Terry L. Castor from west central Indiana here. I've been watching for about a year and a half; shortly after the RK tractors showed up. I have watched all the back videos from day 1as well. I have a Stihl 028 Super Wood Boss that I bought new in 1989 when we lived in IL and burned wood for heat. I had to have the carburetor rebuilt about 2 years ago and I just recently bought a new 16" bar for it. This little saw has been nothing but bullet proof. It can sit in the case for years and still fire off on 3 or 4 pulls. When we lived in IL, it was in the woods every Saturday in the Fall and Winter for 8 years. Never a misfire. Probably the best purchase I have made in my lifetime. I'll pass it down to my son when the time comes. Hopefully he will realize the jewel that it is. Always a time to smile when I can watch Outdoors with the Morgans! Hi Hunter! Hang in there, buddy. Burger King has your back!
I can’t remember exactly when I found you. Maybe fall 2018. About a year earlier, I was looking for videos on felling timber, which was my introduction to the larger UA-cam video library. I think I saw some of yours then but the sawmill was just a curiosity for me. Then I started working on my pole barn salvage and restoration projects on our farm in the western Ozarks I moved off of the timber videos. By fall 2018, I cycled back into felling trees and timber operations and started watching you all regularly. You’ve taught me a lot! Thanks for letting us see into your lives. It’s really helpful these days.
Hi Mike and Melissa. I have been watching since early 300's. I'm from Princess Anne, Md. I have a Stihl 011 which is over 35 years old and still going strong. My roots are from Altoona and still have relatives there. My cousins run Bennetti Tree Service in Altoona. LOVE your channel and have several similar interests. Very refreshing to hear and see like minded folks. I'm impressed that I actually figured out how to comment. I'm a bit challenged with social media! Have a day!!
Started watching the Fall of 19. Splitting wood reminded me of the time spent with my Father in Law cutting and splitting wood. He built his own Log Splitter (Typical Farmer). Had a side lift on it also. Used the wood to head the boiler for hot water heat in the house. Yes the old Stihl's are great. A friend of mine has a tree service and I spent many a hour in the summer helping. Always enjoyed listening to the 36 idling with the clang of the dry clutch. Sounds like a Ducati idling. Keep the Videos coming. I'm a Sod Buster from Southern Minnesota.
Mark from west central Missouri. In late September 2017 I purchased a 1972 Ford 3000 tractor to use for fire wording and general maintenance around my 40 acre property. Shortly thereafter I was searching the internet for ideas on building a three point carryall, which led me to OWTM #20. Wasn't long before I had watched all previous videos, and I've been with you ever since!
Hi Mike and Melissa, I started watching your channel last year. I enjoy each episode. I live in the township that surrounds LaGrange Ohio. There is farmland for about a mile behind us. We only have 1.3 acres but, it is enough now that I am in my 70's. Talking about the virus. Our oldest granddaughter (age 25) had ordered us to not go anywhere. Kids sure bossy these days. We love her anyway. Have a great day.
I purchased a 37 HP utility tractor in September 2015. Not long after, I began searching for You Tube videos related to using tractors for trail making, brush cutting, dirt moving, etc. Eventually that led me to The Morgans. At the start I watched occasionally. At some point I went back to "the beginning" and watched your vacation videos. For at least a couple of years now I watch almost daily. Pretty sure I've seen all of your videos. I really enjoy most of them, and realize how difficult it must be to produce one nearly every day as your channel has evolved. Your outdoor and carpentry skills are good, but your video skills are better. And even though I'm older than you, I've learned a few things your videos. Thank you. Eau Claire County, WI
Hi Mike and Melissa-Been with you since your videos were in the single digits.I'm in north eastern CT. I was really never much into YT until I came across your channel...and it was off to the races from there! So many similarities: love of the outdoors and cutting firewood, similar philosophy on life and family, same tractor (L3901), same first name (Mike that is, not Melissa-LOL), and same age. In fact, you were the first channel I subscribed to. Really enjoying your wood shed build. Did one myself this past summer and came out pretty good. Built it as a 10 x 24, with rough cut pine siding. Learned a lot doing it myself and so happy not to be dealing with tarps and pallets. Best to you and the family.
Hi Mike and Melissa. This is Mike from Morgantown, WV. I’ve been watching your videos since the very early ones and enjoy them immensely. I am 80 yrs. old now and If I was starting all over again I would feel very blessed if I could live the kind of life that you guys are presently living. Stay humble and may the Lord continue to bless your family.
I’ve had my 036 over 20 years. I heat my house exclusively on locust that is so tough it’s like cutting petrified wood! I run a carbide tip chain from rapaco in Vancouver BC. The saw is wicked ..no repairs only maintenance.Brings a smile to my face every time I run it!
Have an 076 super Stihl. At 68 I don't use the heavy old brute much anymore, but it is ready to go when needed. An awesome old saw for big timber. Only been a subscriber for 3-4 months, but have went back and watched many of your past videos. Many of same interests here in Morris, Pa. LT35 Woodmizer mill, Bobcat 331 excavator with a homebuilt splitter attachment, TR320 Case track skid steer, and a Kubota 1120 RTV side by side. Cut lots of firewood for my outdoor furnace, but sell a little at a self serve roadside stand. Just finished making 12 gallon maple syrup in my backyard pan.
Good afternoon Morgan Family. I subscribed about a year ago and have watched most of your videos, and have enjoyed them all. Living in the country has given me a more relaxed look at life....sometimes to relaxed...lol. It's great to see how others get with nature and enjoy the same things. I think the world would be a better place if we had more chainsaws and tractors. Keep up the great videos and look forward to your next one. Cheers from saskatchewan, Canada.
Hello Mike & Melissa, from Norfolk ,beautiful England ! Been watching all your reports for well over a year now ,love your channel ! I'm in my first week of a 12 week 'stay indoors' due to World-wide situation ,my age & health ! Thank you, stay well !!
Hi Mike, Melissa and Hunter, I grew up in extreme northwest Vermont cutting fire wood, deer/duck hunting. I found your channel about 2 months ago, and love it. Now I live in north Delaware and cut wood for friends. I have a non verbal autistic grandson that I love very much, but doesn't cut fire wood or hunt. I love your saw mill. Thanks for all you do!!!
I began watching your videos about 11 months ago. I grew up in Elkhart, Indiana just south of Union, Michigan and have lived here in central Illinois for 45 years. I have a 17 year old Echo CS-4400 chainsaw that gets little use. I have a part time lawn mowing business and do some light tree pruning. I have four grown sons and 16 grand kids from age 10 month to 20 years. I enjoy our videos.
Here since the beginning when I purchased a kubota 5200. I was looking for information from owners of kubotas and I found you. We recently moved (from 35 acres to 2) and now we have an rk 24. I only have 3 hours on it, but I look forward to putting more on it. In Wurtsboro ny and picked up the tractor at Clearfield PA. My two girls love watching Melissa, and I love learning from you Mike, even though you are not an expert. The biggest take away from you has been to take it easy. May your family continue to be blessed. Ok back to prepping dinner. Our three mile hike has me hungry. (My four year old did all three miles)
Hi, Mike. This is my first video with you! I came because of the saw you are using! I carried one for at least 12 hours a day, 7 days a week back in 1984. A 4 foot bar and at least a 120 trees a day for the Forest Service in Wyoming! Fantastic saw! Now, disabled and at 67 I doubt I could wield it for a half hour! I wish I still had it, though! I have 2 Grandsons, in the early 20s that could do a lot of work with one of those!
I have been enjoying your channel for about a year, and am a subscriber. We live on a smaller farm in Doylestown, Ohio and are involved in animals. My wife is a veterinarian and I am a professional animal trainer specializing in behavior problems. Currently I work with over 60 different species and coordinate with zoos, theme parks and other licensed facilities around the world. Your videos help me become more efficient at managing our farm and taking care of our ecosystem. Looking forward to more from you and the family!
I had to look back through the videos to find when I first started to watch. It was #8 and since then I have been hooked. I use to watch them on my tablet, but my dog didn't like it. Too small to see. So now we play all the videos on the 70 inch tv screen and she is happy. The problem now is my wife and I can't watch anything else. Abby loves to watch Mike do everything from operate the tractors and log splitter to cutting down the trees with the chainsaw. Her favorite videos are Melissa walking the trails with the dogs. We are in Caseyville, Illinois just a short distance across the river from St. Louis, Mo.
