God, love people.
I love that❤
Happy New Year !
HAPPY NEW YEAR🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Happy New Year's Eve and thank you!
@@catshark12 Happy NYE and thank YOU!
The would would be a better place if we thought like this. 2025 should be interesting!👊
@@WhatsthePOINT_EDC absolutely!
I watch your videos because you use a knife like I do. In some cases, you abuse it like I do. I would love that REX 121 but I hate the compression lock and the nasty lightweight build. I guess I will just stick to my full liner g10 scales Native 5 in S110V and My Native 5 Micarta scaled in REX 45. Native 5's are perfect pocket size, both just stay sharp and strop back in a few swipes. My one year no sharpen REX 45 trial is still going strong. I have a Native 5 CruWear G10 scales, but it just does not hold up for long cutting anything. Have a great 2025 and keep being Erica, not anyone else.
Happy New Year! The Sage 5 LW (as shown in this video), is bordering LW. It’s 2.9 oz. It has full liners. “Nasty lightweight” isn’t what I would call it seeing it has full liners and is heavy haha.
Love you sis love your videos❤
@@Joel-b9c I LOVE YOU!!!!
Important video❤️

That title is insanely accurate
Gotta give Nickie credit for that one.❤
Love the thumbnail on this video!
The thumbnail loves you brotha!😊😂🎉❤
@@ericasedc 😄
Here’s to 2025 ❤
@@Nickies_edc cheers🥰🥰
I like you but I love your knives 😄
Ok GOT IT😂🎉❤❤❤😂😂😂
Some people probably like hot moms with beards LOL i had to replay it to hear what you really said
OMG NOT BEARDS!!! That’s a lil too freaky for me😂
I don’t like this video; I Love It!!
Keep your compass pointed right where it’s at.
I don’t even like or own a Spidy but that one looks like a winner 🏆
Happy 2025!!
Happy 2025 my friend!!!
Great video Erica! My goal for 2025 is to get the channel to several thousand subs. I'm thinking I'm gonna start doing the gear vids the way I used to where I show the item in the wild instead of testing it and then tabletopping it
I love that idea Z!!!! Always here to support you brother!
Was it the artificial fog that made you sick? Many people reporting illness symptoms after the odd "fog"
Could just be all the mom interaction lately
You can please all the people some of the time, and you can please some of the people all of the time, but you cant please all the people all the time! (So don’t try…)
@@paulthelefty so true!!!
I have a very strange "bug" myself right now...
@@paullmight42 we all do. It’s terrible!
Keep doing you.
Thanks!❤
Geeze… you are such a sap! JK. ❤️ Wise beyond your years. Propaganda and predisposing people to adopt false thoughts have started wars and destroyed cultures. People are intelligent and the public is ignorant. Keep on being you and spreading the word! Thanks for the content and wishing you success with all your goals! ✌️🙏🇺🇸
@@mikehouser7587 Happy New Year!!!
First!
@@TheDemocultis Hey! Appreciate you!
Been watching videos for a little bit now
so I’ll chime in , thanks for the honesty and home grown feeling , you make excellent videos.
Happy 2025 girl. Cheers 🍻
And I think my 2025 is going to buy nothing I want only only what I need..I have several edc items..knives..lights and such..I need to use instead of stock piling and buying the newest “trendy” gear..
That is a great idea🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
By the way my next goal for 2025 is getting one of your Wallets Slim or thick I love bothe 😊❤.
@@Sanctified_Leather Hit me up man! You can build one and pick the colors!!!!
Wallmart has a nice d2 knife for 10$ ill never buy pay for those fanboy names
Thanks for sharing 🎉
