Hey all, thank you so much for watching. My apologies for the blown out lighting (blame it on the cell phone camera). Good news is that the next video will be shot with a better camera. Thanks for putting up with it this one time. - Mike
I can’t imagine how hard all this must be on you, you gave everything up to build the ranch up and now you have to walk away and leave it. You’re brave Mike and you will do well !! Will be watching your journey moving forward.
I started owning cattle when the channel started, my heart brakes for Mike Erin and the whole family, I couldn't imagine separating my family and stepping away from the cattle....
I just want you to know Mike that you & the kiddos are in My PRAYERS... HUGE PRAYERS that You will be able to close on the house you are hoping for... You put ALOT of work into the ranch with Rebuilding & Growing it into a fantastic fun farm & now having to walk away... I PRAY You find Peace & Comfort in Your New job... I still keep shaking my head in disbelief... You are AMAZING & You will recover... Hugs & Blessings Always 🙏💙💖💖💙✝️🤗
Prayers for you & your kids. Ive been a long time follower of OWL and will continue following you here.may god bless you and keep you @@BeyondtheRanch
This South Carolina guy loves a good hat Mike. I know you said watching the other channel helps but unfortunately I can’t at this time. You are who I know and have had the pleasure of listening to over the years. I do wish them the best over there but honestly just prefer to follow you.
Im so glad others share my feelings on this, and i agree 100% with yall!!! I understand the kids will benefit from OWL support, but they will also benefit from BTR!!
Your channel was a source of comfort for me for years, I hope in some small way we can give back by watching/supporting you now. Glad to see your doing as well as you can!
You turned a farm that was going bankrupt into a gold mine, now you will take this business to its best potential. When you on board everything gets bigger and better I will support and follow you to my last breath. I am a senior old woman with sometimes can see to a person, and I see that you’re a good man and honest person who just got railroaded, God bless you you have my support
Thank you, Mike, for your positive attitude and loving viewpoint. Praying for you and your kiddos and looking forward to your future content. Can’t wait to hear if you get the house that you want.❤️
Mike, we don’t care about the quality of the video or audio. We’re just glad you’re making videos so we can see you and know you’re doing ok and moving on with life.
I’ve been a fan of OWL for years. The reason was you Mike! You made the channel what it is today. Sucks to hear about your divorce. I know the Channel was not about the fans…but man it’s heartbreaking to see it go on without you. I will support BTR Mike! It will take some time to adjust not seeing you around the animals from the ranch. The ranch was you Mike! Thank you for all the work and content you provided to the fans of the channel over the last eight years. 👊
I would love to say I'll support the Our Wyoming Life channel, not sure I can. You were that channel, the one we bonded with alonside all the animals and the kiddos. Erin wasn't involved much in the online side so we didn't really bond with her. I've tried watching, but it's not the same so I'm taking a break. For you and the kiddos, I'll try again soon, just not right now. We're all having to heal from the big change and wishing you both the best. But I'm watching this channel and leaning into whatever you have to bring us. ❤
Don't know the details of what happened, who gave up, but Mike I am following you, I didn't agree with what went down with the in-laws selling off ground and to be honest I kinda stopped watching the channel after that, but my feelings are not the important thing, I wish you nothing but the best in this new chapter, and I pray the kids are not effected.
Mike, I know that you want to support Our Wyoming Life, but you were the face of it. I don't disrespect people and I know you want nothing but the best for the ranch. I watched because of you and your experiences. It just won't be the same without you. Best of luck buddy. From a fellow Gillette resident.
You’re so generous of heart-to continue to support Erin without bitterness. I realize she’s your kids’ mom and you’ll always do what’s best for them. I wish you the best in your future. I hope the next time we hear from you’ll have good news on the purchase of a house. 😊
Mike, I raised two teenage daughters as a single parent. For years, every time that I've watched Erin, I have had flashbacks of those snarky years. At least my daughters grew out of it. You know, in marketing, you have to give something of value to get the customer. YOU are the value to your endeavors.