Hi Mike and Melissa from here in Cornwall, England . Found you about 13 months ago now and enjoy seeing the woodland and how you manage it , using the equipment etc . Strange times our generation find ourselves in along with our children's . Hopefully we and they will learn from this situation to prevent it happening again , and may give us all time to reflect on our lives and how we live them and what perhaps what we can do to improve it in the future and for those of our children and grandchildren . Keep up the great videos .
Like many of your viewers I have been watching since right before you got a 1000 subs. I remember the when you were pushing for 3K. We have 5 acres in W Washington and have recently purchased 100+ acres in N Idaho in anticipation of my retirement. I have a John Deere 4044, multiple chain saws (all Stihl), and a Bobcat E-35 mini excavator. I have picked up countless tips and tricks from you and for the record I have purchased quite a bit of stuff on your recommendations in your videos. I know at 62 I should retire to a golf community somewhere and take it easy but I would go mad in a matter of days. I will spend the rest of my days managing our forests, maintaining our gravel road, cutting firewood and loving the outdoors. Because of you my wife and I are seriously exploring a Norwood portable saw mill. Keep up the great videos, like I’ve said before “I wish you guys were our neighbors”. PS. I had never really watched UA-cam before your channel, I was searching for a video on how to sharpen chainsaws which opened up this whole UA-cam experience.
Hello from Edinboro PA. I started watching your channel in March of 2018 after the birth of my first born son Duke. You got me through a lot of midnight feedings. It’s been fun to see him grow as your channel does. He calls you “Tractor Mike”, and loves watching your videos. Thanks for creating something we both enjoy.
M&M found you just over a year ago and now you are part of the family. Our homestead is 35 miles north of Milwaukee out in the country. BTW spent 8 years in the W.PA area back in the 90's loved it and till have many friends in the area. Be Well, Keep the Faith, Stay Real Frosty, Hug the Pups (Angel Stan too) and Howdy to Hunter!!!
Hey guys..my husband and I are Canadian and winter in Florida. When we arrived in Fl, we were just scrolling through different channels and the title of your videos was intriguing. One episode watching and we were hooked on Mike and Melissa. You guys are the definition of a peaceful lifestyle., great family values and teamwork. We summer in our hometown of Bathurst, N.B., Canada. And Mike...happy wife= happy life. Get your beautiful wife a nice family pool. I have already sent Melissa pictures of our pool and grandchildren playing. We’re huge fans and love you guys.
I can't remember exactly when we found you guys but it was sometime in the spring of 2019. I was researching tractors and was already a regular Rural King customer when I signed up for their email ads. That's where I clicked on a shortcut to your channel and the rest is history! We watch everyday and love witnessing your family live life. We live in Indianapolis Indiana and have property in the western part of the state. We appear in the #686 outtro. Thank you so much and God Bless.
Hi Melissa, Mike and family, I am from Central West of New South Wales Australia. I've only been watching about a year now, and what I have watched I have enjoyed. Like you guys I have a son on the autism spectrum and totally understand the routine bit, if their regular routine is disrupted it totally throws them and they struggle. Mike it's good to see you give the old saw a run, as much as we like new gear there is nothing quite like running a saw that was your first one you saved hard for and that earned you quite a bit of money. Sadly I don't have the first one I ever bought as someone decided years ago that their need for it was greater than mine and helped themselves. But I still have its replacement and even after all these years (1994 husky 61) it's still my go to saw for most jobs. I have my newer bigger ones but the old 61 just keeps drawing me back and it keeps delivering the goods. I would honestly hate to calculate how many tonnes (ton) of firewood and timber that old girl has cut over the years. Anyway this is a long one so you have a great day and stay safe.
About 2 years wish I would have subscribed on first day ,but have been taking the time since THE DANGER to binge watch and love every minute of the all....great to learn ALL the family makes me feels like I have a great neighbor
We have been watching Outdoors With the Morgans for the better part of 2 years. We are in Somerset County, Maine. We have a setup very much mike Mike, we cut lots of firewood, have a sawmill and 55hp tractor, plus many other things in common.
I have been watching your channel now for just over two years. I was looking on you tube back in the day for different firewood stacking methods. You have a great channel with positive outlook for a way of life that we enjoy. My wife started watching your videos with me while we enjoy our morning coffees. Keep up the great channel you have created, from Sparta Ontario Canada.
Been subscribed since early 2017. I bought a new Kubota that spring and Rama cross your channel researching tractors. It’s changed a lot over the years. This is definitely my favorite channel! Live in East Ohio.
Well Mike I found you about 6 months ago and I moved to Michigan about 5 years ago from California. In my younger years I did tree work and love climbing eucalyptus trees. Now just hunt fire wood to feed fireplace in the winter and fire pit in the summer. I love the outdoor and being in the woods.
Hey Mike and Melissa I’m transplanted from Sebago, ME to Barrington, NH. I found your channel about a year and a half ago when I was researching what Tractor to buy. I bought a Kubota B2650. I had strong interest in the Tym 394 but the closest dealer was quite a ways a way. No RK dealers in New England. Take care.
Good morning Mike and Melissa, I don’t remember just when I started watching your channel but I did go back and watch everyone of your videos from the beginning. You both have come a long way in the filming/editing and producing the greatest channel 👍👍 on UA-cam 👍👍 !! Your channel has motivated many folks and entertained millions. Thanks for sharing with us and continued best wishes for all of you. Fred.
Good morning Mike , Melissa , and family. I will be 69 in July . I am from Beach North Dakota, one mile from the Montana line on I-94, 25 miles west of Medora where the entrance to the South unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park is. Your channel was recommended to me, the video where you were laying out the grid, and digging the holes for the stilts of the mini cabin blind. I don't know the number of the video yet but I've been trying to catch up. I hit the like button I think at 536 and subscribed around number 558 and I've been hitting the like button every possible breakfast or brunch since love your content, work ethics, and sense of humor. I think part of the reason I enjoy your Channel is, I worked on the track Department of the railroad for 35 years the last 12 running a skid steer Mowing and maintaining roads and walkways for the trainmen, and other miscellaneous duties.
Started watching at video 94. Went back and watched all previous videos and haven't stopped watching since. Love what you do. Watching from Flint, Michigan
I remember stumbling on one of your videos when I was learning how to make a shooting bench. Since then, I went back and watched all your videos prior to the shooting bench and have watched every video since then. Love your channel and always a positive thing in my life to look forward to. Thank you to all those involved with your channel!
New Louisville ,Ky subscriber here, found you through Buckin and Ironhorse, love your channel . I too have a 036 pro, with heated handle no less, Melissa would like that. The 036 is one of my 11 vintage saws. Its a sickness but nothing better ,and safer , these days than being out in the woods cutting firewood . Hope to see you guys at B-stock and talk saws and outdoors, from a safe distance, of course, be safe.
I think video #6 was my first view with the Morgans and been hooked ever since, you've come a long way since then and I try to watch every one, my kind of lifestyle also. I'm in SE lower Michigan, retired last year and working on a couple antique Oliver tractors for plow days, a parade or two and some tractor pulling. Managing the family farm keeps me occupied along with numerous hobbies so always something to do. Keep making them videos and I'll keep watching, always interesting to see what the Morgan family is up to. Stay safe and healthy!!!!
Morning M&M. (Hunter /dogs and visiting kids too!) Glad to see you've brought out the good old saw! I still have my first Stihl 028AV I purchased in July 1978. I've replaced a lot of parts but not the cylinder/piston. Still runs great and I've dedicated it to a ripper chain for cutting logs for walking bridges. (I do volunteer trail work for a conservation group) Anyway, nice to see the quality of the older stuff shine through. I subscribed to the channel last year after I retired. I never had time to watch videos before that! Have enjoyed it very much since about the 500's I think. Keep them coming and be safe up there!
Good morning everyone. I've been here for about 2 years. From Iowa . BK bound for 😊😊💖👍 I have a. 036 tore apart in a box it was the best saw i ever had. I'm going to rebuild it . But it is not going to get done for a while. I cut thousands of hedge posts with it . Very good saw .
Howdy from Springfield Illinois. You're videos started popping up on my home page like a month ago probably because I sub to a few channels that do wood milling. Y'all seem to me to be living the good life & yes I'm jealous. I've been enjoying watching & ended up subscribing this morning. Thanks for putting out great videos. I'm sure it takes alot of extra work but one thing I've learned watching you two for a month is you're not afraid of hard work.
I don't remember exactly when I started watching, but it had to be near the beginning....I searched compact tractors, and came on your videos about your Kobota, and measuring and cutting firewood. Been watching ever since, good content, and very well done videos. I am from the original New Franklin, Stark co. Ohio.I am almost on the Columbiana Co.line. one county away from Pa. Have a Day! and bless you all.......
