Thanks for all the support, and what guys like yourself and Adam do for our industry. Chris and I are really fortunate to have guys like yourself and other youtubers to help our business' grow. Happy New Year!!!
I grew up in the country, climbing trees, building a fort in the woods, playing hide and seek in a corn field, the fun we had as children was endless. I still live in the country and would not change a thing. I enjoyed this video and meeting both Adam's. Thanks Mike!
I love the country. My wife and I bought my parents house when they moved to Arizona. I remember when I was a teenager renting the movie "Children Of The Corn" and then trying to get my brothers and sisters to play hide and seek in the corn field next door. LMAO, I guess you know that didn't happen any more.
My first firewood channel was Outdoors With The Morgans only because I searched ‘growing grass in the shade’. Since then, I’ve subscribed to Joe’s Ohio Wood Burner and Adam’s Hometown Acres. I enjoy watching you all ‘work’, but the quality of life content is the real ‘why’ I stay tuned. 👊🏻
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power - I actually had a landscaper use a special piece of equipment to plant under the soil. More sophisticated than a slit seeder. I lost about 70% of the beautiful grass from the spring, but will over seed next spring. That’s pretty much what Mike’s advice was......you have to keep attending to it each year. I went from bare ground , so I’m pleased.
I found Mike when I was researching RK tractors and trying to decide what I wanted and needed. Kept watching and learned about using the tools, etc. I found Adam when I started researching Kioti tractors. Ended up buying a Kioti CK2610HST. Ive learned a lot from both of you and thank you for your contribution to the UA-cam community. I probably won't start a firewood business but learning how to manage my little 4.5 acre wooded lot. Thanks guys!
We live on 30 acres ,really did not get full appreciation for the land untill I got into cutting firewood for my outside wood boiler. What may seem to some to be a chore , to me , has become a part of my life that not only sustains my warm home and healthy lifestyle it gives me peace and and stability in a world that sometimes seems turned upside down. Patrick
Same here. I bought a place with 25 acres of hardwood forest in France (hornbeam and oak, with an overgrown hazel understory). I've spent the last few weeks cutting, dragging and splitting next year's firewood by hand (axe and handsaw). It's lockdown. What else am I going to do during lockdown?! Love it
This day is starting off great. It's nice to see people getting along with the same interests. Everytime you hear anymore from a lot of people something is wrong or there is something else wrong. What a great way to start the day. Happy tractor folks ain't it wonderful. Thanks for sharing Mike
Glad to see that you and Adam met. I've followed his channel for some time. Hadn't thought of it that way but a "Mike Morgan starter kit" sounds just about right.
Hey man, you know they do make tarps for that trailer or even here in Tn when we know its gonna Rain/ snow we just raise the bed and chock it. It saves time on your back
I have been watching out doors with the Morgan’s for about a year, and popping into Adams channel for about 6 months. Both are worth while watching, and I’m not afraid to admit that I’m subbed to both! Happy New Years guys!
I found your channel while doing research on which tractor I was going to buy, eight months later I have a kubota L 3901 and my own UA-cam channel with over 1000 subscribers! Mike and Melissa, you are truly inspirational and although I was raised doing firewood and the “finer things in life” my entire life, it’s fun to be able to share my experiences with others via UA-cam! Have a happy new year!
Didn't know I could blame you for the cost of land, tractors, attachments! You did influence my purchase of our RK37. Love spending time on our 27 acre plot.
I was considering buying rural land before I started watching Morgans, but actually bought the land, tractor, buildings, sawmill, etc., etc., after I began watching Mike. I have to admit I'm into it for significantly more than $350K; no regrets.
This ole henpecked farmer in Alabama says keep all that snow up NAWTH! We get 2 inches every 5 years. That two inches paralyzes the whole state. Enjoyed the video! Y’all have a big ole good-un!
Just watched this for the second time after about a year. Mike, your channel has really grown just since last year. Really something to see! It’s nice to see Adam’s channel grow so much as well. I’ve said this many times, but I really enjoy when you do interviews with other folks. It great to see you mentor others with their channels as well. 👍👍
💥 Nice to see your visit with Adam, I watch him also. We are also looking for some land to purchase but there isn’t much available around us. We need to make a change from where we’re at. *Keep on tractoring!*
The first video of Outdoors with the Morgans I watched was about buying property about 1 1/2 years ago. It took about 6 months after that and my wife and I purchased a home on 90 acres in southern Indiana. Love the videos and the inspiration!
