Good to be sharing something new with you guys!

Good to be a part of! Please keep making new videos I missed them so much! :)

Amen

[@brettmillard1338]

For real! I got on and said "WHAT!?! A NEW ZAC IN THE WHILE VIDEO!"

[@marioviolante3885]

Zac I speak for everyone when I say we’ve missed you and your content. Please continue to make more!!!

[@zacinthewild]

👊🤘

[@samuelkolousek8563]

Zach, I can't express how much I miss your videos. I still think back to those early days of Blade HQ, before Ben joined the crew. Those were the golden years when you were leading the charge, crafting some of my all-time favorite content. Your storytelling has a rare magic that truly resonates, and I’d love to see more of your work. Keep it coming!

[@samuelkolousek8563]

I love the name of that knife! Louis L'Amour is my favorite author. His stories always transport me to another time and place, filled with adventure and grit. There’s something special about the way he captures the spirit of the frontier, much like the way you bring your narratives to life. Keep up the great work!

[@zacinthewild]

Wow, thanks!

[@justinmiilu4767]

Zac, you and Ben are the biggest reason I fell in love with knives. This industry needs people like you and Ben. I say, more knives , more videos, more zac!

[@Tim1768-r5r]

Yonder Fixed Blade 🤩

[@bearhuggz22]

I second this 👌🏽

[@bearhuggz22]

​@@Tim1768-r5r😮 now that's a thought

[@DeanMD77]

Zac from watching your videos, I purchased Education of a Wandering Man, read it, and then bought a copy for my buddy. Later I booked a hiking trip to Southern Utah with my wife and two of my boys. We leave in 2 weeks. Now I’ve purchased your knife to take with me. Please keep the channel going. My favorite are your traveling videos. And thanks.

[@zacinthewild]

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it and hope you enjoy the trip/knife! More vids incoming.

[@ecjmedia]

Love the knife stuff but tbh with this channel I come for the vibes. Zac always evokes positivity and adventurism which are two great things to absorb these days

[@zacinthewild]

Glad it comes through. That’s just who I am😁

[@patrickhibpshman]

Cant agree more! Was fortunate to meet Zac at blade show west and it was definitely a highlight of the trip from Montana! Great dude!

[@Stefanolik]

WE NEED YOU ZACH! Edc world isnt as fun without you 😢 Come back fully, if you can just a video a week or month

[@Lostin2024]

How does this channel not have a million followers? This dude has more personality in his pinky than most people have their whole bodies. More videos please!

[@zacinthewild]

Let’s see if we can get there😁

[@calebthornburg896]

Zac. More designs and more videos. KZbin is a better place with zac in the wild!!!

[@zacinthewild]

I really do love telling stories and talking with you guys!

[@BestDamnEDC]

Miss you, Zac! Glad you're back and grats on the Yonder! It's a good'un!

[@cylentone]

Zac's back! KZbin is not the same without you. It's dozens of new knives a month and shopping links - that's it. You're a storyteller that loves knives - that's why I always come back. Love the Yonder design. The knives of the good YT influencers are turning out to be the best - there have been a few in recent weeks. Best of success with it!

[@jasonpowell3587]

Dude! This community loves and respects you! Can’t get enough. Do it all if you are willing, but most of all do what makes you Happy.

[@luispinsf7538]

Can’t wait to get one! Now we need Jamie to design a knife 😊 Yes, please keep the channel going.

[@2thehat]

I feel like Jamie would be more into designing a multitool, but I could be wrong there.

[@TannerWendellStewart]

We need more Zac in our lives again. The stories, the adventure, the optimism and the philosophy. It’s the best and the world is better with you in it!

[@isaiahbarnett9062]

glad to see you back! nice knife, looks awesome!

[@zacinthewild]

I'm so stoked with how this turned out!

[@Haulovertheplace]

I cried sad tears when you left…. I cried happy tears to see you back. And that’s all I gotta say about that. Come back pls.

[@p.t.benzinger2179]

I miss Zac videos. I've been with him since WOW while at BHQ. This knife community thrived because of Him, Jamie, and Ben. Thank you all.

[@DylanLey]

Congratulations on the knife design Zac! I, like a lot of people, would be stoked to see you do more videos! You had one of the most creative EDC/knife channels on the platform and I would love to see more!

[@zacinthewild]

Thank you so much🙏

[@marcoantonioguarneros3054]

Any guy who starts to view you channel will fall in love of the EDC world, and sure will run to get his first gear pieces. Your videos are the most authentic and realistic glance of what carrying EDC gear means. Come back, man

[@rodionovivan]

Design, that more than just an image, design that have lifetime experience and story behind - we need more of that. Your videos is heartwarmers. We need more of them too

[@auggieedc205]

Couldn't agree more that you should bring your channel back. Like many have said already, we enjoy your content more for vibes and less for gear, the gear is just a nice companion to the folks which is exactly what gear should be. I can safely say you are probably the only EDC content creator that has ever made me change the way I think about life versus any piece of gear. I picked up a Yonder and think I may use it as an inflection point for getting out of the habits of constantly buying/selling/trading gear and spending too much time watching gear reviews and focusing more on my family, life, and our experiences. Hopefully we can all say "welcome back!"