Thank you. You made your directing level cut first then you cut down to that cut making the front of the hinge, much better. Thank you. You also are leaving manageable stumps today. It is a joy to see the improvement. Just say the word when you want me to come over and show you hand sharpening.
I found UA-cam in april of 2019. I had posted some videos of the Amish saw wills, milking various things I filmed but I had never gone to the university of UA-cam. I started out watching all of Justin Rhodes post, the great American Farm Tour. From there somehow I found your channel. I may have come on board in July of last year. I have since gone back and watched all you have posted. For a long time I didn't know how to comment from my phone. I haul the Amush, most of my watching time is while I wait for them. I am in my van on my phone. UA-cam had a video showing how to comment from your phone. I am from New Hampshire, I alway will be. I am however portable. I have lived in more states than the average American has visited. I now reside in Ohio. When all goes well I am on the road most of my waking hours. I aversge over 200 miles a day. I check my odometer the first of each month and decide by the number of days. I learned to farm and cut wood from Archie Morse, he was born in 1896. I moved onto his farm when I returned to this country in 1976. The deal I made with him was I would cut split and stack in his barn one full cord of fire wood for each month I lived in his brooder house. I started off with a bow saw. I cut the first summer's rent with a half teardrop and a big D bow saw. I first got a McCulloch saw. When I took it to be repaired I was given a Husky to use while they fixed my saw. I earned enough that day to buy the Husky. I worked in the woods for over 20 years, had a LT15 for a while. My job was mostly firewood for a very long time. I loved it.
I'm located in north east Indiana and have been watching your channel for over a year. My 023 Stihl was purchased in 1991 after a severe ice storm in central Indiana. I really wanted the 026 but that was nearly twice as much money. I have replaced many pieces over the years but the power head is still going strong. I retired about 2 years ago and look forward to your video's.
I have been watching your channel for about two years. Keep it up. I bought a Stihl .045 back in 1976. No telling how many trees this saw has felled, or how much fire wood it has cut. It still starts on the third or fourth pull, and runs like brand new.
I don't remember how I came upon your channel but I think it was about a year or so ago. I watched it for a few months before I subscribed, don't know why, just the way I am. Social distancing I guess. I bought an 034 in 1991 and it was north of $400.00. Great saw and still runs good. I'm from Clarks Summit, PA. Look forward every morning watching your channel. Have a day!
Morgans! Hope the family stays healthy through these tough times. I started watching your channel in early 2018 I believe. I have a pair of 036 pros. My trusty go to power saw. One is bone stock. The other has some port work and pulls a 28" light weight. Super fun saw to run! Your family has a great channel and I enjoy your content. Thank you!
Hi Mike and Melissa. My wife and I bought a home on 5 wooded acres in Ohio last summer and moved in about August. I am SO happy to have found your channel. We heat mostly with a solid fuel furnace and the previous owners didn't leave us much firewood, so it has been catch-up all winter. I'm also learning tons from you about how to safely operate the Kubota tractor we picked up with the property. Good tools and their proper use make all the difference between work and fun. Please keep sharing. We love to get to know you and your family. ---- Jack
Hey Mike and Melissa! I was one of your first 10,000 subscribers. The first video I watched of your was the Carry All build for your Kubota. Love the channel! I live in Northeast Arkansas. My wife even watches you guys a little. Have a great day!
I think the first one I saw was #20, then I went back and watched them all and have been here ever since. Milwaukee, WI Condo Dweller. I get to live vicariously thru you guys, I am an old man in poor health but I do like what you do, Hi to all the Morgans.
In November of 2019 I had open heart surgery and during my recovery saw one of your videos, subscribed and now watch every video. Was super excited when watching one video and saw a house in the background while you were doing yardwork that I recognized and I realized that I do not live too far away in Cranberry Township, PA.
My wife and I have two boys, ages 8 and 10. I am disabled, so I am always home. Yesterday we learned that the boy's school will be closed for the rest of the year. It is so lovely to find a place to go where everything stays the same. Thank God, and God bless the Morgans for that. Please help me keep my sanity by doing what you do. Oh yes, I am going to add outdoors to their new curriculum.
Hi Mike, my name is Russ Truman. I live in a little village called Twain Harte in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. Approx. 90 miles south and east of Sacramento, Ca. I found your channel by accident. You had just started building your mini cabin. I got hooked on the progress. Then I got hooked on your wood cutting/splitting business and I have been hooked since. I watch for your videos everyday. I really enjoy watching Melissa and your family. Including Piper and Ruger. I would love to have all of your equipment you have but I am getting to old to do that kind of work anymore. Anyway I'm watching episode #727 on Mar 18, 2020. HAVE A DAY!
Gerry here from central Michigan. Found your channel last about a yr ago. Love what you are doing. You are lucky to have Malissa....she provides a lot of help. Can't get my wife to participate in outdoor activities. Keep it up .....I'll be watching.
Nice old saw I have an old AV034 , nice saw hard to start if its being sitting . My best saw is an old XL130 Homelite my Dad gave it to me years ago was a new saw he had for a spare for the skidder operator . I rebuilt the oiler pump and its never let me down just no safety stuff on it . The Stihl 034 got from a repair shop for free , the bimetal strip on the start choke was broke off . Was a great video Mr. Morgan
I’ve been here about 1.5 years now. I use your tips and tricks out at my cabin on 40 acres in Cattaraugus County NY, not too far north of the PA border. I enjoy yours and Melissas positive outlook on life. Getting out in the woods no matter what you’re doing is great during these new unique times we’re living in. keep it up! Take care!
I have been waiting to say something for a while about this, but...your saws always seem like they are in very good, clean condition. Not sure I have ever seen one of your saws look dirty, like mine do when I am done. I would love to see a video of how you keep your saws up and how you clean them up. I have been watching for over a year now, and I will say your channel is my favorite one!!
I bought an old 034 AV back in January that would have been a good parts saw but I had a local mechanic/magician work his magic with a new p/c, carb kit, ignition, and handle. Basically it’s an 036 pro minus the comp release and it puts a big ol grin on my face every time I fire it up. The saw mechanic told me to bring it back after a few cords of wood and he would get even more power out of it. I might even get a bark box for it. Those old saws can sure run like nobody’s business! I really like the fact that to save weight it has magnesium INSTEAD of plastics. Just gives the saw a better feel
Mike, my wife and I found you about a year ago and have been watching ever since. We’re in Salters, SC. I have to confess, I found your channel while browsing UA-cam, seeing a video in my recommended list, and saying to myself “Hmmm, what’s up with the hot blonde loading firewood?” You’re a lucky man, Mike! 😂
I was researching chainsaws in early 2017 and one of your videos came up. I bought a Stihl and have been following ever since. I’m from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Due to health issues I can’t get out in the bush like I used to but I enjoy watching Mike, Melissa and family enjoying the outdoors.
I've been watching for about 1 1/2 yrs. Live in Lakeland FL, but soon moving to 65 acres in Maine. Coronavirus is going to delay a bit. That's life. It's why I love and learn every day on your videos. Keep em coming.
I'm not sure how I found your channel because I don't cut or split wood, but just liked the way you and Melissa treat each other and work together. Watching your channel is the first thing I do when I get up in the mourning. So keep up the good work from here in B.C. Michigan.
I have been watching for over 2 years now. I went back and think I have seen all of your videos since #1. I enjoy them because you folks are just normal people and enjoy the same things I do. Keep up the great work and I know it isn't easy doing the videos but they are great.
I’ve been watching since video #665 from Ottawa, Ontario Canada. Your channel popped up in my suggested videos one day and I’ve watched pretty much every video since then. I love your positive outlook on things and your family dynamic is amazing. Stay safe, take care.
Not sure when I started watching but I know I look for the new one every morning to have coffee with. I think around six months is how long I been watching. I’m from the famous town of Bitely, Michigan. I hope your all doing good. Have a great day.
Found y'alls channel searching for Kubota tractor videos couple years ago, #20 was 1st one I watched and you were building the 3 point carry all..... Watched off and on never commenting until around video #216 then I subscribed & started watching religiously and eventually started commenting. ☺👍
That's pretty good; Hit the saw with a skid loader and only replace a piece of plastic! Been watching for maybe 2 months. I watched a lot of the old videos, trying to catch up and answer questions. From Essex, MA (coastal) Glad to see the saw that you saved for, back out and being run! Easy to grab the shiny, but that old one, is something special. Want to see the woodshed filled!
