I live in north Alabama- I’m 77 years old- I sure do enjoy your old time ways- I also and born again- So thankful for your church service’s in the outdoors- Thank you for sharing good news in these dark ungodly days-You are a Blessing to me♥️
Hi 👋 I am just like you ! In north Ala. I love every minute of it . Good memories for me , I remember cross cut saws hard work made you eat good and sleep well . Them horse s took going to barn. I WONDER WHAT OUR DADDIES WOULD THOUGHT ABOUT THESE VIDEOS ? 😂🤠
❤
North West Ala here also. In the hometown of the Swampers. Ran across Titus a few weeks ago. Been a real blessing and teaching of the old ways.
❤
I'm in Central ALABAMA. U know where the big peach is off of Interstate 65
Im just a Californian, 51yrs old who is struggling with this fast moving life and Satan’s success in taking over people’s heart… I am a public health nurse for the homeless, and you can bet that I will be referring your channel to all of my clients that I care so much about… Even those that I struggle to care for. Lord, help me have the wisdom needed to discern, what the right path is and what the right words are to make the greatest difference in bringing more people to You. 🙏🏼
❤️❤️❤️
You have my utmost respect. Thank you for helping lost souls and the struggling.
Thanks for teaching us a number of things NOT to do. Just happy no one got hurt. The Good Lord was surely looking after you, Titus.
Amen
Seriously!!!!! this is a how to not cut down trees video
For legal reasons I don't think I would say these are for educational purposes. If anything I would state that this is purely for entertainment and you shouldn't try any of this at home. The last thing you want is some idiot hurting themselves and suing you for "teaching" them them wrong.
Nobody takes responsibility for their actions anymore, its always someone else's fault.
It's sad but its the world we live in. Love your videos though, Titus is the most genuine, kind hearted soul. I would hate to see anyone cause him problems, just food for thought.
Love ya Titus!
Literally almost everything in this video was done incorrectly and unsafe. Nothing but sheer luck and/or prayers got them through this ordeal without serious injury or worse.....
Im not hating on the fella, but if anyone actually decides to try this, following this video is likely to get them hurt or killed.
@@weirdmood8102 Totally agree. Please for safety purposes, only take his tree cutting as advice on not what to do.
Poor horses
Man are you keeping Angels busy!!!
We should probably have more people praying for Titus the way that looked but thanks Titus for giving us the opportunity and showing this to us. I think even Peter Santella would’ve enjoyed this one.
Absolutely we should be praying for Titus and giving him resources if we can. He needs a tree skidded that he can hook to the horses and ride instead of running behind them. If anybody knows of an old one laying around I would be happy to help purchase it from someone
Skidder not skidded
A true blessing to see logging done with horses, Titus and all the helpers. What a wonderful experience to watch it. Only wish I were there to participate. God bless all of you.
My 7 year old son LOVES watching the wonderful experiences that Titus is sharing with us! He LAUGHED so much when the horses took off, and Titus following behind as well. I got a bit concerned over safety. I’m just grateful that the camera kept rolling we were relieved that no one got hurt! May God Continue to Bless Titus and all his endeavors!!! ❤️🙏 🌲 🐎 ❤️
Concerned about safety as well. Chaps & a helmet with a face guard would make the chain sawing much more safe.
The horses are incredible, nerves of steel, knowing their job. Beautiful horsemanship
The blind leading the blind. Thank goodness nobody was hurt. So much to learn about safety when logging.
I was scared for the horses. That log was not setup right at all.
Praying for their safety.
@@americanpurge Me too and also they need some safety lessons.
They've been doing farm work forever without your help 😅
@@busybody1474 it's too bad that you don't know right from wrong either.