Love the video. My wife got a big kick out of the $350k story. We already had the land, so only around $100k, but same story. I was pulled along down the Mike Morgan rabbit hole as well...! And have never looked back. Love the outdoors. All I can say is Thank You! Living in Northern California.
Southern California born and raised...now in rural southern Oregon. Although I'm on only 5 acres, I couldn't agree with both you and Adam more...being out in nature is good for the soul. Processing fire wood has become one of my favorite activities and living in a rural setting forces you to be more independent and learn new skills.
Thanks Mike. I am only on 12 acres but whenever I have a bad day I just wander around my piece of the world. When you are outdoors, everyday is a mental health day! Cheers, Adam
It was so nice to see two of my favorite UA-cam channel people together. Made me feel good about my choices. I would love to hear your thoughts on the Eastonmade Axis. That is the wood splitter we are buying next. I like the upright posture positioning so it doesn’t hurt my back like the one we have and I like the precise way you can cut wood without the waste. I know you are partial to Wolf Ridge and understandably so. But that Axis is a game changer in my opinion.
I’ve yet to see or watch any videos on the eastonmade. We have a wolf ridge 28 ton commercial. About 59 hours so far on it in a few months. Absolute game changer. We don’t have the conveyor though. Just an old hay conveyor that we barely paid anything for.
I watch both of you guys on UA-cam. Interestingly the guys who I have settled on watching all seem to meet up at some point and this gives me a warm feeling because that tells me that I have made good choices in my subscriptions. ❤
I have to admit, seeing this video posted this morning made me pretty excited to watch it tonight. I’ve been a subscriber to this channel for about 2.5 years now maybe even longer! I came across Adam about a year ago and thought to myself “hey this channel reminds me of outdoors with the Morgan’s” and low and behold! Two great channels and great guys right here. Thanks to both of you and your family’s for keeping up with the channels and making great videos!
How about using the cordless leaf blower to clear out the snow in the dump trailer? Seemed like the snow was light and fluffy. How did you like the Easton vertical log splitter?
I'm right there with you guys about being close with nature. I grew up with a forest as my playground. Most every free moment I was in the woods, I had 2 treehouses one big rock fort and we dug out about a 15 foot long section of the creek near a tall bank so we could jump off bank and at the other side we had a rope where we could swing out and drop in. We, my brother, my cousin and 3 other guys, neighbors, all close to same age did a lot of camping also. It is really rewarding being away from trespassing in yards, traffic on roads, confined fenced in yards...to be out in the wide open forest is amazing. So many things to do. Grown up now there aren't many open forest close in Hickory, it's really crowded now so vacation time...the beach - 5 hr drive, hot, crowded, expensive...no thanks...30 min to 1 hr we are in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. No better place in the world! My children still take their families up there, my oldest son even bought a big camper and keeps it set up there in the Daniel Boone Campgrounds. Mike, you inspire so many people, more than you know, I'm sure. And none of the UA-cam work is a have to, you're doing it because you enjoy it and by that you bring so much pleasure literally around the world! Thank you my friend. We've never met in person, but I see you every day, and you just are my friend! Absolutely love your channel, Melissa's channel, and Levi and Kate's channel. Forever subscribed! 👍❤
By the way- just bought my F150 4x4 with the Ecoboost engine and trailer towing package. Was very glad to hear Adam talk about it. Looking fwd to getting a side by side and boat not too far down the road now that I am officially Retired!
You cost me even more than that! Very similar story, we lived on the freeway and wanted to move. I found this channel and now we have some acreage, a tractor, a dump trailer and I'm looking for a side by side. I dont sell firewood, but I do process a lot to heat my home. Love both channels, thanks for putting out the content!
My wife says I went down that Outdoors with the Morgan's rabbit hole when I bought my tractor last year. Oh and then its all the attachments that go with it. Work smarter not harder!
It is a great feeling to be out in the country and suck in a breath of real air while you look at the sky and the trees. I noticed neither of you park the dump trailers in the up position. I think a 4x4 about four feet long, between the bed and the frame will give you enough lift, but it will still be low enough to be stable when its parked, especially if it points to the sun, its usually empty and dry when you hook it up. The 4x4 prop takes all the pressure off the cylinder.
