Mike, I’m a firefighter, the easiest way to break one of those windows is a spring loaded punch go down in the bottom corner and it will just shatter
I came here to say this! :)
City of Oakland tested daily.
well then why do I see cops all over the internet trying to break a window with a baton? why dont police carry one of these things?
@@arresthillary9502 Ya can’t take down a suspect with a spring loaded punch, and the tack vest doesn’t have a pocket for it.
@@arresthillary9502Going to take flak fo this but no one said cops are the smartest people on the planet. Try it if you like. The OP is a first responder.
Mike, I mechaniced for 45 years; check owners manual on you "cars" but for 20 years (aporx) the front passenger head rest is removeable and one leg of it is pointed to use to break out if under water. Please pass this on to your followers, I also have one of the tools for that in case I forget and or panic
you could lay a piece of plywood on top of your trailer to stop the chips from blowing out.
Happy Easter to you and your family. I am a retired firefighter. I used spring loaded center punch for breaking car windows. They work great.
What about all your sawdust? I would look into a pellet press mill. If you sold the 40lb bags locally, they would be both a steal and a money maker at $5-$6 a bag. And you get rid of the sawdust.
One of the best uses for wood chips is winter traction. Seriously. People put down salt, but it washes away as it melts the snow and ice, so you end up having to re-apply it regularly. If you put down wood chips, they stay in place, but float up to the top. If you have a thaw and the snow melts a little bit, the wood chips float to the top instead of washing away, and you always have good traction underfoot. Best of all, you don't destroy the landscape with all that winter salt being put into the ground.
This video made me wish I could get my tractor back up and running. That mahindra has been nothing but a nightmare from day one, and adding more to is seems like a bad idea. But a chipper like that would sure be nice around the homestead!
Believe it or not, a barge on the Arkansas River hit a bridge in Sallisaw, Oklahoma yesterday. US Hwy 59 is closed until inspection and repairs (if needed) can be made. Memorial weekend 2004 a barge hit a bridge in Weber Falls, Ok., on interstate 40. Killing 3 and injuring several. It took about 10 or 11 months to open again. Happy Easter, everyone.
Mike, what you need to break a side window of a vehicle is a spring loaded center punch. You push on it at the bottom of the window and when it snaps, the window will just crumble to the ground. I’ve done it and watched it done also at a monster truck show when they get the junk cars ready for the show.
I have purchased several resqme® Car Escape Tool, Seatbelt Cutter / Window Breaker. They are a spring loaded window punch and “letter opener” like seatbelt cutter that goes on a keychain. I have them zip tied to the visor on all of my vehicles, and have given several as gifts because they are so cheap. I’ve been a cop for 20 years and keep one clipped to my vest. It’s come in handy to break a window, open the door, cut the seatbelt, and get someone out in an emergency. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Thank you for another great video!
How do you cut the ziptie holding the tool to your sun visor?
Happy Easter all! Higher sides on the chip receiving box will be needed for sure. Lots of good uses for wood chips around a homestead.
Mike put a 4" hose on the spout of the chipper and run it right into an ibc tote if you have one with the bladder still in it. No mess and easily transferable.
Mike: long-term first responder. The key to popping glass in a vehicle is impacting the CORNER of the glass. Lots of videos of cops beating the center of a window with their baton - unsuccessfully. I carried a spring-loaded center punch in my rescue tool pouch for decades, an never had to use more than one pop and the glass was history. The trick is, lots of pounds in a very tiny area (point), in the most vulnerable spot (corner). No hammer needed. Available in any hardware store.
Use your plastic totes that you have for the wood chips
they can't get moldy though
Happy Easter Morgan Family, the bridge collapse is such a colossal tragedy. Nobody ever wakes up in the morning ever thinking that will be the last day on this earth. Even with the huge cranes they brought in that will be an enormous clean up. Have a great day :)
Happy Easter to the Morgan family and all the followers of this channel.
Happy Resurrection Day!!
He is Risen!!
He has risen indeed.
Mike with that scrap you could build a three-sided long basket rails every 17 in as a chainsaw guide stack all the wood as high as you can as you run the chainsaw along the guide rails the rails will hold the wood from moving you can chainsaw write down through them do a whole pile like that in less time than it takes to load it
Burn the pine out side fire pit
He is risen indeed.