Gotta love those old Stihl Chainsaws. I still have have my 041AV that I bought new in 1977. It has cut massive amounts of wood, and probably 35 years ago, had straight gas run in it, which caused it to seize. All we did was to just let it cool down, put some oil into the cylinder, pulled the cord a few times, put mixed fuel back into the tank and it started right up and has been running great ever since. Other than new blades, bars, and rebuilding the carbs, I have done nothing else to it except last summer it developed an air lead, so I replaced all the gaskets and now it runs and cuts like a new saw. The only down side is that although it always starts after only 3 or 4 pulls, the compression that it still has makes those pulls quite difficult for these 72 year arms and shoulders, so all it does now is to sit on the shelf and get started and run a couple of times a year. Picking it up and feeling the weight, it's hard to believe that I used to fling this saw around like a toy. Aint youth wonderful? So glad that the new saws have compression releases and spring assists so old timers like me can still cut wood. Have a good day, and keep on cutting. Bill
Hello again from Brighton Colorado. I started watching in Feb. 2018 when you got the RK55. I think it was video 124 and I've been hooked ever since. I've gone back and watched most videos before that and every video since then. I especially like how you've incorporated the whole family since then.
I've been watching for about a year. I've seen all the videos. I live in VA Beach, VA. My neighbor is an administrator at STIHL. I retired from the Navy and work Civil Service as a Seamanship, Navigation and Shiphandling instructor.
I've been watching your channel for about 1.5 yrs. I'm from Napanee, ON which is near Kingston, Ontario Canada. I'm older now but did what you are enjoying over my life time.
Hey Mike I'm a newer subscriber . Been watching for about 3 months . My wife and I own a small organic farm in Ransomville NY ( Niagara county north west NY) . I love to watch you and Melissa work together. My wife and i do the same . I do some selling firewood also not too much . I love the channel and learn alot keep it up.
I found your video at about #400 When I got to 699 I stopped and went back to the beginning got back to #400 and I now here. Your videos cant come fast enough! Keep up the good work. I was watching Mathew Carona on his big sawmill videos when I found yours.
I think I started watching about a year ago have went back and watched them all. Bought my 039 in 1990 ,on my second spark plug and 3rd sprocket. Wood is my only heat burn around 14 loads 8ft pickup bed thrown on so this has been a great saw for me
Started watching fall of 2018 when I was doing research to buy a tractor. Ended up with a BX23S with a grapple (love it) hauls all my trees for firewood, every time I use the tractor I love it more and more. We live in Francestown NH.
Been watching for two years now, North Florida, I have two 036 Pro's, once one fell out of a truck and got ran over by a log truck, I replaced the bar and some body parts, and I still have it. over 20 years old now, also have 261 which I like a lot. Have a Day
Found your channel from a Rural King reference when I started looking at RK tractors about 6 months ago. Been watching ever since from Fairborn Ohio. Drove my RK37 home first of Janurary 2020. My 27 acres is only 3 miles from a Rural King. Love to see the RK tractors in action.
I’ve been following along since episode #149. I’ve been catching up on some of the older episodes. You are definitely at the top of my most watched list. The fact that you are just doing everyday things makes it fascinating. God Bless. Oh yeah... coming to you from Aztec, New Mexico. The Four Corners area. 😀
Been a subscriber for some months now but found your channel again last fall and have been watching every day. I go back and watch some of your older videos all the time. I really enjoy the way you and Melissa do things. Good luck and please keep turning out the good videos. I am from Western Tennessee near Jackson.
Hi Mike. Dave and Kim Neral here (Sycamore Ranch) Frederick Md. I think I found your channel around #30 and have been here ever since. Now a proud owner of a Kubota L3901 , Stihl farm boss and a Br 700 backpack blower.
Started watching your channel in Sept. 2018, I'm from Elliot Lake in Ontario Canada, Did a lot of that in my younger days, not I 75 and it's much easier to watch that do. Carry on!
Just found your site. The best saws I ever had was the 026 for trimming and light work and the 038 magnum for blocking and heavy work. After working as a mechanic for over 50 years - these are the best saws Stihl ever made - Period! Greetings from Perth Ontario Canada.
I have been watching for about a year. I enjoy watching the progress of all of your projects, and wish I were younger again (I am now 71) to be able to do the same.
Hi Mike and Melissa My first episode is #7 Spitting and Stacking Firewood. I been use some of your tips & tricks at our Sommerhose where we had some winter storms that took a lot of trees to make firewood of. I'm 56 years and living in Stockholm Sweden. I mostly look thru Apple TV and miss a lot of comments and community of your great channel. Keep up the good work.
I bought an 039 in 1999 to feed my outdoor stove 3/4 of a cord every week. The muffler got replaced, and it doesn't like to start once it's hot, but it is still going strong. It loves cold weather. I know it will start on the third pull when cold. We have 10 acres very close to Bennett Trailer Sales, and used to live in New Sewickley Township.
If I remember right, I subscribed when you had less then 2000. And I've watch every video you've put out since. My all time favorite was "can you make money selling firewood" 2nd favorite, is when you let us meet Hunter. I love your content, thank you
Central Illinois here. I started watching when I stumbled across the beginning of your cabin build. I got hooked and went back to first video and watched my way forward. Love it!!
MIKE, 3 years ago, I was in the market for a Kubota tractor.searching YT for Kubota tractors, found your channel, got hooked, been watching ever since. I'm a mile from the Kubota dealership in Apollo, But I own a RK37 best choice I made thanks to you.
Mike, been watching your videos for a while first one was around #58 when you were cleaning trees with the bobcat excavator. Been watching every since! One on my favorite videos is the one you shot up the piece of junk washing machine, I love that video. Thanks for all the great videos!!!! 👍👍👍👍
Good morning! I’ve been watching your channel almost since the beginning. I’m just north of you in Guys Mills Pa which is near Meadville Pa. Thanks for having a great Channel for us to watch and giving me ideas to do around the our property.
Hi Mike, been watching since your first Kubota videos. Found you searching UA-cam for tractor videos. I have your chainsaws big brother, the 044 magnum from about the same time period, late 90s. Love your videos as I do a lot of the same things you do. I’m in south central Massachusetts with about 65 acres of mostly wooded, very rocky land. I’m jealous of how easy you grade trails, drill holes and do general digging without rocks!! Take care, stay safe and keep up the great videos! Jim
Greetings from No VT - A cool but clear day here. Been in the Morgan Community since around Aug 2019. I really look forward to the daily dose of Morgans, generally the posts are visible around the time for my 8:00'ish cup of coffee. I especially like the variety of activities and being around a positive family. Happy to hear that Hunter is coping as well as possible.
Originally from South Africa, been living in S W Florida for the past twenty seven years. Enjoy watching your adventures with cutting firewood and running the sawmill, and the rest of the family antics. Subscibed last year, found your channel while looking for video's on making trails and clearing woods.
I started watching the channel I think since May of 2019 with the video with Melissa holding the hickory handled picaroon. It came up as a suggested video when I went on UA-cam at lunch at work. Since then have been watching as they come out and started back from #1 watching usually two old ones before the new one. Have been seeing a lot of ones I've seen before lately, up to about #645. Keep doing that until I get caught up. I'm retired now from Bath, Pa. in eastern Pa. just northeast of Bethlehem. I have a Stihl 025 I bought in 2001 the year after I bought my house. Also have an MS362 and several other Stihl products as I update my power tools. Best wishes to you and your's. Be safe for the next few weeks and keep the videos coming.
Retired engineer since 2014, now living in Traverse City, Michigan. Been watching your channel for about one year or so. Really enjoy watching the videos and your great family! Keep it up & stay healthy.
Been watching your channel since about episode #400, or so. Love them all! Have become a real UA-cam junkie watching all things Jeep CJ3A, STOL airplanes, reviving old iron, building wood boats, outdoor stuff in general. Can't watch it all, but always watch y'all. Question, how do I find your early episodes? You keep them coming, I'll keep watching!
Terry L. Castor from west central Indiana here. I've been watching for about a year and a half; shortly after the RK tractors showed up. I have watched all the back videos from day 1as well.
I have a Stihl 028 Super Wood Boss that I bought new in 1989 when we lived in IL and burned wood for heat. I had to have the carburetor rebuilt about 2 years ago and I just recently bought a new 16" bar for it. This little saw has been nothing but bullet proof. It can sit in the case for years and still fire off on 3 or 4 pulls. When we lived in IL, it was in the woods every Saturday in the Fall and Winter for 8 years. Never a misfire. Probably the best purchase I have made in my lifetime. I'll pass it down to my son when the time comes. Hopefully he will realize the jewel that it is.