I was on the edge of my chair watching this video! Thank God everyone is ok ! Love and prayers !🙏❤️
This one was a hard one to watch...I cut wood for a living for two years straight on the farm... I wish i was there teaching you all, esp the safety part... God had you guys....for sure. It appears one horse can pull those and you would have much more control, don't you think?
ya
😊actually a bull team (oxen) are super useful and strong . Horses are the most beautiful animals. They were vital to the building of the frontier, in so far as communications (pony express,) travel by coach, or just riding to visit. But sadly the oxen and the mother cow were (and are to this day) only regarded as citizens without souls, so they are daily sent to be butchered for their flesh. In a more sane and compassionate society, protection of mother cow for her wholesome milk, and using oxen for heavy plowing or grinding grains in to flour or seeds into cooking oil are the most humane and caring ways for true humanity. Titus told us to feed our minds with good things. I hope this is a good contribution. May there be peace in the world.
This was terrible. It should be taken down for showing so many things done wrong.
@@upperpineIts crazy there are folks here hating on the ones trying to draw attention to the many things that were wrong here. Honestly, i don't really think anything in the entire video was done safely or correctly....
It had my anxiety racing from the start. I certainly didn't want to see any of them or those horses get injured or killed. Im sure that sounds dramatic to most, but good men die all the time from tree's not falling as planned.
Hopefully, this video will persuade someone close to Titus to go offer their services and teach him how to safely work his team and the timber. All those tree's getting hung up and no one except the cameraman looking up through entire cuts was hard to watch!
This is very hard to watch Titus, please spend some more time learning how to work your team and safely cut timber. 😢 On the edge kf my seat the whole time, concerned for all of your safety.
If every workplace had a supervisor or manager who prayed each day with the employees for Gods wisdom and guidance. I believe the workplace would be a better place to work
It's no joke when it comes to logging with these beautiful horses.. It is an amazing feat to think of everything that was accomplished when building up America way back in the day..
Eric is a great photographer !!!
awesome job Eric, could not have been better ... thanks
Yep, the tripod make all the difference. ...and the wireless mic
I'm so sorry, Titus, but you really made us laugh with joy, for all the wrong reasons! Watching you and your honest mayhem was so wonderfully hysterical. Never lose your boyish enthusiasm and love for LIFE ❤ Patrick and Erika (UK)
I am thanking our Father in heaven for watching over you fellas! I can see y’all thought it was fun but I am a little frazzled!! I can’t count the times I said “Oh, Titus!” during this video! Thank you, Jesus!
Just another day for a country boy. Here in upstate NY this is just another Monday.
Seeing Titus with his amazing skills is really neat .Tree surfing! What a skill!
Titus, I was born in Puerto Rico, and my father taught me the art of working the farm and garden's with our bare hands & tools. Your video's have brought back so many memories of those days, and the lesson's that I learned from my father have stayed with me all my life. We love your praying and also your amazing life that you have opened us all up to. May God continue to wrap you in his protective arms, and bless you with an amazing church for everyone. Blessing to you Titus.
God bless you Titus and the volunteers that God has sent your way..May you all be safe, blessed and successful...
Amen
Amen
Awesome job Titus. You have a pretty good camera man. Great job Eric.
Please keep yourself, your friends, and horses safe. The prayers probably helped you out on this day.
Oh my gosh, I was on pins & needles watching!! I caught myself praying for Titus a few times only to remember, "This is pre-recorded and has already happened." 😂
This is why mothers get gray hair!!!!
Oh Titus, I thank God for angels, our helpers, and pray you be continually surrounded by warring angels to help you accomplish your assignment from heaven!! Thank you, Father, for protecting this dear precious brother! ❤🙏
Titus with a new hat and shoes on!!?? I almost didn’t recognize him 😂😂
Good job filming and editing Eeic 👍
There's something very calming about watching Titus going about his business. This is special content. Its enriching and a joy to watch. Blessings from the UK. 🇬🇧
I cut pulp one winter in high school and we used a horse. Northern New England so it wasn't warm but it was the best winter I ever had. Our Belgian was well trained. Bring him to the yard, lead him into the woods then hook to a log and lead him back to the yard. That was all it took. Take him into the woods, hook up and "Go, Clyde"! He would drag to the yard alone and stop by the pile. Great horse.