He IS Risen
Happy Easter to the whole Morgan family, God Bless all 🙏
Now we just have to come up with a clever use for all the sawdust!!!!😂😂😂
Carry an automatic center punch in your vehicles. They make breaking the side windows very easy and quick. Happy Easter.
Mike, Melissa, Hunter and all the children and grandchildren, Happy Resurrection Day!
- Chipper / Shredder - Ever since a saw the movie Jaws I’ve never wandered into the ocean over my ankles….Ever since I saw the movie Fargo I’ve feared chipper / shredders.
My question is what happened to the other chipper you had?
@@mrtime1945I think that was it. He said a couple of times that he should have been using it all these years.
I remember that he had one with a direct drive that Melissa used
As a Fargo resident....you can see that Chipper at our visitor center 🙂
@@mrtime1945
In the video he did state this is a shredder he’s had for sometime but never used. He still has the other larger unit as you mentioned but is an over kill for small size scrap.
Great idea for the chipper. Suggestion: You mentioned about building a collection box, how about using the large bags you were looking at in the past for storing/hauling split wood before going back to the tote cages? Just add a short flex tube on the end of the chipper outlet and then into the bag. Fill that puppy up and you have a year supply of chipped wood for your chicken run and whatever.
He is Risen, Happy Easter Sunday…
Almost 2000 years ago in the middle east “the holy land”?
Great video! My take away!: have a flock of chickens originally purchased at TSC "chick days" need something for the outdoor run. Need: wide Bandsaw mill @ $53,000 generally to saw lumber for "a lot" of projects at my property. Kubota mini excavator @ $130,000, kubota lx4020 @ $30,000, Kubota utv @ $17,000, utility trailer @ $2600, chipper @ $3900 plastic scoop shovel @ $45.
Total $236545 or so. Hey! I'm all in on this one! Sign me up!
Happy Easter Morgan family. Back in the late 1990s I was out in western ohio on a Saturday afternoon. I came upon what appeared to be an accident scene in the front yard of someone’s home. This home had a large pond out near the road. As I passed by you could see the rear end of a car submerged in it. An entire family lost their lives in that pond. Mom dad and four kids gone in the blink of an eye. It’s one of those moments in life you never forget. RIP. To those that lost their lives on the bridge collapse.
That's so sad!
Yes it was. It was a sight I’ll never forget.
Hi Wayne!
Good morning David. Happy Easter my friend.
Similar case a few miles from my house....except it was a car full of kids heading to school, a family lost 4 of their kids in one accident....
Mike.. Good Luck with your Game Plan on the Chips.. Your Fire Starter is a Hit, Maybe Chips for a DIY Smoker , Next.. (???)
Good Sunday morning Mike, Melissa and family. Wishing you a happy and blessed Easter. Thank you for all of the great content. Have a great start to your week!
You can use the sawdust in raised gardens. The worms will go crazy. Works great for weed block also. Coffee grounds are a magnet for worms. Put a gopher screen on the bottom of the raised bed. You could sell totes full of chips and sawdust. A wood chip/pellet burner with a hopper and auger feed would store in a hopper to dry and use when needed.
I do still have them plastic containers for the that. You have the cages for the wood chip. Would firewood? If you have any of those plastic tanks you could take and just cut a hole in the side of it, just picking up for your chip. Uh, shoot, go out in it and then leave the top open, but put the air bag on the top. Keep chips from flying out and then you will have one made quickly and we'll have to build it on to your trailer. You can leave it on your schedule and then fill it up with wood chips and then take it over the side.Put your lid back on it and then cover the hole.With something to keep falling out, have a slide in the world or something, and that'll bee quicker than using your trailer.Cause the linux hybrid trailer and you'll have the totes plastic containers
Hi Mike, my advice would be to look at the 1st responder knife from Smith and Wesson. Carried one when I was an operational firefighter in the Uk. It’s a knife, window breaker and seatbelt cutter in one. Seatbelts in modern cars have a pyro charge to tighten the seatbelts when in an impact. Carried this style of knife or similar for years. Never let me down on a RTC incident.
Mike, God forbid any of you ever have an emergency where your lives are in pearl! I am always impressed how with your skills in equipment you make light of those chores moving lumber, logs and stumps. Your manual dexterity with hydraulic controls is amazing. Happy Easter to each of you, thanks for bring so many into your personal lives!