Mike, I'm searching for the right words. I've watched you for years. You are the face and soul of the ranch and I am so sorry to see this happen to you, Erin and the kids. Fifteen years is a long time to leave the thing you've worked so hard to build. When one door closes, another one opens. I wish the very best for you and your new life. 🥰
Im so happy you've decided to continue with BTR!! Your voice has always had a personal, soothing sound to me, loved watching you while going through my cancer battle! Keep up the good work Mike, and I'm rooting for you and those beautiful children! Oh and Bean!!! ❤
Me too. I was recently diagnosed July 2023. I choose to put my illness in God's hands instead of getting the chemo and radiation. They told me I had a few months with out chemo and or radiation and it was inoperable. It is in my right lung 2 tumors. Here it is 8 months later and I am still kicking
Glad to see a new video. However I can not watch owl without you it is not the same. If was having a bad day could always go to your channel and listen and watch the videos to calm me.
Mike please don’t apologize for the poor picture or audio. Better gear will come. We follow the channel because of you. I’m reliving some unpleasant memories as I watch. I, like so many have been where you are and came out the other side to a happy life. It’s tough, but you will overcome and we will be there for you. Keep your head up!!
Mike, I've been watching your channel for about 3 yrs now and am more comfortable watching your channel. I will probably watch a few videos from Erin's channel, but she really wasn't a staple on the other channel. I stand behind you 100% and as long as you continue to put out video's I prefer to watch your channel. I do believe you will keep a great deal of your followers from Our Wyoming Life, because you are who we have gotten to know. I wish you all the luck on your new journeys. It must be quite a shock to have to go through what your going through. At this time however I do not know if I can support Our Wyoming Life at this time. Wishing you the best of luck and my continued support.
Supporting Erin is supporting Mike too. There are 3 kids involved with this and watching both channels is helping them all. Only Mike and Erin know what went on behind those walls so don't be so bitter toward Erin.
Happy to help with a comment! Really like to see all the OWL co-stars - the animals. And I hope yhe financing comes through, although I HATE split foyer houses. Walking into a stairwell? Ugh!
Mike your looking good you have a spring back in yourself i loved the way you spoke and asked to support Erin and Erin spoke about you its called Respect to both what ever road is ahead God bless ye both and kids
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me. I have been watching you for years I have even got advice for my own farm for your videos, I think we will all miss exploring the ranch life with you. My happiest times are with my son and working the cattle. We enjoyed watching you do the same and are now looking forward to what comes next for you.
Mike, I’ve enjoyed your channel for years and respect the way you went about your business and caring for all the animals on the ranch. Several of my family members have moved to this channel to help support you and your new adventures in life. My prayers are for you and your kids. Please continue with videos/updates as you can. Blessings my friend.
My husband and I wish you the very best, Mike. We are extremely happy that you're still on UA-cam; we love your videos and your presence in front of the camera. Keep your chin up - life is a highway. :)
Thanks for the update, Mike! I know this is a difficult time for you and your family so we appreciate you sharing with us your successes and challenges. Hang in there my friend.!
Mike, good to see you. I know you are dealing with a lot right now and we will be here to help in any way we can. Maybe as soon as you get your camera in, start making really frequent content, even if it is short, here is how the day went, I feel sad today, and what’s for diner is whiskey. Lol. That way we can all watch and get your views up so you will go up in the algo. I also think you should do 30 in 30 still. Not the cows of course but of you. In April if you can swing it, or May. You can tour us through Gillette and the countryside. Just whatever so we can get some income rolling in for the channel.
OWL was our first taste of Wyoming life as we anticipated a move there just a year and a week ago. Its how my husband and daughter bond over our new adventure here and they've learned so much. He was even wondering if he should offer up some JD electrical help! Then, We were so excited when we saw you at a county musical event and could see things weren't right for you to meet some fans. So, just know some now locals are rooting for you all and the best that can be! And we'd surely rock a local company hat!