[@bigidesign]

HELL YEAH!! Congrats on the Yonder, best knife design we've seen this year by far!

[@zacinthewild]

Thanks guys!

[@GorggW]

Yes, more from you in any way, we're here for it.

[@danielwasused]

At the start of covid i found knife banter and binged every episode out at that point! One of if not the biggest reasons i fell in love with knifes this hobby and this community was the passion you showed each time you talked about knifes on the bladehq channel! One of my favorite knifes of all time to this day is the 4max scout because of you and im never getting rid of that thing cause its just so much fun. What im trying to say is i and i think everyone else in this community want to see more from you! I loved the worksharpinthewild series! Much love man

[@zacinthewild]

Really means a lot! I still carry and love that 4Max Scout too!

[@tnbczero]

I'm just waiting on the update on my Yonder shipment, but I'm really here for the person and content that got me collecting knives. Zac and Ben literally my favorite in the industry and honestly some of my favorite on youtube.

[@heribertosierraheri]

Congratulations Zac! great work!

[@frankforum-y3s]

This is simply the best KZbin Video of 2024.

[@daneolson3031]

I literally just got into knives a few weeks ago all because of you. I was bummed that you weren’t posting anymore but I couldn’t be more thrilled you’re back!

[@jamesblackard1329]

Yes please. Miss the channel and miss you on blade HQ. Already bought my yonder.

[@zacinthewild]

🙏🙏

[@craig-olsen]

In the (frequent) words of Ben Petersen, “I love it.” Just got my shipping notification from BladeHQ for the Yonder. Congrats on the knife release (and new video content)!

[@zacinthewild]

🙏👊

[@YPEDC]

Imma buy your knife just cause you came back!

[@zacinthewild]

Sounds like a deal!😆 Hope you love it!

@@zacinthewildI legit just gave away one of my last crossbar locks and was looking for a new one. Seems like it’s destiny! 😂💪

[@michaelcawood1217]

I got mine at blade show and I love it! You won’t be disappointed

[@tylerquintero4293]

Zac was the one who sold me on getting my first knife years ago when I was a kid, the compact. It’s helped me appreciate the value a knife can have as a tool as well the value you bring as the guy who’s got scissors or a tweezers. I’ll be getting a yonder as my next knife and looking forward to see whatever else Zac puts out. Safe travels.

[@rizksujaa4532]

Its great to have you back.

[@Tcrowe406]

As soon as I heard you were coming out with a knife I was jacked. I can't wait to get my hands on one. And being a Montana man hearing Ben and Jamie held you hostage in a cabin here is just just to get it out of you is just ICING ON THE CAKE! Congratulations Zac

[@loganjacobina3108]

Zac you inspired me to start designing knives in my free time and inspired me to go adventuring, if you came back to KZbin all of us would love it and more knife designs… HELL YEAH!!!!

[@DylanTatman]

Litterally just finished my 3rd watch-through of Zac’s channel last week. It brought me so much joy to see this at the top of my KZbin page

[@Mo.89.]

Zac your content is some of the most unique and thoughtful EDC content around, the community is so much richer for it! Great video and I truly hope we see more!

[@Gar0nTV]

Welcome back, and yes, as much as you feel like you can make content that fulfills you and your spirit, we will be here to support it. This channel reminds me of conversations between my dear friend who lost his battle to cancer last year. He would have loved this channel, as he was a kindred spirit.

[@zacinthewild]

🙏

[@ZSB_vids]

Just bought mine! So excited to try it out! From one Zak to another, you are a badass! Thank you returning!

[@arbitrarynightjar2788]

My wife just got me one for our anniversary today! I wanted to get the G10 version but the store was out of the G10 and only had one of the micarta left. We went ahead and got the micarta. I'm excited to carry the yonder. Thank you for making the yonder!

[@0pt1tr0nD27]

Of course we want you back. You’ve inspired me so much not just in edc, but in just life in general. You were the one that got me into knives, being prepared, and looking for adventure. You’ve inspired me to take risks, and make stories that I could tell my kinds, and grandkids someday. I’m a cowboy now because your way of thinking and yondering, encouraged me to do the same.

[@zacinthewild]

I love hearing this! Thanks so much for sharing and tuning in👊

[@jesseperkins6383]

Would be cool to hear an audiobook of Education of a Wandering Man narrated by you I am a mail carrier and I listen to audiobooks all day almost every day, and I am always hooked when I hear one narrated by anyone with an actual emotional stake planted in that book. Whether it be by the author, or by someone who was inspired by that book, it always adds depth to the listening experience, automatically

[@brettmillard1338]

When announced the Yonder, I said our was a definite day one purchase for me. Im happy to say I'm patiently waiting for that mail call. Glad to see you back.

[@truthseeker6045]

Finally … the story behind the name . It to be deeper than the surface word, I would have expected nothing less … Now I need to get this book you speak of .