Titus videos are better than Netflix
I have been watching from 3 00 am
Is already 12 00 pm
I'm still 😂😂😂😂😂😂
❤️❤️❤️
Wow , what an adventure to see the hard work taking trees out the woods with those two hard working well trained beautiful horses !
You are a work horse yourself Titus ! 👍
Thank you for sharing this video. Much information on how it is done !!
I really wish you would’ve kept the video going. We the viewers would love to see the lunch process, the cooking, sharing meal videos ❤️
Praying for everyone's safety as you log. God Bless You.
That was PRETTY COOL Titus RIDDING THE LOG/CUT TREE, THAT THE HORSES WERE PULLING!
Yes, you have such good volunteers coming and going with good hearts helping and giving their time out of love. Truly a blessing !! 🙏
The way those horses trust Titus? Priceless! Very dangerous circumstances, thank God they forfeit complete surrender to his guidance. Like earth & God! Much Power requires a better path tho, Titus 🥹 that’s a ton of horses!! God Bless you as you plan these logging adventures! Amen & amen 🦋💜🦋
The cheastnut is such a braveheart but idk if the dark bay should be called Standstill 🤣cuz he is the eager jumpstart to every log pull 🥹🥹🥹 Titus! I’ve been in horses all my life and those animals are a precious 💎! Protect them like your Father does you 🥹💜🦋
Their names are Greatheart & Standfast ❤️
@@Titus.Morris.Extras well! I’m all mixed up 🤣 regardless, they make an awesome team, that’s for sure. A lot of work goes into a team like this. God bless you all 🥹🦋💜
We can feel the joy and excitement you have with your beautiful horses. It’s contagious!❤
Ahh Titus I love your life how Samson found you and the love you have for the wilderness ❤ stay safe big love from the UK XX
Enjoy watching you all today this Christmas Eve glad you did this with out injury or harm to the horses. I think in time wisdom and the lord will guide you and teach you more on the how to’s of logging as I think we all learn everyday
Wow that was incredible when the chain snapped and the horses took off full tilt down the hill through the trees!! Those are some amazing horses there Titus! Such beautiful creatures!
I love how you stop to pray and ask jahovah for discernment
You are an inspiration
Great information you are sharing. I did get all shook up when your beautiful horses took off. So thankful everything turned out well 🙏
I love these horses.
Where is the kind gentleman from Connecticut?Did he leave? These volunteers are great humans for real!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us and your work. God bless.
Blessings to TITUS and all here......🙏🙏🙏✝️
God is good all the time. Titus you are amazing and so are the horses
Those horses are incredible. So well trained and trusting
Much love and blessings to the volunteers but Titus seems to be taking the risk. We all love and care for him. Thank you for your safety advice.
Your prayer was enlightening. We should always include our Lord even in your daily work!
21:00 that right there is how you lose a leg, I understand Titus is a man well versed in the world and has knowledge but that was very risky. You know 39:58, falling pieces of the tree.. Titus said he prayed for Gods protection today but just be mindful on this: God gives us the knowledge to protect ourselves using intellect and that is how in this case he protects us, not to wilfully push on taking chances then thanking him when we get lucky. There are lessons to be learned here for sure.
I absolutely love Titus's enthusiasm and I am watching to learn as I have bought 4 acres of woodland and a pony, but I agree, if asking God for advice, best spend some time listening to His reply 😊
Titus- ever heard of the Three Stooges? Look it up. You will be badly injured in time if you continue with these practices. All should have eye protection, ear protection, and a little common sense wouldn’t hurt - you could’ve broken both legs several times in this event.
He gave ear plugs at the beginning of the video. As for the rest....when you truly believe in God you don't have as many worries as the rest of humanity.
@@jboz5130 Still flesh and bone though, unfortunately.