Howdy Mike, I have questions that I'm not going to ask,I'd just prefer to watch you prosper and find a home that makes you and the kids happy🤗. JO JO IN VT 💞
I am watching both channels. So often one only gets one side of a family split, to watch each of you both find your own way and adjust to single parenthood will be interesting. I appreciate the view of being adults and doing things amicably for the best for your children. My daughter went through an ugly separation and it wasn’t easy for the boys. Only after a few years are things improving. I must say that I miss seeing you in your cowboy hat
I just keep thinking how your late father-in-law must be turning in his grave, same way I thought that when Erin's mom sold off part of the ranch. God bless ya Mike.
Hi Mike…. First of all I want to say you are looking much better..more uplifted…. I think your job fits you well…And I love the store and the Cenex fuel.. I really like the house…big backyard..nice frontage…just a super nice house…Fingers crossed you get it….So happy to see you again….Take care and see you in the next video..
You and your Kiddos are in my thoughts and prayers, Mike!! Wishing you all God's BEST in this new adventure!!! 🥰🥰🥰 P.S. I'm sure we ALL will miss having you romping with Bean and all the livestock. WE support YOU!!!
Having been diagnosed with cancer at the end of July 2023 I was told I have months to live. I was looking forward to the 30 and 30. That was my most favorite part of the channel. Mike just has that ability to attract viewers. I am sad what has happened. I am banking on Mike to be the stability that the kids will need more than ever. I loved the way he and Grace were working together on things around on the ranch. He brought her out of her shell.
It seems strange but after watching you on OWL for so many years we’re all so moved by your situation. You truly were the reason we began following the channel…what’s Mike up to today! But before we knew it we were checking in to see how Bambi was doing, any new calves today, is Jeff back yet, how are the kids , did Ethyl have her baby, etc. We found ourselves somehow feeling like part of the ranch. We are truly sorry for your troubles and wish you all the very best. We will continue to watch both channels as much as we can.
Hey Mike maybe Jeff can come back and offer up some carpenter skills to finish off that basement. Hang in there and remember nothing is more Important than those kids.
Glad to see you moving forward. Can’t wait to follow the journey with you. Growing up farming I loved the ranch videos but it was your personality that kept me coming back for more. It truly is like hanging out with a friend. Take care.
Mike stay strong and keep living your children will still need you even after their grown. Trust me mine is 24 going on 25 and calls me for advice and other things all the time.
So glad you are still with us Mike. I feel like you are a part of my family and I look forward to seeing your next video. I don’t know why, but when I watch your videos I feel calm and reassured that everything is going to be okay. I need your positivity in my life. I hope I can be here for you also. God Bless
@@BeyondtheRanch YES! Beyond the Ranch makes perfect sense! I am sending positive vibes your way. Hope you can buy that cool house for you, Kenzie, Grace, Lincoln and Bean! ❤ 🏠
Wonderful seeing you. I’m happy you had marketing to fall back on. This job/career will be less taxing on your body even though you loved working with your animals. Get a small fan to put on you. That’s what I have. Don’t lose too much weight. Take care and we love you🙏💕🇺🇸
I’m wishing you the best, Mike. I have learned to stand up and go forward after everything has abruptly changed in my own life. Give yourself some space and credit for who you are and what you have achieved in your life. An airman always perseveres!
Nuts! My wife left me 40 years ago for no good reason. I'm much better off now. My kids are in their 40s and I am 76. Go figure. Hang in there. It will get better. Cheers.
I remember the first video, I “heard”. I have no idea what the video was about or shown! But your “voice” caused me to sit up and pay attention. You were given a gift, when they handed out voices and heart - keep using them for good. ❤
You are the one that made the other channel and the driving force on the ranch. I will be standing behind you and supporting this channel. Best of luck in future endeavors ❤ I would be proud to wear a new hat!
Good to see you with a new video! I'm glad you've got a new job that your past experience should help you with working with similar clients. I hope you continue to do well. I'm praying you get a loan for a new house. I hope you get a credit union loan or maybe a military loan. You deserve to find a great house for you and your kids. Keep putting one front in front of the other. You got this! I've been watching older videos when I can. I hope this helps with your UA-cam dividends!! May God continue to bless you!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love the new tune for the channel! You definitely will excel in anything you do Mike! Happy to see you two are still pressing on and staying amicable. Best for everyone! Can't wait to see where this new journey takes you!