What a great video, Mike! I love seeing the other people who share the lifestyle we all adore! I've been watching Adam's channel for quite a while now, and I agree, he seems like a great guy! 👍
Just bought 4 totes today here in North Carolina for firewood. Thought that would be a great way to separate and store different kinds of wood - oak, hickory, cherry, etc. The gentleman I got mine from cut openings in both sides and left the top ring in place for support. I am sure there are many ways to configure them for firewood storage.
My best days are in the woods working. I put a load of wood out at the entrance to my land regularly and give it away. I laughed when he said he had an orange tractor (Kioti) I'm on my 3rd one, love it.
Good morning and thank you for being so selfless and positive. It is refreshing to see like minded people doing what they love to do. I watch both channels and enjoy them. Take care.
Country boy here.....no other place to live. Split a cord of red oak today....living the life enjoying each and every day. Mike and other channels like his express to others how much we value this way of life. Don't stop......
Looks like I have to start hitting the bell on channels as I’ve not been seeing your videos for awhile. We have been thinking about getting IBC totes since we watched another video you did about them 2-3 years ago. Best of luck to Adam & his family on their adventure! We have a similar story. Sick of the city, and just packed up and left. Best decision we ever made ❤️
I’ll also add that our experience is the same. I suffered the worst loss that anyone could imagine, and I still manage to find joy in each day. I’d say the only reason I can do that is because we live in the middle of the forest. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ we love what you do, and I hope that 2021 is an amazing year for everyone
Didn't realize Adam was 6'5". Im the same age and build and 6'1". Im glad he got the pickaroon. It will save his back for sure before its too late. Im laying on the floor now on holidays from a muscle year 4 years ago. I was splitting wood by hand out of boredom over the last few days and was bending way too much. Thanks for the video Mike.
When you were with Adam and he talked about how you changed his life and him moving out of the city, I had to kind of laugh. I am originally from a small town and then moved out to a farm. Upon graduating high school, I joined the navy and later ended up in San Diego. I knew when I retired, I would return home in Missouri. Dealing with all of the traffic and crime of San Diego. I now laugh with my friends in San Diego when we talk about traffic. The only traffic problem I incurred here in Missouri since moving back is right before the state fair, the highway patrol were escorting three tractors across one of the two main roadways of the town. I actually had to sit for one cycle of the traffic light as they escorted the tractors across the roadway. The air is cleaner, the people are friendlier and if you ever need help, someone is always there.
Greg from northern Michigan. Mike used to be six foot five too, until gravity took over 😀 Unfortunately it happens to many of us as we get older ... Nice video.
Thanks for sharing with us Mike. Been watching Adam and his family for almost his first video. He’s doing a good job and growing. He couldn’t have picked a better person to watch and get ideas from. Thank you both for the many hours of entertainment you and your families have provided . Fred 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great video Mike! Adam is a great guy. Love both of your channels. I love your pole barn, wondering if we should repair our 1800's historic barn or start from scratch, yours is incredible
I couldn't agree more with this episode unmasking what many of us has done. We now have another 50 acre farm full of marketable timber with a off-grid cabin and a 39hp Kubota along with a honda 500 4 Wheeler.
Hello from Southwest Ohio and thank you for making these videos. Always inspiring! I'm a groundwork guy but watching y'all do your thing makes me want to get a log splitter. Cheers!
Great country. Don't need snow. We are 122°F summer max. Ave 11?°F winter 32°F low 50°F ave. House is paid for Retired USAF AND USBR PLUS SS. 2-3" AVERAGE RAIN FALL. Still love what you do. In our youth we drove north 3 hours to Flagstaff to cut our fire. $200 per cord for oak and alligator juniper. Plus a quantity of beers. Have a winter!!!.
This video made me smile as soon as I saw you two together. You should have people send in pics of their mike Morgan starter kits. I know I have one ever since I searched for tractor reviews a long time ago and found your channel.
Good morning from NC! About 30F here and really clear out. Awaiting the grandkids for the day. When you said a guy claimed you cost him $350k, I figured it was someone who decided to buy property. And furthermore, it was going to be in good fun. I’m glad I was right! I’ll check out his channel. Y’all have a good day!