Always a time to smile when I can watch Outdoors with the Morgans! Hi Hunter! Hang in there, buddy. Burger King has your back!
I can’t remember exactly when I found you. Maybe fall 2018. About a year earlier, I was looking for videos on felling timber, which was my introduction to the larger UA-cam video library. I think I saw some of yours then but the sawmill was just a curiosity for me. Then I started working on my pole barn salvage and restoration projects on our farm in the western Ozarks I moved off of the timber videos. By fall 2018, I cycled back into felling trees and timber operations and started watching you all regularly. You’ve taught me a lot! Thanks for letting us see into your lives. It’s really helpful these days.
Hi Mike and Melissa.
I have been watching since early 300's. I'm from Princess Anne, Md. I have a Stihl 011 which is over 35 years old and still going strong. My roots are from Altoona and still have relatives there. My cousins run Bennetti Tree Service in Altoona. LOVE your channel and have several similar interests. Very refreshing to hear and see like minded folks.
I'm impressed that I actually figured out how to comment. I'm a bit challenged with social media! Have a day!!
Started watching the Fall of 19. Splitting wood reminded me of the time spent with my Father in Law cutting and splitting wood. He built his own Log Splitter (Typical Farmer). Had a side lift on it also. Used the wood to head the boiler for hot water heat in the house.
Yes the old Stihl's are great. A friend of mine has a tree service and I spent many a hour in the summer helping. Always enjoyed listening to the 36 idling with the clang of the dry clutch. Sounds like a Ducati idling. Keep the Videos coming. I'm a Sod Buster from Southern Minnesota.
Mark from west central Missouri. In late September 2017 I purchased a 1972 Ford 3000 tractor to use for fire wording and general maintenance around my 40 acre property. Shortly thereafter I was searching the internet for ideas on building a three point carryall, which led me to OWTM #20. Wasn't long before I had watched all previous videos, and I've been with you ever since!
Hi Mike and Melissa, I started watching your channel last year. I enjoy each episode. I live in the township that surrounds LaGrange Ohio. There is farmland for about a mile behind us. We only have 1.3 acres but, it is enough now that I am in my 70's. Talking about the virus. Our oldest granddaughter (age 25) had ordered us to not go anywhere. Kids sure bossy these days. We love her anyway. Have a great day.
I purchased a 37 HP utility tractor in September 2015. Not long after, I began searching for You Tube videos related to using tractors for trail making, brush cutting, dirt moving, etc. Eventually that led me to The Morgans. At the start I watched occasionally. At some point I went back to "the beginning" and watched your vacation videos. For at least a couple of years now I watch almost daily. Pretty sure I've seen all of your videos. I really enjoy most of them, and realize how difficult it must be to produce one nearly every day as your channel has evolved. Your outdoor and carpentry skills are good, but your video skills are better. And even though I'm older than you, I've learned a few things your videos. Thank you. Eau Claire County, WI
Hi! Thanks so much for the kind comment. We are glad you enjoy the videos and really appreciate you being here!
Hi Mike and Melissa-Been with you since your videos were in the single digits.I'm in north eastern CT. I was really never much into YT until I came across your channel...and it was off to the races from there! So many similarities: love of the outdoors and cutting firewood, similar philosophy on life and family, same tractor (L3901), same first name (Mike that is, not Melissa-LOL), and same age. In fact, you were the first channel I subscribed to. Really enjoying your wood shed build. Did one myself this past summer and came out pretty good. Built it as a 10 x 24, with rough cut pine siding. Learned a lot doing it myself and so happy not to be dealing with tarps and pallets. Best to you and the family.
Hi Mike and Melissa. This is Mike from Morgantown, WV. I’ve been watching your videos since the very early ones and enjoy them immensely. I am 80 yrs. old now and If I was starting all over again I would feel very blessed if I could live the kind of life that you guys are presently living. Stay humble and may the Lord continue to bless your family.
I’ve had my 036 over 20 years. I heat my house exclusively on locust that is so tough it’s like cutting petrified wood! I run a carbide tip chain from rapaco in Vancouver BC. The saw is wicked ..no repairs only maintenance.Brings a smile to my face every time I run it!
Have an 076 super Stihl. At 68 I don't use the heavy old brute much anymore, but it is ready to go when needed. An awesome old saw for big timber. Only been a subscriber for 3-4 months, but have went back and watched many of your past videos. Many of same interests here in Morris, Pa. LT35 Woodmizer mill, Bobcat 331 excavator with a homebuilt splitter attachment, TR320 Case track skid steer, and a Kubota 1120 RTV side by side. Cut lots of firewood for my outdoor furnace, but sell a little at a self serve roadside stand. Just finished making 12 gallon maple syrup in my backyard pan.
Good afternoon Morgan Family. I subscribed about a year ago and have watched most of your videos, and have enjoyed them all. Living in the country has given me a more relaxed look at life....sometimes to relaxed...lol. It's great to see how others get with nature and enjoy the same things. I think the world would be a better place if we had more chainsaws and tractors. Keep up the great videos and look forward to your next one. Cheers from saskatchewan, Canada.
Hello Mike & Melissa, from Norfolk ,beautiful England ! Been watching all your reports for well over a year now ,love your channel ! I'm in my first week of a 12 week 'stay indoors' due to World-wide situation ,my age & health ! Thank you, stay well !!
Hi Mike, Melissa and Hunter, I grew up in extreme northwest Vermont cutting fire wood, deer/duck hunting. I found your channel about 2 months ago, and love it. Now I live in north Delaware and cut wood for friends. I have a non verbal autistic grandson that I love very much, but doesn't cut fire wood or hunt. I love your saw mill. Thanks for all you do!!!
I began watching your videos about 11 months ago. I grew up in Elkhart, Indiana just south of Union, Michigan and have lived here in central Illinois for 45 years. I have a 17 year old Echo CS-4400 chainsaw that gets little use. I have a part time lawn mowing business and do some light tree pruning. I have four grown sons and 16 grand kids from age 10 month to 20 years. I enjoy our videos.
Here since the beginning when I purchased a kubota 5200. I was looking for information from owners of kubotas and I found you. We recently moved (from 35 acres to 2) and now we have an rk 24. I only have 3 hours on it, but I look forward to putting more on it. In Wurtsboro ny and picked up the tractor at Clearfield PA. My two girls love watching Melissa, and I love learning from you Mike, even though you are not an expert. The biggest take away from you has been to take it easy. May your family continue to be blessed. Ok back to prepping dinner. Our three mile hike has me hungry. (My four year old did all three miles)
Hi, Mike. This is my first video with you! I came because of the saw you are using! I carried one for at least 12 hours a day, 7 days a week back in 1984. A 4 foot bar and at least a 120 trees a day for the Forest Service in Wyoming! Fantastic saw! Now, disabled and at 67 I doubt I could wield it for a half hour! I wish I still had it, though! I have 2 Grandsons, in the early 20s that could do a lot of work with one of those!
I have been enjoying your channel for about a year, and am a subscriber. We live on a smaller farm in Doylestown, Ohio and are involved in animals. My wife is a veterinarian and I am a professional animal trainer specializing in behavior problems. Currently I work with over 60 different species and coordinate with zoos, theme parks and other licensed facilities around the world. Your videos help me become more efficient at managing our farm and taking care of our ecosystem. Looking forward to more from you and the family!
I had to look back through the videos to find when I first started to watch. It was #8 and since then I have been hooked. I use to watch them on my tablet, but my dog didn't like it. Too small to see. So now we play all the videos on the 70 inch tv screen and she is happy. The problem now is my wife and I can't watch anything else. Abby loves to watch Mike do everything from operate the tractors and log splitter to cutting down the trees with the chainsaw. Her favorite videos are Melissa walking the trails with the dogs. We are in Caseyville, Illinois just a short distance across the river from St. Louis, Mo.
Hi Mike and Melissa from here in Cornwall, England . Found you about 13 months ago now and enjoy seeing the woodland and how you manage it , using the equipment etc . Strange times our generation find ourselves in along with our children's . Hopefully we and they will learn from this situation to prevent it happening again , and may give us all time to reflect on our lives and how we live them and what perhaps what we can do to improve it in the future and for those of our children and grandchildren . Keep up the great videos .