Try looking for a spring loaded tool for breaking your windows. We use them at the fire department for breaking glass.
Good advice about the glass hammer, we carry automatic center punches to do the same thing, just easier to carry
Put a couple pieces of plywood against the front wall and side wall for the chips to blow against. That will make things easier and cleaner then just slide them out when your done.
nice ty
Good morning and watch your show all the time just watching it this morning and the chipper looks like your firewood starter
Those pine wood chips would be great landscaping mulch. Better than what you buy at big box store.
Really nice set up Mike. What amazes me is how the volume of wood is reduced. So many uses too!
The head rests of your vehicle, remove them, they can be used to break your window ….hit your window in the corners ….👍👍
Thanks for the "term" is was appreciated and my suggestion was not "exclusive" but some of the time! Enjoy the channel immensely--thanks!
Happy and Blessed Easter.
yea that is about only way to get out of a submersed vehicle - bust window , for locked vehicle i use the mini airbags to pry window out the unlock the window
Great video. Love your chipper. Quickly makes a useable product from otherwise waste.
Hey Mike. Won't you lay a Torp down there? While that's all dusty is and let it come up on the edge of your underneath. Your sawmill and then lay out and come up with a couple of something on the side. It'll hold it up kind of like guitar player and keep it from getting all over your gravel. And you won't have to worry about it. When you're going to clean it up, it'll just all scoop up releasing because you're on the tarp.
Thank you for the video
Happy Easter Morgan family!!
Just an idea when sawing instead of making that thick slab saw 1 in an set them aside along with ya edgings . On rainy days we bring in a load an cut them all to 12 inches long and then set a table saw up for 3/4 wide cuts . That’s how we produce literally 1000s of bundles of kindling . No more having to get rid of slabs or chipping them . We have a few videos of the process if ya interested .
i keep some 2-1 emergency car escape tool in all my vehicles. its a glass breaker and seat belt cutter. a tool that cost a few bucks could very well save your live
if you square the sides of the slabs you cold use them for siding for a wood shed
An old spark plug will work on windows. I usually keep a couple in the glove box. Cheers
You could also bundle up some slab pieces and sell them in your roadside stand for summer fires
one year I came hime from TX for Christmas and went from 80 degree temps to -20 in the two days of travel. With a snow storm dumping over 2 ft of snow for the last 150 miles on I 81 to NEPA. Woke up in the morning and the passenger side door window was shattered in the driveway. from the cold to my poor ford Bronco II or at the time was the same as the rangers, and explorers, just different rear ends.
Mike: I learned this when I was a fire fighter. You hit the window in the bottom corner. The glass will not flex as much there, thus the window will break,
You could sell the slab wood for furnaces. Nice chipper you have there. Nothing like taking the waste and reusing it for something else. PS: It is cold here in Petawawa, Ontario. Supposed to get snow tonight.
Happy Easter Morgan family!
Aw Sunday mornings with Mike. Love it. Happy Easter everyone.
That looks like good project for when you have to let the kabota regen, chip wood. First project can be build a shed to blow chips into where you can just bucket them out with the tractor when you need them.
That’s actually a really good idea. I wonder if the tractor will let you run the PTO during Regen?
Mike!!! Try the Harbor Freight Spring loaded center punch for glass breaking, $3.50 or so, small and works because of the hardened tip. Good show as always 👍
Great video!
try edging the slab wood for siding . just need to edge both sides , the buyer could mill a ship lap edge them selves
Hi Mike ;). I am sitting here watching you with the chipper going and it's awesome ! The thought comes to my mind that what always drives me nuts is the sawdust coming off the sawmill while you are cutting. I had a thought that if you had a trough that the sawdust dumps in with a feed out of the end into the trailer you are using for the chipper located such that you could back the tractor up and hook up the chipper to it ,then the sawdust would go into the trailer along with the wood chips! Thus reducing the need for clean up of sawdust and adding to the chip product . Just a thought i know lots have said things about the sawdust but just thinking out of the box on this one. Love watching your channel every time you publish it !!! have great day @ John
Red pine in the smoker! Sweet!