Adam sure has a fantastic view of his deck there Mike, there will always be something special about living in the countryside no matter where you are on this wonderful planet 🌎 of ours.
So nice to see you sharing with other like minded wood lovers Mike. I watch Adam's channel and I like his way of doing business. He is an accountant I think and it shows in how he operates. What does every action cost??
Oh Wow! This is great! Having both you and Adam in the same video, You guys are awesome. Makes me want to have a Firewood business "Cheryl's She Firewood"
As soon as you’d mentioned a guy said you cost him 350k I knew it was Adam. I actually started watching his channel first after which I found OWTMs about a year ago. How did you like the Axis splitter Mike ? Great interaction between two gentlemen who have common interests. Stay safe
Watching your latest video has made me realize that we should have made the move that you did years ago, but it is to late now time has past us by we are in our latter years and we can only look at all the things that you and your family get up to. Keep up the good work and stay safe and well.
I could also lay some blame on Mike along with Nathan at Out of the Woods for showcasing the shenanigans we should all enjoy. Fantastic for having Adam on.
I don’t know how he was using that toyota, but I used to process 20 cord a year with a Tacoma and previously older pickups. I even towed a f450 from a power line right of way. By far the toughest trucks pound for pound, just limited with their size. Great videos, wish I had time to film and post!
I Remember when Adam started his UA-cam channel. I told him his videos reminded me of yours Mike. Great channel both you guys have. It’s great that you guys do a combined video together.
That’s great meeting up with Adam! Here I thought there’d be lawyers and court dates, arguing, name calling etc., etc.!! LOL! Adams got a great story, glad you had a great visit! Love from Northwest Indiana! 🙏🏻👏👍💗🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Northwest Indiana -- isn't that now a bedroom community for Chicago commuters?! I have a customer in St John and the rural areas there are turning into sprawling housing developments like crazy.
Awesome. I'm getting closer to my dream of owning acreage too. I grew up in the suburbs, but have been living on a little 5 acre plot for the last 28 years.
I let my dad spend the green on most the motorized toys while growing up ... I did split the costs of our 1965 IH tractor as I mowed lawns in the hood so i could buy cars 🚘 and 🚗 and motorcycles 🏍 I still have his blue and white Homelite XL 12 saw, just no trees to cut down on our small lot. Here’s to 2021 being a better year for the Morgan’s and all of us that have or used to have a similar life style.
It's fun to see you getting together with other outdoor channels, Mike. Kindred spirits, for sure. Some time ago I sent you a message about the Eastonmade log splitters. Neat to see you trying one...what did you think??
This was a good one Mike. Up here in NH we get a lot more snow and at our camp up near the Canadian border we get smacked. I cut a lot of wood on other peoples property taking down scary stuff. Like keeping an eye on you and Adam I'll be watching you also. Stay safe and make 2021 a great year!!!
I couldn't agree more with the 'closer to nature' comment. I purchased a lot across from my father-in-law in Eastern PA (I live in NYC), and I look forward to spending my off days clearing land and cutting firewood with him to make room for an Amish-built garage I am having delivered. I own a home in Alabama with a two story shed/barn, and I thoroughly enjoyed working in it when I lived there. Don't get me wrong... I enjoy my indoor desk job, but that's not my hobby. It pays the bills. Being in the woods is my ultimate enjoyment and I love playing with the 'toys' that go along with the work.
This is a wonderful example of just how much you have impacted a LOT of people❣️ My wife and I are over the top happy with our e Lectric bikes from your information provided on #866! BTW - what is that new wood splitter about??? Thank you for all you do! Marcus from Chesapeake VA.
Yup addictive, we bought 14 here in Michigan in may of 18 and built a cabin and just bought the neighbors 5. Cheap land and lots of wildlife here in MI, Loving it. Headed to DC next week to support the continuation of this lifestyle.
I have a half ton pick-up that I have hauled 3500 lbs. 260 miles. That is more than I ever hauled in my 3/4 ton. I did have to stop two times to adjust the air in the rear tires because they began to overheat and gain air pressure.
Mike, both you and Adam were inspirations for me moving out to a place in the country. I always dreamed about it even before but y'all definitely inspired me watching you enjoy the finer things in life! Thanks for sharing, I knew y'all would meet up sooner or later.