Like many of your viewers I have been watching since right before you got a 1000 subs. I remember the when you were pushing for 3K. We have 5 acres in W Washington and have recently purchased 100+ acres in N Idaho in anticipation of my retirement. I have a John Deere 4044, multiple chain saws (all Stihl), and a Bobcat E-35 mini excavator. I have picked up countless tips and tricks from you and for the record I have purchased quite a bit of stuff on your recommendations in your videos. I know at 62 I should retire to a golf community somewhere and take it easy but I would go mad in a matter of days. I will spend the rest of my days managing our forests, maintaining our gravel road, cutting firewood and loving the outdoors. Because of you my wife and I are seriously exploring a Norwood portable saw mill. Keep up the great videos, like I’ve said before “I wish you guys were our neighbors”. PS. I had never really watched UA-cam before your channel, I was searching for a video on how to sharpen chainsaws which opened up this whole UA-cam experience.
Hello from Edinboro PA. I started watching your channel in March of 2018 after the birth of my first born son Duke. You got me through a lot of midnight feedings. It’s been fun to see him grow as your channel does. He calls you “Tractor Mike”, and loves watching your videos. Thanks for creating something we both enjoy.
M&M found you just over a year ago and now you are part of the family. Our homestead is 35 miles north of Milwaukee out in the country. BTW spent 8 years in the W.PA area back in the 90's loved it and till have many friends in the area. Be Well, Keep the Faith, Stay Real Frosty, Hug the Pups (Angel Stan too) and Howdy to Hunter!!!
Hey guys..my husband and I are Canadian and winter in Florida. When we arrived in Fl, we were just scrolling through different channels and the title of your videos was intriguing. One episode watching and we were hooked on Mike and Melissa. You guys are the definition of a peaceful lifestyle., great family values and teamwork. We summer in our hometown of Bathurst, N.B., Canada. And Mike...happy wife= happy life. Get your beautiful wife a nice family pool. I have already sent Melissa pictures of our pool and grandchildren playing. We’re huge fans and love you guys.
I can't remember exactly when we found you guys but it was sometime in the spring of 2019. I was researching tractors and was already a regular Rural King customer when I signed up for their email ads. That's where I clicked on a shortcut to your channel and the rest is history! We watch everyday and love witnessing your family live life. We live in Indianapolis Indiana and have property in the western part of the state. We appear in the #686 outtro. Thank you so much and God Bless.
Hi Melissa, Mike and family, I am from Central West of New South Wales Australia. I've only been watching about a year now, and what I have watched I have enjoyed. Like you guys I have a son on the autism spectrum and totally understand the routine bit, if their regular routine is disrupted it totally throws them and they struggle. Mike it's good to see you give the old saw a run, as much as we like new gear there is nothing quite like running a saw that was your first one you saved hard for and that earned you quite a bit of money. Sadly I don't have the first one I ever bought as someone decided years ago that their need for it was greater than mine and helped themselves. But I still have its replacement and even after all these years (1994 husky 61) it's still my go to saw for most jobs. I have my newer bigger ones but the old 61 just keeps drawing me back and it keeps delivering the goods. I would honestly hate to calculate how many tonnes (ton) of firewood and timber that old girl has cut over the years. Anyway this is a long one so you have a great day and stay safe.
About 2 years wish I would have subscribed on first day ,but have been taking the time since THE DANGER to binge watch and love every minute of the all....great to learn ALL the family makes me feels like I have a great neighbor
Been watch for a year. I have watch all the older ones. Mike is now a much better producer. I have learned a lot. Thanks!
We have been watching Outdoors With the Morgans for the better part of 2 years. We are in Somerset County, Maine. We have a setup very much mike Mike, we cut lots of firewood, have a sawmill and 55hp tractor, plus many other things in common.
I have been watching your channel now for just over two years. I was looking on you tube back in the day for different firewood stacking methods. You have a great channel with positive outlook for a way of life that we enjoy. My wife started watching your videos with me while we enjoy our morning coffees. Keep up the great channel you have created, from Sparta Ontario Canada.
Been subscribed since early 2017. I bought a new Kubota that spring and Rama cross your channel researching tractors. It’s changed a lot over the years. This is definitely my favorite channel! Live in East Ohio.
Well Mike I found you about 6 months ago and I moved to Michigan about 5 years ago from California. In my younger years I did tree work and love climbing eucalyptus trees. Now just hunt fire wood to feed fireplace in the winter and fire pit in the summer. I love the outdoor and being in the woods.
Mike I had an 044 back in the day and it was an absolute woods wrecker. I started watching this channel in January of 2019.
Hey Mike and Melissa I’m transplanted from Sebago, ME to Barrington, NH. I found your channel about a year and a half ago when I was researching what Tractor to buy. I bought a Kubota B2650. I had strong interest in the Tym 394 but the closest dealer was quite a ways a way. No RK dealers in New England. Take care.
Good morning Mike and Melissa, I don’t remember just when I started watching your channel but I did go back and watch everyone of your videos from the beginning. You both have come a long way in the filming/editing and producing the greatest channel 👍👍 on UA-cam 👍👍 !! Your channel has motivated many folks and entertained millions. Thanks for sharing with us and continued best wishes for all of you. Fred.
Thanks so much Fred.. we really appreciate your support!
yes, i agree..................
@@frankieharden437 Plus one! TV sux....How about "Outdoors with the Morgans - The Movie"
I second that
Good morning Mike , Melissa , and family. I will be 69 in July . I am from Beach North Dakota, one mile from the Montana line on I-94, 25 miles west of Medora where the entrance to the South unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park is. Your channel was recommended to me, the video where you were laying out the grid, and digging the holes for the stilts of the mini cabin blind. I don't know the number of the video yet but I've been trying to catch up. I hit the like button I think at 536 and subscribed around number 558 and I've been hitting the like button every possible breakfast or brunch since love your content, work ethics, and sense of humor. I think part of the reason I enjoy your Channel is, I worked on the track Department of the railroad for 35 years the last 12 running a skid steer Mowing and maintaining roads and walkways for the trainmen, and other miscellaneous duties.
Started watching at video 94. Went back and watched all previous videos and haven't stopped watching since. Love what you do. Watching from Flint, Michigan
I remember stumbling on one of your videos when I was learning how to make a shooting bench. Since then, I went back and watched all your videos prior to the shooting bench and have watched every video since then. Love your channel and always a positive thing in my life to look forward to. Thank you to all those involved with your channel!
New Louisville ,Ky subscriber here, found you through Buckin and Ironhorse, love your channel . I too have a 036 pro, with heated handle no less, Melissa would like that. The 036 is one of my 11 vintage saws. Its a sickness but nothing better ,and safer , these days than being out in the woods cutting firewood . Hope to see you guys at B-stock and talk saws and outdoors, from a safe distance, of course, be safe.
I think video #6 was my first view with the Morgans and been hooked ever since, you've come a long way since then and I try to watch every one, my kind of lifestyle also. I'm in SE lower Michigan, retired last year and working on a couple antique Oliver tractors for plow days, a parade or two and some tractor pulling. Managing the family farm keeps me occupied along with numerous hobbies so always something to do.
Keep making them videos and I'll keep watching, always interesting to see what the Morgan family is up to. Stay safe and healthy!!!!
Morning M&M. (Hunter /dogs and visiting kids too!) Glad to see you've brought out the good old saw! I still have my first Stihl 028AV I purchased in July 1978. I've replaced a lot of parts but not the cylinder/piston. Still runs great and I've dedicated it to a ripper chain for cutting logs for walking bridges. (I do volunteer trail work for a conservation group) Anyway, nice to see the quality of the older stuff shine through. I subscribed to the channel last year after I retired. I never had time to watch videos before that! Have enjoyed it very much since about the 500's I think. Keep them coming and be safe up there!
Thanks so much Don.. you as well!
Good morning everyone.
I've been here for about 2 years.
From Iowa .
BK bound for 😊😊💖👍
I have a. 036 tore apart in a box it was the best saw i ever had.
I'm going to rebuild it .
But it is not going to get done for a while. I cut thousands of hedge posts with it . Very good saw .
Howdy from Springfield Illinois. You're videos started popping up on my home page like a month ago probably because I sub to a few channels that do wood milling. Y'all seem to me to be living the good life & yes I'm jealous. I've been enjoying watching & ended up subscribing this morning. Thanks for putting out great videos. I'm sure it takes alot of extra work but one thing I've learned watching you two for a month is you're not afraid of hard work.
I don't remember exactly when I started watching, but it had to be near the beginning....I searched compact tractors, and came on your videos about your Kobota, and measuring and cutting firewood. Been watching ever since, good content, and very well done videos. I am from the original New Franklin, Stark co. Ohio.I am almost on the Columbiana Co.line. one county away from Pa. Have a Day! and bless you all.......
Thank you.