At that 39:00 mark, they cut that entire tree without ever looking up other than from the cameramans warning..... that dropping down to one knee and walking under the fall side was killing me, too.
I genuinely hope someone who lives close to him will reach out and help him learn his way around logging( safely).
The whole world needs a big prayer.
I thought 56 minutes of watching logging hmm,but I watched and enjoyed every minute of this interesting video ❤
Love the video.. Educational and the scenery is BEATUTIFUL.... Much Love
Thanks for the videos and the uplifting messages.
I'm new to your channel..what your doing building is great..let the men there help not just watch you..he who treats a friend as an equal letting anothers knowledge be respected will reap greater rewards..
God Bless. Excellent advice. Love the Titus/God lead series.
I really enjoy your channel!
Please take your time and read the trees. Look forward to seeing more and thanks for the laughs !!
God bless!!
Logging with horses can be extremely dangerous. And it's generally recommended to wear chaps specifically designed for logging when using that chain saw. The horses moving off fast like they did wasn't very safe either , and Titus jumping over the log . The saying is, " Its not a question of if things go south, but when. " It's almost a guarentee that at some point the unexpected will happen. Rock steady, quiest horses, staying clear of the moving log, making the length of each log manageable, etc. I appreciate the desire to harvest your own logs, personally, I love working with a team of horses as partners but it's been drilled into my head that safety is paramount, all the time. For you, your fellow workers and your team. Thank God you prayed more than once.
I think the most important safety gear for cutting in the woods is a hardhat with face shield. The DAY I bought my helmet/shield/ear muff combo helmet, a good sized branch fell when I was clearing a path and hit the ear muff, probably woulda taken my ear off. I too pray when I go into the woods to cut :)
That was a tough spot on the hillside - honestly can't believe everyone walked away in one piece. Pulleys ropes, straps - anything to stay a long way away from the log is how I try to work cause yup, too many unpredictable forces in the wood. I cannot even imagine working with horses like this. Good for y'all that do!
I've been cutting for forty-two years. You are absolutely correct. The unexpected will happen. As prepared as you might be, it's dangerous work.
I come from a family of builders. I cringed so hard at some of what’s going on. Even down to the permit fight. Things must be built to code when working with public buildings. No safety gear what so ever. And thenyou get into signed waivers for the ppl working and staying on his land. Has he done anything to protect himself? Is he well insured.?I know ppl think nothing bad can happen. Until it does and the hospital bills plus lawsuits take over.
@@soniczoo yeah you can't imagine working like a man cuz you're a coward, get the hell out of here
Titus seems to really enjoy "teaching" and being the center of attention. The sad thing is many people trust he knows what he is talking about but he is very ignorant. Not just about horse logging but scriptural teachings and more.
they are amazing........good job titus n team
Thank you for sharing this work. This video taught me so much. So much wisdom and beauty are in this video. Titus Morris, you have skills and strength. Much respect and thanks to you and your team.
I really would like to see Titus think this process out before rushing it. Cut a path clear, cut the tree in half and make it so much easier. He just seems to get at such a fast pace, he has no time to think it out. Just a thought. Great job boyzzzzz.
ps you know I think this is the only show I have ever seen when something gets difficult someone gets down on their knees and prays for god to help them amen I wish their would be more shows like that hey I would wonder if they pick up your show at cbn. To start a trend among different people with videos and the prayer like this is so needed right now.
Agreed!
Your horses are beautifully trained to be calm and confident
This is beautiful to see in 2023
Kept my heart racing thats forsure.. good job titus and friends.. you team is absolutely beautiful so healthy so intelligent.. and hard working.. may God bless you greatly .. in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus our Christ and savior
I just zoned out watching your fam n friends work together without anger. So rad
An adventure indeed ! What an enjoyable video. Those horses worked hard and so did the men. Great job ! And I'm so glad for all of you that the horses got lodged in the woods and weren't able to book-it back to the barn. Hope you find your chain and that it's still usable ! Happy New Year !