Who would have thought that the BTR channel would truly become Beyond The Ranch. Hat or no hat, I'm looking forward to see how you grow the channel and the potential side ventures promoting the area.
Might sound silly...but I was heartbroken when you announced that you were getting a divorce. I am so proud to see you are making great steps as you begin a new adventure. Sending you lots of good energy and prayers for you and your family. You were amazing on OWL, and I am sure you will be equally amazing on BTR!
Dear Mike, from the Netherlands (Europe), we wish you all the best in these difficult times. a cowboy hat looked better on you and also suited your new job.
I dont need a hat, but i just wanted to pop on and say how happy i am to see you and know you're doing ok. There is a house out there for you, even if it isnt this one, but I have my fingers crossed for you!
May we ask questions? Not too personal. Did you get a new car? I’m so excited you are back. I never missed any of your OWL posts. That store is so nice. Wish it was close to me …North Texas. Hope to see you back soon.
Hey Jeff, We are sitting at $3.44 a gallon in our part of Minnesota. Jeff, I have really enjoyed your video tours of the San Francisco area! My husband was born at the Lettermen Army Hospital, The Presidio in 1955. He and his parents lived in Sausalito while his Dad was stationed at Fort Baker! I ❤ San Francisco! Our son is a Master Sergeant in the USAF. He was stationed at Travis AFB back in 2003-2005. I Love Mike's new moto~~~ "Enjoy Life~~~ Beyond the Ranch!" 🇺🇸
My wife said it looks like you work at tractor supply when she heard the baby chicks.Good to see you moving ahead and just keep pulling that plow.Keep living.
You are a natural at doing this Mike. I think it's fantastic that you can stay close to your kids. You were the reason i watched the other channel for years. Have no interest watching the old channel now . I can see horses and goats on 100 other channels. But can only catch your creativity here.
I can only follow y'all in good conscience. I was never an Erin fan from the beginning many years & many screen names [on my part] later! I am glad you're still making videos & blessing us all with your time! Honestly, after going through a similar situation that had me leaving my hometown in ID, and moving to California for about 7 years. I HATED it at first but the adventures I had made up for having leaving every thing & everyone I had ever known. It was a crazy situation I left behind!! 🤠 Remember the best revenge is to LIVE WELL! 💜
Mike. My wife Conni and I have been watching you from the beginning. I was a big hunter on Collin’s ranch. I have recently been diagnosed with brain cancer and quickly had to relocate from Denver to Alabama. My house in deer trail. I miss Gillette cause #1 my company flys there and #2. I’ve hunted with rawhide-creek outfitters. Good luck to you both. I’ve been wanting to come up and work with you on the ranch before I got cancer. We have a channel as well. CRMK Ranch. I don’t have much but also operate a much smaller operation. I’d love a hat because people around here don’t know what country Wyoming is. LOL
Good seeing you Mike and you seem in Good spirits. Our prayers for a successful purchase of the house to help stabilize your life and the family. God Bless
You will be just fine, Mike, but it will take time. I've watched you for years, and realize a guy who comes from the corporate world to the ranching business, and makes a success of it, can do anything to which he puts his mind. You are the real deal; it's too bad you're out after everything you have done for the ranch, but such is life. As far as your old channel is concerned, I have unsubscribed from it. I cannot bring myself to watch it. I wish Erin well, but that channel is no longer for me. I will be keeping an eye on the number of subscribers to your new channel, and hope it increases quickly. Good luck to you, sir.
Cool I would love to get a hat. Maybe I will get the luck of st patties day!!! Have a get day!! Love the new office. And life goes on!!! Take care Nancy
Hey all, thank you so much for watching. My apologies for the blown out lighting (blame it on the cell phone camera). Good news is that the next video will be shot with a better camera. Thanks for putting up with it this one time. - Mike
We don’t mind at all. Appreciate the update, glad your doing well.
No need to apologise...it's not easy starting over..it's good to have the opportunity to see how life is going for you...good luck...
I was just happy to hear from you - no apologies needed! ❤️
Keep up the Hustle!!!
