🔥🔪 WE WERE BEYOND EXCITED TO HAVE DOUG Marcaida REVIEW THE LK HICKORY KNIFE! 🔪🔥

When you put your heart into something, there’s nothing better than seeing it get into the hands of someone who knows knives and is willing to put it to the test! Ryan Gutierrez We were absolutely thrilled to have Doug Marcaida take the time to review the LK Hickory Knife, made by Kram Knives! 🇺🇸🪵

This knife is something special to us here at Lost Ways Survival and Homestead. Whether it’s out in the woods, around the homestead, or handling everyday camp chores, we believe a good knife is a tool you can count on.

A huge THANK YOU to Doug Marcaida for taking the time to check it out and share his thoughts! We appreciate the support and the opportunity to get the LK Hickory in front of more folks who appreciate quality knives and practical gear.

This is what the knife community is all about — good people, quality craftsmanship, and tools built to be used! 💪🔥

To God Be The Glory! 🙏

🚒🪵 SOMETHING NEW FROM THE WOODSHOP! 🔥

Just finished up something new in the shop! Introducing our Rustic Wooden Fireman prayer Plaque! 🚒

Combining that old-fashioned rustic look with a little craftsmanship and a lot of heart, this piece is made to honor the men and women who answer the call and put their lives on the line to help others.

As a firefighter myself, I know the meaning behind the badge runs deep. It's more than a job; it's a brotherhood, a commitment, and a calling to serve our communities. ❤️🚒

We're always looking for new ways to combine traditional woodworking with our laser shop to create unique pieces with meaning and character.

🔥 What do y'all think of this new piece out of the shop? Let us know in the comments! if want one hit us up

🙏 To God Be The Glory!

Some folks measure wealth in dollars. Around here, we measure it in skills, hard work, and a handshake.
Today, me and Sassy spent the day helping out on a local farm, trading our labor instead of opening our wallets. In return, we brought home corn, potatoes, and wheat berries. That's the old way of doing things—neighbors helping neighbors, honest work, and providing for your family without everything revolving around money.
Bartering isn't just a thing of the past. It's a skill worth keeping alive, and it's another step toward a more self-reliant lifestyle. We're thankful for the opportunity, the fellowship, and the blessings that come from a hard day's work.

Well... it happened again. 🤦‍♂️
Someone said, "Do you want 7 free goats?"
Now, any normal person would probably think about it first. Me? I was already backing up the cargo trailer before they finished the sentence. 😂
So there we were... me and Sassy, rolling down the road looking like professional goat herders. The goats seemed to have their own opinions about the travel arrangements, and let's just say loading them into a cargo trailer was less "Yellowstone" and more "comedy show."
After a lot of coaxing, bribing, and questioning our life choices, we finally got all 7 goats loaded and headed home.
The good news? We got 7 free goats.
The bad news? We now own 7 more goats. 🤣
If anyone needs us, we'll be out in the pasture trying to convince ourselves that this was a good idea.