Good morning everyone. 30º in Kansas City now. Snow is coming in from the west and the morning news is making a big deal out of it. As for me I’ll watch it change over to rain while enjoying coffee and then head to the Stihl store in the big heavy Suburban. Stay safe, be humble & kind and Have a day.
@@oldmanfred8676 Personally I enjoy the snow and when the ground is frozen. Just wish I was at the tree farm so I can enjoy the outdoors hunting durning the alternative season with my 300 blk pistol.
Mike Morgan has SAVED me THOUSANDS of hours AND dollars! I was gonna start a UA-cam channel, but through some parallel universe magic, every time I have a project to do, something to fix, a road to fix, a pipe to bury, a deer blind to build, etc.... all I have to do is wait a couple weeks and, sure enough, Mike puts out a video about nearly the exact same thing. This channel is like a Godsend, saves me hours and hours of filming and editing time, thousands of DOLLARS of video equipment, drones, whatever.....AND here is the real kicker: I ALREADY had a pool! Life couldn't possibly be better, and Outdoors With the Morgans is partially to blame for it. Lol...
Thanks for all the support, and what guys like yourself and Adam do for our industry. Chris and I are really fortunate to have guys like yourself and other youtubers to help our business' grow. Happy New Year!!!

So how's the grass in the shade?

He can say you cost him 350,000 but he owes you for his quality of life that you gave him. Happy New year Morgan family hey Hunter
Hey man, you know they do make tarps for that trailer or even here in Tn when we know its gonna Rain/ snow we just raise the bed and chock it. It saves time on your back
😂 the Mike Morgan starter kit. That's funny.
Adam (IBC tote Adam) had on an Andrew Camarata hoodie. Too funny! Love that.
I have been watching out doors with the Morgan’s for about a year, and popping into Adams channel for about 6 months. Both are worth while watching, and I’m not afraid to admit that I’m subbed to both! Happy New Years guys!
P.s. your going to be blamed for this type of stuff a lot, Keep it up!

Love the quote: The closer you are to nature the happier you are. 💯
Great seeing my 2 favorite youtube firewood guys in the same video. Thanks for all the info and entertainment, guys.
Awesome! It’s great that you guys were able to meet up, sure enjoy both of your videos! Thanks for taking us along!

Agree, only 3.5 here, but my neighbor has 20 that he says I can enjoy whenever I need to. Can't put a price on that.
It was so nice to see two of my favorite UA-cam channel people together. Made me feel good about my choices. I would love to hear your thoughts on the Eastonmade Axis.

I like both channels as well,and also the splitters,just watching though I think I would like the wolfridge conveyor because of the height

It’s good to see two good guys succeed on UA-cam. I’ve followed both of these guys when they were much smaller. Congrats on the exposure, Adam!
I would agree that Outdoors With The Morgans has inspired many people world wide. I know it had a lot of influence on me getting a Kubota L3901.
Heck yeah! Splitting firewood is absolutely a stress reliever. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Mike, started with video 12 been watching ever since . firewood and Kubota brought me here . still watching in snowy and white Michigan
"there's no parallel parking out here".........great bumper sticker
I have to admit, seeing this video posted this morning made me pretty excited to watch it tonight. I’ve been a subscriber to this channel for about 2.5 years now maybe even longer! I came across Adam about a year ago and thought to myself “hey this channel reminds me of outdoors with the Morgan’s” and low and behold! Two great channels and great guys right here. Thanks to both of you and your family’s for keeping up with the channels and making great videos!

I'm right there with you guys about being close with nature. I grew up with a forest as my playground. Most every free moment I was in the woods, I had 2 treehouses one big rock fort and we dug out about a 15 foot long section of the creek near a tall bank so we could jump off bank and at the other side we had a rope where we could swing out and drop in.

Long - but worth the read! I have similar experiences growing up.
Seems like them two fellows are some good people. Thanks for sharing. Have a great day. 🇺🇸
Good to see Adam on the channel, been a subscriber of his channel for about a year but didn't realize OWTM was his inspiration... Good to know.
By the way- just bought my F150 4x4 with the Ecoboost engine and trailer towing package. Was very glad to hear Adam talk about it. Looking fwd to getting a side by side and boat not too far down the road now that I am officially Retired!