Love seeing you “any”way
I can’t imagine how hard all this must be on you, you gave everything up to build the ranch up and now you have to walk away and leave it. You’re brave Mike and you will do well !! Will be watching your journey moving forward.
Thanks Lauren.
I started owning cattle when the channel started, my heart brakes for Mike Erin and the whole family, I couldn't imagine separating my family and stepping away from the cattle....
I just want you to know Mike that you & the kiddos are in My PRAYERS...
HUGE PRAYERS that You will be able to close on the house you are hoping for... You put ALOT of work into the ranch with Rebuilding & Growing it into a fantastic fun farm & now having to walk away...
I PRAY You find Peace & Comfort in Your New job...
I still keep shaking my head in disbelief...
You are AMAZING & You will recover...
Hugs & Blessings Always 🙏💙💖💖💙✝️🤗
Prayers for you & your kids. Ive been a long time follower of OWL and will continue following you here.may god bless you and keep you @@BeyondtheRanch
Best of luck.
Thanks Mike! Use this towards your new studio! Future is bright! Jen and I will be here!
Bro I’m dead😂

This South Carolina guy loves a good hat Mike. I know you said watching the other channel helps but unfortunately I can’t at this time. You are who I know and have had the pleasure of listening to over the years. I do wish them the best over there but honestly just prefer to follow you.
This SC gal is totally with you on that.
South Dakota man agrees with you sir!
Same with this girl!
This RI gal also agrees.
Im so glad others share my feelings on this, and i agree 100% with yall!!! I understand the kids will benefit from OWL support, but they will also benefit from BTR!!
Your channel was a source of comfort for me for years, I hope in some small way we can give back by watching/supporting you now. Glad to see your doing as well as you can!
Thanks.
@@BeyondtheRanch LOVE YOU MIKE!!
You turned a farm that was going bankrupt into a gold mine, now you will take this business to its best potential. When you on board everything gets bigger and better I will support and follow you to my last breath. I am a senior old woman with sometimes can see to a person, and I see that you’re a good man and honest person who just got railroaded, God bless you you have my support
You are very gracious despite a challenging situation.
Thanks, I will always attempt to be, and if not no video!
I came here to say the same thing, good solid man...
Thank you, Mike, for your positive attitude and loving viewpoint. Praying for you and your kiddos and looking forward to your future content. Can’t wait to hear if you get the house that you want.❤️
Mike, we don’t care about the quality of the video or audio. We’re just glad you’re making videos so we can see you and know you’re doing ok and moving on with life.
How prophetic the name of this channel has become!
Yeah, Who'd have though.

@@JustMe-vi8nxMike got the shaft, he saved the farm for Gilbert period. He's probably rolling over in his grave, that place is more mikes than Erin's
Just found out today watched but honestly won't continue not one video has she addressed the issue
Mike your looking good you have a spring back in yourself i loved the way you spoke and asked to support Erin and Erin spoke about you its called Respect to both what ever road is ahead God bless ye both and kids
MIKE HOPE YOU WLL FIND SUIABLE HOUSE VERY SOON LOTS AND LOTS & LOTS OF GOOD LUCK GOD BLESS YOU
How about some sort of fun raising. Mike has been in most of our lives and we need to let him know we are behind him.
Sounds like a great idea!
Amazon wish list would alsp be good, he has a whole house to fill soon
I don’t think he needs hand outs but whatever
Americans want to support the farmers and ranchers. Thank you Mike for your hard work, looking towards the future with you.
Best of luck Mike. I'll miss seeing you with all the animals and how you cared for them, and I'll miss Bean and Bambi.
Happy to see you doing well Mike ! Wishing you alot of luck .
Thank you Adam.
Mike, I am so proud of you!!!!!!! Tough times, but I love that you are taking the high road. Congrats. man.
Happy to see you again.

Mike, I’ve enjoyed your channel for years and respect the way you went about your business and caring for all the animals on the ranch. Several of my family members have moved to this channel to help support you and your new adventures in life. My prayers are for you and your kids. Please continue with videos/updates as you can. Blessings my friend.
Love your new office. So happy you are back doing videos. Good luck. I hope you get the house.