What a wonderful and amazing gentlemen we all need to learn from this man his wisdom his love and yes his amazing patients in his everyday life!!!!!!! You go titans!!!!!!! 😊😊😊
Titus you are such an inspiration. It is the 1st of January '24 here in Australia. My garden hasn't been tended to for a long time as my husband was very sick for a couple of years then I hurt my back. This morning I got up and planted some lettuce, coriander, marigold, chives and parsley. I stopped after an hour as I am still recovering but what you said in your video with Peter made so much sense. I related to it so much. I have plans to plant some more and tend my fruit trees which are sulking a bit due to neglect. I hope and pray you continue with you beautiful journey which I will continue to follow from the other side of the world. Love to all of you over there. God Bless.
🤗❤️🙏
Shoutout to Eric grrrreat job bro excellent job with camera you are the man for this . Officially cameraman from now on not saying Stephanie dint do a good job but you are the one for the position
Titus is so well balanced. In all ways. Love and blessings!
Ol blackie just goes when he's ready, huh. He a little reckless like titus 😅. Thank GOD for His protection.
Titus we all make matakes. Ya'll got the job done without any injuries🙂. I do hope you treat your horses well at the end if the day. They sure do wirk hard. Please make sure they both are relieved of work and saddle materials; rub down fed and gived a nice place to sleep at night😊🙏🏽🦋🍎
The progress on the house of prayer is going great, I hope the inspection goes well. I pray safety over everyone
Probably the realest content you'll ever see on UA-cam 👍
I love you guys man keep it up dude keep it up and do what you’re doing. I think you’re doing the right thing you’re trying to live on your own and do your things your way so waking up 9 to 5 you wake up 95 whatever earlier, did your things you need to do to fix your homestead? I respect that, and it takes a lot of guts to do what you’re doing so keep it on up man. Love you if I had the money to give to you to Build, build the stuff up for you. I would’ve been but I got you pennies in the road together like I said, but I’m here praying for you but I’ll give you thumbs up and I’ll leave message for you. I hope that helped. Amen.
2 beautiful horses…..❤
Thank You, Good Lord, for keeping them safe. 🙏🏼
You Go Titus!! Blessings from Dianne from Ohio!
Hello Mr. Titus wow that's a lot of work, Titus you keep going don't give up. because God is with you and everything is going to be fine. about the permit about everything, God never abandoned us he's always with us. Thank you for the video may God bless you Titus also may God bless the people surrounding you and helping you. God bless all of you, a big hug to Stephanie, and her family. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❣️❣️❤️❤️
This was some seriously high octane entertainment for all the wrong reasons. I love you Titus, and I believe in you and your mission brother, but PLEASE I beg of you BE CAREFUL!!! You and the horses weren't injured, and that is truly a blessing, God is on your side that's for sure!
Wow I’m impressed at how smart horses are !!
Interesting watching from the beginning and following along in the next few it will all come together.
Very informative 👍
Thank you!
Those horses are amazing!
Hello again from the heart ❤️ of Illinois USA 🇺🇸

Brave man...and patient
Pretty exciting.
Thanks for sharing !
Thank you Titus a true Godly man!
😂 The Horses Are Pretty Smart And Strong To!! Amazing To See How Strong They Are!! Beautiful Country There
This was cool to watch
I Cut my first tree down today not 1 hour after watching this video. Thanks for the tips!
❤️❤️❤️
Good morning blessings from Dunlap Tennessee
Titus I loved the video man.God blessed me by coming across it to watch. I had to laugh but it really made my day. But I really think that God needs to bless you and keep you out of logging for your own good. Maybe it would be a lot simpler if you cut the logs down to size and use only one horse and save the double tree for plowing purposes. I quite doubt that 150 foot log is going to fit on the saw mill. But really enjoyed the video and the man above looked out for you. I look forward to the next one. God bless you. 😅
Stand fast has sure grown since I first started fallowing Titus