Good morning to Hunter 👋👋😸and family and friends 😸 , Happy Easter Sunday everyone 😻😺🙏
Good morning and Happy Easter back!
@@johnsadler8637 / Good morning John ,🙏
Spring loaded center punch is the way to go. You don’t need to swing it. Just push it against the window and it does the trick. Does not work on windshields.
G' morning Mike! Happy Easter!
I took a tip from Sandy (Sawing with Sandy) and have been chipping saw waste in my 6x8 Woodmaxx chipper!
Since I don't have the Shale deposits like you do, and I have been using my chipped scraps on my wooland trails and once they get mixed in with my sticky clay, the trails get solid and stay solid!
Mike couldn’t you use some of those cutoff pieces as siding for enclosing future buildings, maybe 1 or 2 sides of an equipment pavilion? 👍👍
Loved your video today, Mike. You got to love the wood chipper.
hi there trims add up fast .i cut mine in to kindling , good show , Happy Easter and best to all , john
Wish I was closer , I'd take those slabs and the chips off your hands. Hopefully I'll be getting a saw mill of my own soon. I got some great ideas for that waste.
New camera looks great!
Mike, could you show us a camera angle from your point of view using the controls on the mill? Happy Easter to you and your family!
Put the emergency hammer in the center consol and make sure it is the kind with the seat belt cutter on the bottom.
You think of everything. The chipper is a great add on tool to the list of options. I like watching and enjoy your information you provide as you film. Stay safe and keep the dirty side down.,
Good Morning Morgans!
SplitFire makes some great equipment! Thanks for sharing your experiences. Happy Easter!
Throw a couple of the short slabs across the front of the trailer and stop some of the "overspray"
Now that you have a chipper, think of possibilities of making your own Fire Starter 😮 . Just a thought. Hello to Hunter🎉.
Happy Easter all .... he has risen... TGBTG good stuff Mike.
Maybe you could make a hoop frame with a canvas top that you could easily attach/detach? Just a thought.
The wood chips would be great on Melissa's trails.
When showing footage of the excavator sped up, that bucket and thumb looks like it has the movements and dexterity of a human hand. You’ve got skills!
Mike, took delivery of my 2024 F-350 Lariet Ultimate last Thursday. Six weeks from date of order to delivery. 7.3 liter gas with 6.5 foot box. Very nice truck.
that cold wind will cut right through you. happy easter mike
HI Mike, what if you set the slabs together on edge and run the mill two or three times and and bring them down to about 2.5 to 3 inches and then run them through the chipper? You will have more product to chip and less to burn and the end product may look nicer with a little color to it.
Nice Vid!
Always interesting content, Thanks Mike!
You maybe could put that on your garden paths. Or on your new road to the flat clearing.
Mike another excellent piece of work and video from the wood yard 😮😊❤
Happy Easter.
A good Easter to you and your family .
Happy Easter Mike, Melissa, Hunter & family. He is risen Hallelujah.
Nice piece of equipment Mike. Stay safe.
We buy wood chips all the time from UFA we use them for bedding for the chickens
You could keep the hardwood staves from white oak and black locust to make stakes. Cut them in 2', 3', 4', and 6' lengths to sell. Store them in barrels or the like under cover.
For the bigger cut off slabs a tree service might come and use their chipper to grind up those for a trade in taking their stems when they need to offload them in your area…something to think about…I have a used chipper for my tops after I take trees down…for a 10 inch cost me less for a rebuilt used one from Vermeer than a new one.
Happy Easter to the Morgan Family
Happy Easter to the Morgans!
Happy Easter
I see both the sawdust and now the chipper.
What do you use to make your fire starter product without giving away secrets?
Maybe a short video?
Love your content and politics i agree with you 100%
Bob A
😁
Thank God he's Alive. Happy Easter to the Morgan family and community. Loved the video as always. Keepem coming. God bless
If you have shaded spots where its mostly mud and impossible to grow grass. Put down 3-5 inches of those chips, then come back in a year and put down clover seed. The clover will do awesome (they don't need nitrogen, they just need a decently healthy soil - the woodchips condition the soil over a year by covering the mud / feeding soil life). works great along tree lines to suppress weeds / promote tree growth (like redbud and dogwood)
Happy Easter Morgans!!. Still loving our 2 new mugs...