Thanks for watching @molcan73.

Much appreciated!
What a source of comfort you are for us
Thanks for the update, Mike! I know this is a difficult time for you and your family so we appreciate you sharing with us your successes and challenges. Hang in there my friend.!
Mike, I enjoy your videos and your attitude. Good luck house hunting.
Its nice to see that Mike can still use all the knowledge and experience hes gained and that hes alright
My wife says you are innovative. Your positive outlook will lead you, and family to success.
Appreciate you keeping it real Mike, sending good vibes your way!
I appreciate that, Thanks!
Love you Mike hugs to the kids from a old granny in northern cailf ..wishing and praying u get your new place
Mike, good to see you. I know you are dealing with a lot right now and we will be here to help in any way we can. Maybe as soon as you get your camera in, start making really frequent content, even if it is short, here is how the day went, I feel sad today, and what’s for diner is whiskey. Lol. That way we can all watch and get your views up so you will go up in the algo. I also think you should do 30 in 30 still. Not the cows of course but of you. In April if you can swing it, or May. You can tour us through Gillette and the countryside. Just whatever so we can get some income rolling in for the channel.
Thanks for the ideas Rena.

I am watching both channels. So often one only gets one side of a family split, to watch each of you both find your own way and adjust to single parenthood will be interesting. I appreciate the view of being adults and doing things amicably for the best for your children. My daughter went through an ugly separation and it wasn’t easy for the boys. Only after a few years are things improving. I must say that I miss seeing you in your cowboy hat
I just keep thinking how your late father-in-law must be turning in his grave, same way I thought that when Erin's mom sold off part of the ranch. God bless ya Mike.
Hi Mike. I want to let you know that there are many people out there that will help and support all of you. Have a great day.
Thanks, you too!
Hi Mike…. First of all I want to say you are looking much better..more uplifted…. I think your job fits you well…And I love the store and the Cenex fuel.. I really like the house…big backyard..nice frontage…just a super nice house…Fingers crossed you get it….So happy to see you again….Take care and see you in the next video..
Thanks for watching.
You and your Kiddos are in my thoughts and prayers, Mike!! Wishing you all God's BEST in this new adventure!!! 🥰🥰🥰 P.S. I'm sure we ALL will miss having you romping with Bean and all the livestock. WE support YOU!!!
Last year 30 and 30 was such a happy period of my life, since I lost my family. Thankyou mike for such good moments.
Having been diagnosed with cancer at the end of July 2023 I was told I have months to live. I was looking forward to the 30 and 30. That was my most favorite part of the channel. Mike just has that ability to attract viewers. I am sad what has happened. I am banking on Mike to be the stability that the kids will need more than ever. I loved the way he and Grace were working together on things around on the ranch. He brought her out of her shell.
My Dad and I are happy to see you. Your decision to have a positive attitude is great!!!! 😊😊
So grateful that you're continuing work in the farming industry. I think you have found a great home at the Co-op. Continued success. Bless.
You gonna do good Mike. Success is coming. Pray for you. Navajo Nation support you. Creator 💫 may be with you and the kids.
We are here for you Mike. Get busy living.
It seems strange but after watching you on OWL for so many years we’re all so moved by your situation. You truly were the reason we began following the channel…what’s Mike up to today! But before we knew it we were checking in to see how Bambi was doing, any new calves today, is Jeff back yet, how are the kids , did Ethyl have her baby, etc. We found ourselves somehow feeling like part of the ranch. We are truly sorry for your troubles and wish you all the very best. We will continue to watch both channels as much as we can.
So happy to hear your voice & see another of your videos...YAY!!
It's sad to not see you on the ranch, but can't wait to join you on your new adventure in life. It should be exciting! ❤
Thanks for watching Jeannette.
Hey Mike maybe Jeff can come back and offer up some carpenter skills to finish off that basement. Hang in there and remember nothing is more Important than those kids.
Well said! 10-4! Having Jeff back would be great and yes he could remodel that basement!
Great idea!
You’re a good guy Mike! We look forward to your new adventures!