You made your directing level cut first then you cut down to that cut making the front of the hinge, much better. Thank you. You also are leaving manageable stumps today. It is a joy to see the improvement.
Just say the word when you want me to come over and show you hand sharpening.
I found UA-cam in april of 2019.
I had posted some videos of the Amish saw wills, milking various things I filmed but I had never gone to the university of UA-cam.
I started out watching all of Justin Rhodes post, the great American Farm Tour. From there somehow I found your channel. I may have come on board in July of last year. I have since gone back and watched all you have posted. For a long time I didn't know how to comment from my phone. I haul the Amush, most of my watching time is while I wait for them. I am in my van on my phone.
UA-cam had a video showing how to comment from your phone.
I am from New Hampshire, I alway will be. I am however portable. I have lived in more states than the average American has visited. I now reside in Ohio. When all goes well I am on the road most of my waking hours. I aversge over 200 miles a day. I check my odometer the first of each month and decide by the number of days.
I learned to farm and cut wood from Archie Morse, he was born in 1896.
I moved onto his farm when I returned to this country in 1976.
The deal I made with him was I would cut split and stack in his barn one full cord of fire wood for each month I lived in his brooder house.
I started off with a bow saw. I cut the first summer's rent with a half teardrop and a big D bow saw.
I first got a McCulloch saw. When I took it to be repaired I was given a Husky to use while they fixed my saw. I earned enough that day to buy the Husky.
I worked in the woods for over 20 years, had a LT15 for a while.
My job was mostly firewood for a very long time. I loved it.
I'm located in north east Indiana and have been watching your channel for over a year. My 023 Stihl was purchased in 1991 after a severe ice storm in central Indiana. I really wanted the 026 but that was nearly twice as much money. I have replaced many pieces over the years but the power head is still going strong.
I retired about 2 years ago and look forward to your video's.
I have been watching your channel for about two years. Keep it up. I bought a Stihl .045 back in 1976. No telling how many trees this saw has felled, or how much fire wood it has cut. It still starts on the third or fourth pull, and runs like brand new.
I don't remember how I came upon your channel but I think it was about a year or so ago. I watched it for a few months before I subscribed, don't know why, just the way I am. Social distancing I guess. I bought an 034 in 1991 and it was north of $400.00. Great saw and still runs good. I'm from Clarks Summit, PA. Look forward every morning watching your channel. Have a day!
Morgans! Hope the family stays healthy through these tough times. I started watching your channel in early 2018 I believe. I have a pair of 036 pros. My trusty go to power saw. One is bone stock. The other has some port work and pulls a 28" light weight. Super fun saw to run! Your family has a great channel and I enjoy your content. Thank you!
Hi Mike and Melissa. My wife and I bought a home on 5 wooded acres in Ohio last summer and moved in about August. I am SO happy to have found your channel. We heat mostly with a solid fuel furnace and the previous owners didn't leave us much firewood, so it has been catch-up all winter. I'm also learning tons from you about how to safely operate the Kubota tractor we picked up with the property. Good tools and their proper use make all the difference between work and fun. Please keep sharing. We love to get to know you and your family. ---- Jack
I’m a disabled veteran and my wife got this iPad two years ago, been watching you guys that long everyday. I’m Louisiana.. CM in Louisiana
God bless you sir and thank you for your service. My late father was retired Navy.
Hey Mike and Melissa! I was one of your first 10,000 subscribers. The first video I watched of your was the Carry All build for your Kubota. Love the channel! I live in Northeast Arkansas. My wife even watches you guys a little. Have a great day!
I think the first one I saw was #20, then I went back and watched them all and have been here ever since. Milwaukee, WI Condo Dweller. I get to live vicariously thru you guys, I am an old man in poor health but I do like what you do, Hi to all the Morgans.
In November of 2019 I had open heart surgery and during my recovery saw one of your videos, subscribed and now watch every video. Was super excited when watching one video and saw a house in the background while you were doing yardwork that I recognized and I realized that I do not live too far away in Cranberry Township, PA.
My wife and I have two boys, ages 8 and 10. I am disabled, so I am always home. Yesterday we learned that the boy's school will be closed for the rest of the year. It is so lovely to find a place to go where everything stays the same. Thank God, and God bless the Morgans for that. Please help me keep my sanity by doing what you do. Oh yes, I am going to add outdoors to their new curriculum.
Happy to hear this.. best of luck to you and your family during this time
Hi Mike, my name is Russ Truman. I live in a little village called Twain Harte in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. Approx. 90 miles south and east of Sacramento, Ca. I found your channel by accident. You had just started building your mini cabin. I got hooked on the progress. Then I got hooked on your wood cutting/splitting business and I have been hooked since. I watch for your videos everyday. I really enjoy watching Melissa and your family. Including Piper and Ruger. I would love to have all of your equipment you have but I am getting to old to do that kind of work anymore. Anyway I'm watching episode #727 on Mar 18, 2020. HAVE A DAY!
Gerry here from central Michigan. Found your channel last about a yr ago. Love what you are doing.
You are lucky to have Malissa....she provides a lot of help. Can't get my wife to participate in outdoor activities. Keep it up .....I'll be watching.
Nice old saw I have an old AV034 , nice saw hard to start if its being sitting . My best saw is an old XL130 Homelite my Dad gave it to me years ago was a new saw he had for a spare for the skidder operator . I rebuilt the oiler pump and its never let me down just no safety stuff on it . The Stihl 034 got from a repair shop for free , the bimetal strip on the start choke was broke off . Was a great video Mr. Morgan
I’ve been here about 1.5 years now. I use your tips and tricks out at my cabin on 40 acres in Cattaraugus County NY, not too far north of the PA border.
I enjoy yours and Melissas positive outlook on life.
Getting out in the woods no matter what you’re doing is great during these new unique times we’re living in. keep it up! Take care!
Thanks so much. You as well
I have been waiting to say something for a while about this, but...your saws always seem like they are in very good, clean condition. Not sure I have ever seen one of your saws look dirty, like mine do when I am done. I would love to see a video of how you keep your saws up and how you clean them up. I have been watching for over a year now, and I will say your channel is my favorite one!!
I bought an old 034 AV back in January that would have been a good parts saw but I had a local mechanic/magician work his magic with a new p/c, carb kit, ignition, and handle. Basically it’s an 036 pro minus the comp release and it puts a big ol grin on my face every time I fire it up. The saw mechanic told me to bring it back after a few cords of wood and he would get even more power out of it. I might even get a bark box for it. Those old saws can sure run like nobody’s business! I really like the fact that to save weight it has magnesium INSTEAD of plastics. Just gives the saw a better feel
Mike, my wife and I found you about a year ago and have been watching ever since. We’re in Salters, SC. I have to confess, I found your channel while browsing UA-cam, seeing a video in my recommended list, and saying to myself “Hmmm, what’s up with the hot blonde loading firewood?” You’re a lucky man, Mike! 😂
I was researching chainsaws in early 2017 and one of your videos came up. I bought a Stihl and have been following ever since. I’m from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Due to health issues I can’t get out in the bush like I used to but I enjoy watching Mike, Melissa and family enjoying the outdoors.
I've been watching for about 1 1/2 yrs. Live in Lakeland FL, but soon moving to 65 acres in Maine. Coronavirus is going to delay a bit. That's life. It's why I love and learn every day on your videos. Keep em coming.
I'm not sure how I found your channel because I don't cut or split wood, but just liked the way you and Melissa treat each other and work together. Watching your channel is the first thing I do when I get up in the mourning. So keep up the good work from here in B.C. Michigan.
I have been watching for over 2 years now. I went back and think I have seen all of your videos since #1. I enjoy them because you folks are just normal people and enjoy the same things I do. Keep up the great work and I know it isn't easy doing the videos but they are great.
I’ve been watching since video #665 from Ottawa, Ontario Canada. Your channel popped up in my suggested videos one day and I’ve watched pretty much every video since then. I love your positive outlook on things and your family dynamic is amazing. Stay safe, take care.
Not sure when I started watching but I know I look for the new one every morning to have coffee with. I think around six months is how long I been watching. I’m from the famous town of Bitely, Michigan. I hope your all doing good. Have a great day.
Found y'alls channel searching for Kubota tractor videos couple years ago, #20 was 1st one I watched and you were building the 3 point carry all..... Watched off and on never commenting until around video #216 then I subscribed & started watching religiously and eventually started commenting. ☺👍
That's pretty good; Hit the saw with a skid loader and only replace a piece of plastic!
Been watching for maybe 2 months. I watched a lot of the old videos, trying to catch up and answer questions.