Great story. I agree with the “closer to nature the happier”.
Absolutely!
That was nice to see you two together, I watch both channels all the time. Happy New Year!
You cost me even more than that! Very similar story, we lived on the freeway and wanted to move. I found this channel and now we have some acreage, a tractor, a dump trailer and I'm looking for a side by side. I dont sell firewood, but I do process a lot to heat my home. Love both channels, thanks for putting out the content!
Great to see you guys together in the video! Congrats Adam! PA UA-camr pride!
My wife says I went down that Outdoors with the Morgan's rabbit hole when I bought my tractor last year. Oh and then its all the attachments that go with it. Work smarter not harder!
"MIKE MORGAN STARTER KIT" WOW! sounds like you need to trademark that. So funny!. Wonderful video!!
It is a great feeling to be out in the country and suck in a breath of real air while you look at the sky and the trees. I noticed neither of you park the dump trailers in the up position. I think a 4x4 about four feet long, between the bed and the frame will give you enough lift, but it will still be low enough to be stable when its parked, especially if it points to the sun, its usually empty and dry when you hook it up. The 4x4 prop takes all the pressure off the cylinder.
What a great video, Mike! I love seeing the other people who share the lifestyle we all adore! I've been watching Adam's channel for quite a while now, and I agree, he seems like a great guy! 👍
Thanks John
Just bought 4 totes today here in North Carolina for firewood. Thought that would be a great way to separate and store different kinds of wood - oak, hickory, cherry, etc. The gentleman I got mine from cut openings in both sides and left the top ring in place for support. I am sure there are many ways to configure them for firewood storage.
My best days are in the woods working.
I put a load of wood out at the entrance to my land regularly and give it away.
I laughed when he said he had an orange tractor (Kioti) I'm on my 3rd one, love it.
Senior firewood hound and I really enjoyed your adventure today. Nice to see you out and about with the Adams. 😂😂
Good morning and thank you for being so selfless and positive. It is refreshing to see like minded people doing what they love to do. I watch both channels and enjoy them. Take care.
Country boy here.....no other place to live. Split a cord of red oak today....living the life enjoying each and every day. Mike and other channels like his express to others how much we value this way of life.
Don't stop......
Looks like I have to start hitting the bell on channels as I’ve not been seeing your videos for awhile. We have been thinking about getting IBC totes since we watched another video you did about them 2-3 years ago. Best of luck to Adam & his family on their adventure! We have a similar story. Sick of the city, and just packed up and left. Best decision we ever made ❤️
I’ll also add that our experience is the same. I suffered the worst loss that anyone could imagine, and I still manage to find joy in each day. I’d say the only reason I can do that is because we live in the middle of the forest. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ we love what you do, and I hope that 2021 is an amazing year for everyone
Didn't realize Adam was 6'5". Im the same age and build and 6'1". Im glad he got the pickaroon. It will save his back for sure before its too late. Im laying on the floor now on holidays from a muscle year 4 years ago. I was splitting wood by hand out of boredom over the last few days and was bending way too much. Thanks for the video Mike.
I live in Pgh and travel to cranberry all the time, grove city and beyond up to Warren
Seriously 2 of my favorite channels on YT! Great video! Keep up the great work Mike and Adam!
Excellent video! Cool to see the two channels come together! Thank you!
Adam Foster - Hancock, Maine
When you were with Adam and he talked about how you changed his life and him moving out of the city, I had to kind of laugh. I am originally from a small town and then moved out to a farm. Upon graduating high school, I joined the navy and later ended up in San Diego. I knew when I retired, I would return home in Missouri. Dealing with all of the traffic and crime of San Diego. I now laugh with my friends in San Diego when we talk about traffic. The only traffic problem I incurred here in Missouri since moving back is right before the state fair, the highway patrol were escorting three tractors across one of the two main roadways of the town. I actually had to sit for one cycle of the traffic light as they escorted the tractors across the roadway. The air is cleaner, the people are friendlier and if you ever need help, someone is always there.
What's in the water, you all are amazing. I wish my community was friendly as yours.
Greg from northern Michigan. Mike used to be six foot five too, until gravity took over 😀 Unfortunately it happens to many of us as we get older ... Nice video.
Two of my favorite firewood folks!