Have a great week, Mike! Good luck on the house! 🤞🏻
Good luck with the house and the road ahead. God bless you, Mike.
Thank you Alfred.
Bless your heart Mike we think of you everyday and hope that God will bless you can't wait to become your patreon
It’s good to see you again: I’m looking forward to the New Wyoming Life!
Yes you need a new camera! I will watch no mater what, you always make everything so interesting. Thanks from a old woman in southern Illinois.
Thanks
Glad to see you moving forward. Can’t wait to follow the journey with you. Growing up farming I loved the ranch videos but it was your personality that kept me coming back for more. It truly is like hanging out with a friend. Take care.
Mike stay strong and keep living your children will still need you even after their grown. Trust me mine is 24 going on 25 and calls me for advice and other things all the time.
So glad you are still with us Mike. I feel like you are a part of my family and I look forward to seeing your next video. I don’t know why, but when I watch your videos I feel calm and reassured that everything is going to be okay. I need your positivity in my life. I hope I can be here for you also. God Bless
Hey Mr Mike - “Beyond The Ranch” was kinda prophetic. I am so happy you landed on your feet! 🇺🇸❤️
Thank you!
@@BeyondtheRanch YES! Beyond the Ranch makes perfect sense! I am sending positive vibes your way. Hope you can buy that cool house for you, Kenzie, Grace, Lincoln and Bean!
❤ 🏠
Hi Mr Mike glad to see you again I hope you get your house how are you doing most important is the kids keep your head up
I sure miss seeing you but glad you have this channel. I felt like it was a relative that got divorced! I hope everyone is doing well.
Wonderful seeing you. I’m happy you had marketing to fall back on. This job/career will be less taxing on your body even though you loved working with your animals. Get a small fan to put on you. That’s what I have. Don’t lose too much weight. Take care and we love you🙏💕🇺🇸
The adjustment from Ranching to Marketing will take some getting use to. LOL
But you can do this. @@BeyondtheRanch
I’m wishing you the best, Mike. I have learned to stand up and go forward after everything has abruptly changed in my own life. Give yourself some space and credit for who you are and what you have achieved in your life. An airman always perseveres!
You can say that again! 🇺🇸
Nuts! My wife left me 40 years ago for no good reason. I'm much better off now. My kids are in their 40s and I am 76. Go figure. Hang in there. It will get better. Cheers.
Good to see you Mike!
I remember the first video, I “heard”. I have no idea what the video was about or shown! But your “voice” caused me to sit up and pay attention. You were given a gift, when they handed out voices and heart - keep using them for good. ❤
All that ranch work certainly gives you street cred in your new job. You put the videos out, we’ll be watching.
You are the one that made the other channel and the driving force on the ranch. I will be standing behind you and supporting this channel. Best of luck in future endeavors ❤ I would be proud to wear a new hat!
Good to see you with a new video! I'm glad you've got a new job that your past experience should help you with working with similar clients. I hope you continue to do well. I'm praying you get a loan for a new house. I hope you get a credit union loan or maybe a military loan. You deserve to find a great house for you and your kids. Keep putting one front in front of the other. You got this! I've been watching older videos when I can. I hope this helps with your UA-cam dividends!! May God continue to bless you!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love the new tune for the channel! You definitely will excel in anything you do Mike! Happy to see you two are still pressing on and staying amicable. Best for everyone! Can't wait to see where this new journey takes you!
I am looking forward to following you on this new venture. As long as it is Wyoming and ranching I am with you. You are a great man.
Who would have thought that the BTR channel would truly become Beyond The Ranch. Hat or no hat, I'm looking forward to see how you grow the channel and the potential side ventures promoting the area.
Might sound silly...but I was heartbroken when you announced that you were getting a divorce. I am so proud to see you are making great steps as you begin a new adventure. Sending you lots of good energy and prayers for you and your family. You were amazing on OWL, and I am sure you will be equally amazing on BTR!
Thank you Cathy.
Dear Mike, from the Netherlands (Europe), we wish you all the best in these difficult times.
a cowboy hat looked better on you and also suited your new job.