From Essex, MA (coastal)
Glad to see the saw that you saved for, back out and being run! Easy to grab the shiny, but that old one, is something special.
Want to see the woodshed filled!
Gotta love those old Stihl Chainsaws. I still have have my 041AV that I bought new in 1977. It has cut massive amounts of wood, and probably 35 years ago, had straight gas run in it, which caused it to seize. All we did was to just let it cool down, put some oil into the cylinder, pulled the cord a few times, put mixed fuel back into the tank and it started right up and has been running great ever since. Other than new blades, bars, and rebuilding the carbs, I have done nothing else to it except last summer it developed an air lead, so I replaced all the gaskets and now it runs and cuts like a new saw. The only down side is that although it always starts after only 3 or 4 pulls, the compression that it still has makes those pulls quite difficult for these 72 year arms and shoulders, so all it does now is to sit on the shelf and get started and run a couple of times a year. Picking it up and feeling the weight, it's hard to believe that I used to fling this saw around like a toy. Aint youth wonderful? So glad that the new saws have compression releases and spring assists so old timers like me can still cut wood. Have a good day, and keep on cutting. Bill
Hello again from Brighton Colorado. I started watching in Feb. 2018 when you got the RK55. I think it was video 124 and I've been hooked ever since. I've gone back and watched most videos before that and every video since then. I especially like how you've incorporated the whole family since then.
I've been watching for about a year. I've seen all the videos. I live in VA Beach, VA. My neighbor is an administrator at STIHL. I retired from the Navy and work Civil Service as a Seamanship, Navigation and Shiphandling instructor.
I've been watching your channel for about 1.5 yrs. I'm from Napanee, ON which is near Kingston, Ontario Canada. I'm older now but did what you are enjoying over my life time.
Hey Mike I'm a newer subscriber . Been watching for about 3 months . My wife and I own a small organic farm in Ransomville NY ( Niagara county north west NY) . I love to watch you and Melissa work together. My wife and i do the same . I do some selling firewood also not too much . I love the channel and learn alot keep it up.
I found your video at about #400 When I got to 699 I stopped and went back to the beginning got back to #400 and I now here. Your videos cant come fast enough! Keep up the good work. I was watching Mathew Carona on his big sawmill videos when I found yours.
I think I started watching about a year ago have went back and watched them all. Bought my 039 in 1990 ,on my second spark plug and 3rd sprocket. Wood is my only heat burn around 14 loads 8ft pickup bed thrown on so this has been a great saw for me
Started watching fall of 2018 when I was doing research to buy a tractor. Ended up with a BX23S with a grapple (love it) hauls all my trees for firewood, every time I use the tractor I love it more and more. We live in Francestown NH.
ddsharpening: Did you send in an intro that was used shortly after they started doing them? I ask only because I live in the same town.
D.A. Ballou yes I did! I think it was 691. I have the sharpening shop on 136 heading towards Greenfield, stop in some time.
Been watching for two years now, North Florida, I have two 036 Pro's, once one fell out of a truck and got ran over by a log truck, I replaced the bar and some body parts, and I still have it. over 20 years old now, also have 261 which I like a lot. Have a Day
Found your channel from a Rural King reference when I started looking at RK tractors about 6 months ago. Been watching ever since from Fairborn Ohio. Drove my RK37 home first of Janurary 2020. My 27 acres is only 3 miles from a Rural King. Love to see the RK tractors in action.
I’ve been following along since episode #149. I’ve been catching up on some of the older episodes. You are definitely at the top of my most watched list. The fact that you are just doing everyday things makes it fascinating. God Bless. Oh yeah... coming to you from Aztec, New Mexico. The Four Corners area. 😀
Been a subscriber for some months now but found your channel again last fall and have been watching every day. I go back and watch some of your older videos all the time. I really enjoy the way you and Melissa do things. Good luck and please keep turning out the good videos. I am from Western Tennessee near Jackson.
Hi Mike. Dave and Kim Neral here (Sycamore Ranch) Frederick Md. I think I found your channel around #30 and have been here ever since. Now a proud owner of a Kubota L3901 , Stihl farm boss and a Br 700 backpack blower.
Started watching your channel in Sept. 2018, I'm from Elliot Lake in Ontario Canada, Did a lot of that in my younger days, not I 75 and it's much easier to watch that do. Carry on!
Just found your site. The best saws I ever had was the 026 for trimming and light work and the 038 magnum for blocking and heavy work. After working as a mechanic for over 50 years - these are the best saws Stihl ever made - Period! Greetings from Perth Ontario Canada.
I have been watching for about a year. I enjoy watching the progress of all of your projects, and wish I were younger again (I am now 71) to be able to do the same.
Hi Mike and Melissa
My first episode is #7 Spitting and Stacking Firewood. I been use some of your tips & tricks at our Sommerhose where we had some winter storms that took a lot of trees to make firewood of. I'm 56 years and living in Stockholm Sweden. I mostly look thru Apple TV and miss a lot of comments and community of your great channel. Keep up the good work.
I bought an 039 in 1999 to feed my outdoor stove 3/4 of a cord every week. The muffler got replaced, and it doesn't like to start once it's hot, but it is still going strong. It loves cold weather. I know it will start on the third pull when cold. We have 10 acres very close to Bennett Trailer Sales, and used to live in New Sewickley Township.
If I remember right, I subscribed when you had less then 2000. And I've watch every video you've put out since. My all time favorite was "can you make money selling firewood" 2nd favorite, is when you let us meet Hunter. I love your content, thank you
Central Illinois here. I started watching when I stumbled across the beginning of your cabin build. I got hooked and went back to first video and watched my way forward. Love it!!
Been watching about five months from Romulus Michigan and love watching you guys.
MIKE, 3 years ago, I was in the market for a Kubota tractor.searching YT for Kubota tractors, found your channel, got hooked, been watching ever since. I'm a mile from the Kubota dealership in Apollo, But I own a RK37 best choice I made thanks to you.
Hi John thanks so much! Really appreciate it
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans congrats on the140k ,I enjoy the journey with yinz. Good stuff!
Mike, been watching your videos for a while first one was around #58 when you were cleaning trees with the bobcat excavator. Been watching every since! One on my favorite videos is the one you shot up the piece of junk washing machine, I love that video. Thanks for all the great videos!!!! 👍👍👍👍
Good morning! I’ve been watching your channel almost since the beginning. I’m just north of you in Guys Mills Pa which is near Meadville Pa. Thanks for having a great Channel for us to watch and giving me ideas to do around the our property.
Hi Mike, been watching since your first Kubota videos. Found you searching UA-cam for tractor videos. I have your chainsaws big brother, the 044 magnum from about the same time period, late 90s. Love your videos as I do a lot of the same things you do. I’m in south central Massachusetts with about 65 acres of mostly wooded, very rocky land. I’m jealous of how easy you grade trails, drill holes and do general digging without rocks!! Take care, stay safe and keep up the great videos! Jim
Greetings from No VT - A cool but clear day here. Been in the Morgan Community since around Aug 2019. I really look forward to the daily dose of Morgans, generally the posts are visible around the time for my 8:00'ish cup of coffee. I especially like the variety of activities and being around a positive family. Happy to hear that Hunter is coping as well as possible.
Thank you so much
Originally from South Africa, been living in S W Florida for the past twenty seven years. Enjoy watching your adventures with cutting firewood and running the sawmill, and the rest of the family antics. Subscibed last year, found your channel while looking for video's on making trails and clearing woods.
I started watching the channel I think since May of 2019 with the video with Melissa holding the hickory handled picaroon. It came up as a suggested video when I went on UA-cam at lunch at work. Since then have been watching as they come out and started back from #1 watching usually two old ones before the new one. Have been seeing a lot of ones I've seen before lately, up to about #645. Keep doing that until I get caught up. I'm retired now from Bath, Pa. in eastern Pa. just northeast of Bethlehem. I have a Stihl 025 I bought in 2001 the year after I bought my house. Also have an MS362 and several other Stihl products as I update my power tools. Best wishes to you and your's. Be safe for the next few weeks and keep the videos coming.
Retired engineer since 2014, now living in Traverse City, Michigan. Been watching your channel for about one year or so.
Really enjoy watching the videos and your great family! Keep it up & stay healthy.
Thanks Bill.. you as well
Been watching your channel since about episode #400, or so. Love them all! Have become a real UA-cam junkie watching all things Jeep CJ3A, STOL airplanes, reviving old iron, building wood boats, outdoor stuff in general. Can't watch it all, but always watch y'all. Question, how do I find your early episodes? You keep them coming, I'll keep watching!