Thanks for sharing with us Mike. Been watching Adam and his family for almost his first video. He’s doing a good job and growing. He couldn’t have picked a better person to watch and get ideas from. Thank you both for the many hours of entertainment you and your families have provided . Fred 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Fred! I knew you were an OWTM fan
Mike way to pack the totes into dump trailer!!
Boy that splitter is Fast!!🏃♂️👍👊
Great video Mike! Adam is a great guy. Love both of your channels. I love your pole barn, wondering if we should repair our 1800's historic barn or start from scratch, yours is incredible
Shout out to Adam (IBC Tote) Fisher and his awesome A.C. hoodie!
A bunch of us here in Maine have that same apparel!
I couldn't agree more with this episode unmasking what many of us has done. We now have another 50 acre farm full of marketable timber with a off-grid cabin and a 39hp Kubota along with a honda 500 4 Wheeler.
Hello from Southwest Ohio and thank you for making these videos. Always inspiring! I'm a groundwork guy but watching y'all do your thing makes me want to get a log splitter. Cheers!
Great country. Don't need snow. We are 122°F summer max. Ave 11?°F winter 32°F low 50°F ave. House is paid for Retired USAF AND USBR PLUS SS. 2-3" AVERAGE RAIN FALL.
Still love what you do. In our youth we drove north 3 hours to Flagstaff to cut our fire. $200 per cord for oak and alligator juniper. Plus a quantity of beers. Have a winter!!!.
Two of my favorite channels. Glad you guys know each other.
This video made me smile as soon as I saw you two together. You should have people send in pics of their mike Morgan starter kits. I know I have one ever since I searched for tractor reviews a long time ago and found your channel.
Good morning from NC! About 30F here and really clear out. Awaiting the grandkids for the day.
When you said a guy claimed you cost him $350k, I figured it was someone who decided to buy property. And furthermore, it was going to be in good fun. I’m glad I was right! I’ll check out his channel. Y’all have a good day!
House, land, truck, tractor, dump trailer and side by side. It adds up quick haha. Thanks John
Definitely!
Great to see other local people out denoting their property, and always nice to meet other like minded folks.
Adam sure has a fantastic view of his deck there Mike, there will always be something special about living in the countryside no matter where you are on this wonderful planet 🌎 of ours.
So nice to see you sharing with other like minded wood lovers Mike. I watch Adam's channel and I like his way of doing business. He is an accountant I think and it shows in how he operates. What does every action cost??
I've been following OWTM and Hometown Acres before each of you reached 6 videos and enjoy both. Great to see both of you grow into Internet royalty.
Oh Wow! This is great! Having both you and Adam in the same video, You guys are awesome. Makes me want to have a Firewood business "Cheryl's She Firewood"
As soon as you’d mentioned a guy said you cost him 350k I knew it was Adam. I actually started watching his channel first after which I found OWTMs about a year ago. How did you like the Axis splitter Mike ? Great interaction between two gentlemen who have common interests. Stay safe
Watching your latest video has made me realize that we should have made the move that you did years ago, but it is to late now time has past us by we are in our latter years and we can only look at all the things that you and your family get up to. Keep up the good work and stay safe and well.
I could also lay some blame on Mike along with Nathan at Out of the Woods for showcasing the shenanigans we should all enjoy. Fantastic for having Adam on.
Hey buddy im from Wash Pa myself. Good to see a fellow Pennsylvanian on the tube. Im a farmer and yes winter makes everything slow down.
I don’t know how he was using that toyota, but I used to process 20 cord a year with a Tacoma and previously older pickups. I even towed a f450 from a power line right of way. By far the toughest trucks pound for pound, just limited with their size. Great videos, wish I had time to film and post!
I Remember when Adam started his UA-cam channel. I told him his videos reminded me of yours Mike. Great channel both you guys have. It’s great that you guys do a combined video together.
I like the occasional diversity of your videos Mike. Good interviews! Nice to meet both Adams. Well done!
The two firewood channels I watch meeting up...great video.
That’s great meeting up with Adam! Here I thought there’d be lawyers and court dates, arguing, name calling etc., etc.!! LOL! Adams got a great story, glad you had a great visit! Love from Northwest Indiana! 🙏🏻👏👍💗🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Northwest Indiana -- isn't that now a bedroom community for Chicago commuters?! I have a customer in St John and the rural areas there are turning into sprawling housing developments like crazy.