This man is the og and I think I'm speaking for everyone when I say that I'm glad he posted again.

[@waterwoodguitars6871]

Well, well, well. Look who “yondered” back to the interwebs. It’s been a bit since I was genuinely excited about a knife release and I’m legit excited about this one. I’m digging everything about what I’m seeing with this knife. Glad the homies locked you in that cabin and released this upon the world. Happy and safe travels, Zach.

[@pendantblade6361]

I was just rewatching your stuff! Welcome back! 🎉

[@zacinthewild]

Heck yeah! 👊

[@netl1108]

I love your philosophy and id love to see more videos from you. I'm from Australia and been out yonder for 11 months now in Europe. These videos are great reminder that I'm on track in my personal growth and life experience, thank you zac.

[@Bladebroedc]

Hey Zac, you are one of the main people who got me into knives and edc. Thank you, and yes, I would love to see more videos from you. Also, thank you for signing my Yonder and Milwaukee 1505 at blade show west. It really did mean a lot to me.

[@possiblysmorf7059]

I found you after you had left, and loved all the videos, the vibe, the history, and real wisdom, I’ve watched most of your videos at least twice, and hope you stay

[@zacinthewild]

Got more coming for sure😁

[@s.javier]

Everything you mentioned hits all the check boxes of what I've been wanting. You're the man, well thought of, Thanks Zach for thinking of what knife nerds want

[@jmyler]

More content pleeease. I always appreciated how different this channel was than the other in the genre. So bummed when you called it quits.

[@downingg22]

Think i can comfortably speak for a good chunk of us.... We're here for all you do Zac, and genuinely happy for your success. Thanks!

This means so much! More coming🤘

I love simple basic knives that do their jobs well, I have a decent collection that I rotate through including the racoon, elementum, nightshade, vision and Chevalier and this was one of the fastest buys I have ever made. This knife looks perfect!

As someone who started buying knives after watching you on blade hq I am so excited to put this into my edc!

Thanks for coming back! I first discovered your channel on your "goodbye video" and was super bummed. So glad to see you returned.

[@ewakingwood]

Dude, it’s so great to see you back.. you are looking more svelte than ever before! As many have said, you are an inspiration to not just collect knives but get out there and use them and have adventures… your brand of optimism and fun is something I have sorely missed and I’ll pick up a Yonder as soon as I am able! Keep the knife designs and the videos coming and we will keep watching and “playing along at home”, er, I mean, playing along in the woods 😂

[@DangerMccloud]

Zac, I believe that the way you speak about the meaning of life is important for people these days. I really hope that you continue to make videos. Also congratulations on your first knife! Looks great!

[@zacinthewild]

Thanks so much!

[@bunzoreviews8049]

It is so nice to have a video again from Zac. And even better now we have a knife from him. It truly does look like a wonderful knife and my preordered one should be here tomorrow and I can’t wait. It’s great to be able to support this channel. I’ve gotten so much inspiration from watching this channel. So thank you Zac. Hopefully we get a Holiday gift guide again this year.

[@kickingitwithjim8066]

YESSSS i’ve been putting off buying a new folder in anticipation of this. Congratulations Zac can’t wait to get the Yonder in my hands.

[@StephenDavisEDC]

Keep the videos coming please! I'm still pretty new to EDC (got into it within the last eight months or so), and the first video I saw of yours was your farewell video. It was so sad, which makes seeing you recently on your Worksharp tour and seeing this video so great. I can't wait to get my Yonder in the mail (hopefully tomorrow)!

[@Silverdraconicarcher]

Def please continue asking videos, you have such a way with story telling that makes us want to just sit and listen, I’d also love to see some more designs, maybe a fixed blade and a boot knife? But no matter what you end up doing, we all support you and wish you the best. Also, def gonna have to pick up a yonder for those days I just have to leave everything else behind and get lost in nature.

Excellent. I did genuinely miss your videos. Dig edc and you became a part of it. Shall get this knife in the future. Thank you.

[@BlackSheepApologetics]

Pre-ordered the Yonder yesterday. Supposed to arrive on Wednesday. Glad to see you back, Zac. FYI, my granddaddy(RIP) grew up in the Depression. He began ”rambling” at 5 with his 3 year old little brother in tow, hopping trains and what not for days on end until they eventually found their way back home. Your design immediately reminded me of him, the story now fills it out, and I can’t wait to hold it in my hands.

[@zacinthewild]

Such a cool story! Glad the design hits those notes🤘

[@carelesscrab6599]

Just ordered mine! Super excited to check out your first knife design!

[@T0dK0n]

I was bummed when you announced you’d stop doing your KZbin channel a few months back, as you were one of my favorite knife/edc dudes on the platform. Especially because you’re always practical and authentic about it vs. trying to push the latest greatest new thing. But it was also understandable, I’m sure it can be draining and other opportunities present themselves. But if you are considering coming back, I’d def be stoked to see more content! Also congrats on the first knife, it looks pretty sick!

[@robertm8401]

So stoked to see ya back here and still yondering! Congratulations on your knife release🎉

[@jarofaar8618]