I dont need a hat, but i just wanted to pop on and say how happy i am to see you and know you're doing ok. There is a house out there for you, even if it isnt this one, but I have my fingers crossed for you!
May we ask questions? Not too personal. Did you get a new car? I’m so excited you are back. I never missed any of your OWL posts. That store is so nice. Wish it was close to me …North Texas. Hope to see you back soon.
I did! Erin needed the ranch truck to ranch with so it left me without a vehicle
@@BeyondtheRanch Too bad you had sold that sports car you had! haha
Take care of yourself, and hope you get your house!!
OMG those gas prices. We're back up toward $5.00/gallon out here on the left coast.
Dang Jeff. I have a room for you
@@BeyondtheRanch We are at $3.44 a gallon in our part of Minnesota. But, it definitely could be worse! ⛽️
Hey Jeff, We are sitting at $3.44 a gallon in our part of Minnesota. Jeff, I have really enjoyed your video tours of the San Francisco area! My husband was born at the Lettermen Army Hospital, The Presidio in 1955. He and his parents lived in Sausalito while his Dad was stationed at Fort Baker! I ❤ San Francisco! Our son is a Master Sergeant in the USAF. He was stationed at Travis AFB back in 2003-2005. I Love Mike's new moto~~~ "Enjoy Life~~~ Beyond the Ranch!" 🇺🇸
Hey Jeff, stay out of Canada then, were running at $6.36 a gallon here and it will spike April 1st when the gov't carbon tax increases 23%.
California is preparing to add an additional $1.12 tax per gallon. We're screwed.
My wife said it looks like you work at tractor supply when she heard the baby chicks.Good to see you moving ahead and just keep pulling that plow.Keep living.
You are a natural at doing this Mike. I think it's fantastic that you can stay close to your kids. You were the reason i watched the other channel for years. Have no interest watching the old channel now . I can see horses and goats on 100 other channels. But can only catch your creativity here.
I absolutely agree 👍
I appreciate that
Hope in the future you can find a small ranchet, hobby farm for the kids and for yourself. Those animals help so much for mental health. ❤
I can only follow y'all in good conscience. I was never an Erin fan from the beginning many years & many screen names [on my part] later! I am glad you're still making videos & blessing us all with your time! Honestly, after going through a similar situation that had me leaving my hometown in ID, and moving to California for about 7 years. I HATED it at first but the adventures I had made up for having leaving every thing & everyone I had ever known. It was a crazy situation I left behind!! 🤠 Remember the best revenge is to LIVE WELL! 💜
Mike. My wife Conni and I have been watching you from the beginning. I was a big hunter on Collin’s ranch. I have recently been diagnosed with brain cancer and quickly had to relocate from Denver to Alabama. My house in deer trail.
I miss Gillette cause #1 my company flys there and #2. I’ve hunted with rawhide-creek outfitters. Good luck to you both. I’ve been wanting to come up and work with you on the ranch before I got cancer. We have a channel as well. CRMK Ranch. I don’t have much but also operate a much smaller operation.
I’d love a hat because people around here don’t know what country Wyoming is. LOL
Good seeing you Mike and you seem in Good spirits.
Our prayers for a successful purchase of the house to help stabilize your life and the family.
God Bless
Thanks so much
You got this Mike! You're a winner! God bless you! That house is yours for the taking!
You will be just fine, Mike, but it will take time. I've watched you for years, and realize a guy who comes from the corporate world to the ranching business, and makes a success of it, can do anything to which he puts his mind. You are the real deal; it's too bad you're out after everything you have done for the ranch, but such is life. As far as your old channel is concerned, I have unsubscribed from it. I cannot bring myself to watch it. I wish Erin well, but that channel is no longer for me. I will be keeping an eye on the number of subscribers to your new channel, and hope it increases quickly. Good luck to you, sir.
Good Morning Mike Wishing you lots and lots of good luck
You will DEFINITELY do well in whatever you do Mike!
Cool I would love to get a hat. Maybe I will get the luck of st patties day!!! Have a get day!! Love the new office. And life goes on!!! Take care Nancy
Hi Mike glad to see you
Thanks for being here Jackie.
So good to see you!