@@sideskraft yes it is their building out that way like crazy!
Awesome. I'm getting closer to my dream of owning acreage too. I grew up in the suburbs, but have been living on a little 5 acre plot for the last 28 years.
I let my dad spend the green on most the motorized toys while growing up ... I did split the costs of our 1965 IH tractor as I mowed lawns in the hood so i could buy cars 🚘 and 🚗 and motorcycles 🏍 I still have his blue and white Homelite XL 12 saw, just no trees to cut down on our small lot. Here’s to 2021 being a better year for the Morgan’s and all of us that have or used to have a similar life style.
It's fun to see you getting together with other outdoor channels, Mike. Kindred spirits, for sure.
Some time ago I sent you a message about the Eastonmade log splitters. Neat to see you trying one...what did you think??
This was a good one Mike. Up here in NH we get a lot more snow and at our camp up near the Canadian border we get smacked. I cut a lot of wood on other peoples property taking down scary stuff. Like keeping an eye on you and Adam I'll be watching you also. Stay safe and make 2021 a great year!!!
I couldn't agree more with the 'closer to nature' comment. I purchased a lot across from my father-in-law in Eastern PA (I live in NYC), and I look forward to spending my off days clearing land and cutting firewood with him to make room for an Amish-built garage I am having delivered. I own a home in Alabama with a two story shed/barn, and I thoroughly enjoyed working in it when I lived there. Don't get me wrong... I enjoy my indoor desk job, but that's not my hobby. It pays the bills. Being in the woods is my ultimate enjoyment and I love playing with the 'toys' that go along with the work.
Yep. I'm living the same dream. Bought land in Tn in '93. It was pretty cheap then.
This is a wonderful example of just how much you have impacted a LOT of people❣️ My wife and I are over the top happy with our e Lectric bikes from your information provided on #866! BTW - what is that new wood splitter about??? Thank you for all you do! Marcus from Chesapeake VA.
"Mike Morgan Starter Kit! " Funny.
Mike, you do have the toys!
I also came across your channel early on. I have an outdoor wood boiler and burn lots of wood so I watched your firewood videos and now I’m hooked.
Yup addictive, we bought 14 here in Michigan in may of 18 and built a cabin and just bought the neighbors 5. Cheap land and lots of wildlife here in MI, Loving it. Headed to DC next week to support the continuation of this lifestyle.
I have a half ton pick-up that I have hauled 3500 lbs. 260 miles. That is more than I ever hauled in my 3/4 ton. I did have to stop two times to adjust the air in the rear tires because they began to overheat and gain air pressure.
Mike, both you and Adam were inspirations for me moving out to a place in the country. I always dreamed about it even before but y'all definitely inspired me watching you enjoy the finer things in life! Thanks for sharing, I knew y'all would meet up sooner or later.
Good morning everyone. 30º in Kansas City now. Snow is coming in from the west and the morning news is making a big deal out of it. As for me I’ll watch it change over to rain while enjoying coffee and then head to the Stihl store in the big heavy Suburban. Stay safe, be humble & kind and Have a day.
Good morning Phil
Phil and Michael,
I thought as I headed South I would encounter warmer weather!
@@oldmanfred8676 Good Morning Fred, Mike, and Phil. Have a good day gentlemen.
@@oldmanfred8676 Personally I enjoy the snow and when the ground is frozen. Just wish I was at the tree farm so I can enjoy the outdoors hunting durning the alternative season with my 300 blk pistol.
@@rphiliprogers,
I like snow and frozen ground too but I’m looking forward to a little warmer soon.
Mike Morgan has SAVED me THOUSANDS of hours AND dollars! I was gonna start a UA-cam channel, but through some parallel universe magic, every time I have a project to do, something to fix, a road to fix, a pipe to bury, a deer blind to build, etc.... all I have to do is wait a couple weeks and, sure enough, Mike puts out a video about nearly the exact same thing. This channel is like a Godsend, saves me hours and hours of filming and editing time, thousands of DOLLARS of video equipment, drones, whatever.....AND here is the real kicker: I ALREADY had a pool! Life couldn't possibly be better, and Outdoors With the Morgans is partially to blame for it. Lol...
