To have a wife you can work together with outside is a true blessing.
Can't Hunter help with the firewood production in any way?
My wife never helped me. My daughter always said to let her know when I was doing wood. She never helped either. She said I didn't need to do it myself but she was always too tired always had excuses.
You mean his daughter?
@@dennisjohnson5754 Welcom to the club.
That’s why she has an awesome figure cause she works hard gotta respect that and enjoy looking at her.
You won’t find many women around here that will do what this lady does,Sir you are blessed. Nice video.
50 year old Grandma can sure pick up those Logs quick. I’m 40 and I would be huffing and puffing. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for all your hard work, Morgans. We all appreciate it on here!
I have to say, the 2 of you really work well together. Great seeing 2 people that love to do the same things and have a good time doing it.
I love how the wife is doing all the actual work! Haha
Haha yeah I noticed that too!
He is the manager, brain of whole operation, can’t do everything🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣
and tired out after 1/2 done? do you think they can do that 7 cords per day . ? lol this is work for the young..
Took him years to get that beer belly, don't want to screw that up lol
All the time
Great work Mike and Melissa , love watching you guys work together your a great team . Hello Hunter.
Rick Franklin I agree!
That is a GREAT machine Chris and his team makes! Happy to see you guys growing everyday!
I love this channel My dad and I used to cut and sell wood all winter ! You sure bring back a lot of memories ! I used to live in Connecticut ! Now I live here in Mena Arkansas and I don't have to cut wood here !
New subscriber here - joined after watching several great videos. I'm a former logger (faller and skidder operator) and professional forester and worked my way though college running a firewood business in North Idaho. I can definitely relate to your content and have a lot of respect for how hard you guys work. I cut, split and delivered 30-50 cords each Fall, mostly as a one man show. I managed that while going to school full time and working another job on campus. I learned a lot about work flow and efficiency in the process. I'll try to jump in from time to time to share ideas you might be able to use to reduce handling and save your backs. The first thing I'll offer is your idea about getting a tractor mounted winch is a very good one. Definitely a work saver but they add new elements of risk that have to be managed (crush zones, tractor rollover, staying out of the bight of the line, recoil from broken cables, etc.). The best ones allow you to winch logs out of the woods and then lift the end of the log so you can skid it to a landing for processing. Exercise extreme caution on steep ground and avoid winching logs downhill. Logs can away from you fast and take your tractor with then when they go down the hill.
Just outside of Portland, Maine. I've been watching for about a month now. Enjoy watching, sometimes edit for time myself.
I really get a kick when one Tuber mentions another, you mentioning Wranglerstar, Out of the Woods giving you folks a nod.
Lets me know I'm watching the right channels.
Getting into April Wilkerson at the moment as well. Watched her sawmill build.
Well, keep up the good work, I'll keep watching.
Cheers!
EricsArchive live in Maine too
That's kinda the way me and my dad stacked wood at his place. We hauled the tree to the back of the garage,then we cut it into sections and placed them in the log splitter,then they fell into the chute on the conveyor belt up to the house where my dad stacked the wood into the racks. We also had two racks in the garage for the small pot belly stove for the winter months and had two large racks in the basement of the house for that pot belly stove in the so called man cave. We had a large fireplace between the living and dining rooms. One rack on the porch had a large O on the top. That was oak wood for the smoker. My dad loved grilling but I did the smoking. Memorys. But we never ran out of wood when i was growing up
@Hello Mike how are you doing
What also impressed me was how nicely you cleaned the Deere and cutter before returning to Implement company. Prideful!
Hi & greetings from Exmoor in England.....
Its been pretty wet here for the last 2 months but very mild - normally have a few hard frosts and a dusting of snow by now but nothing this year.
We have 36 acres here, with 3 x lakes and a few acres of woodland and use a John Deere 3036E with a Finnish Hakki Pilke wood processor - a combined circular saw, splitting chamber and conveyor. We have a hydraulic splitter for larger timber and are awaiting delivery of a Norwegian, Igland winch so we can pull from deeper on the woods. Like you guys, its a job that me & the wife share.
Wishing you a very happy 2020 - we're pretty excited now we have a strong, new government and can finally get out of the European Union and be a free country again.
Good times ahead......
I got my firewood fix and didn't leave the house!
Nice batch of wood!!!
We keep coming back to your firewood videos. Always informative. Always entertaining
Thanks again, Ted, in south Jersey.
Hi Ted how are you doing 😊
@Hello Ted how are you doing
Just wanted to say watching you two working together and enjoying each other's company is a real hoot ! So much positive energy!
12:15 the man is "spitting" (means staying on the same place a move some levers- and wearing ears proection... and the woman is feeding, carrying and moving all the logs.... I have to marriage... :-)
what show are you watching? i only see one person working!
When i seen all the sawdust flying i knew it was going to be a good video... 2 hours for cutting and splitting and trailer loaded looked like a little more than a cord to me, You make a good fast team. I have to admit i was surprised with the 33 min. Thanks for all your hard work, not just the cutting and splitting but all the camera work too. :)
Great planning Melissa,that headlamp adding additional lighting to the splitting area was a great help.
33:26 is flat moving !
You two Morgans are truly blessed. Continued blessings and joy to you both. Really enjoy your videos.
All I can say is you got a fine-looking firewood partner
Hi, I'm from Northern Ireland and am enjoying your video's very much, grew up of a small farm, but always loved a day with the chain saw and splitting wood, always found it so satisfying, 69 now and still cut logs for my two girls, their wood burners eat it lol. Do wish I had some of the equipment you have and 20 years younger I'd have a ball. Bless you all great stuff.
Melissa definitely needs a mustang convertible to park near the pool for her birthday , be kind friend
@@Morgansunleashed .... Only if it's the New Boss 429 Mustang! 😉 carbuzz.com/news/ford-mustang-boss-429-is-back-in-production-with-815-hp
Enjoy watching your videos. Especially the one's that was supporting the RK equipment. I worked for RK about 7 month's and had to quit due to family health issues. It's a great place to work.
Don't ever think we mind when you to ramble. Its always a good time.Cheers From Oklahoma
you TWO . sorry about that. lol
@Hello Mark how are you doing
Hi there.. My wife and I run a small firewood business in nova scotia. We use both a processor as well as a splitter with conveyor to process 8ft logs into 16 inch firewood. Using our HakkiPilke Greenspeed x42 processor, from the time the wood is loaded on my feed table and processed directly into the truck, 1 cord takes two hours ... and I am not slow (I don't think so anyways). That's with the table always being loaded with wood non stop so the processor has no pause time. Still takes us 2 hrs to load one full cord loosely. Honestly the speed of the wood going into the truck is no slower than in your video. I just cant see how you managed a cord in 30 mins. I have watched your video over and over. It takes a full hour and a half to get one cord into the truck with two splitters going at the same time non stop. I have watched many videos on here showing people using processors and getting 1 cord loaded in an hour. That would be a dream for me. I just can't manage to reach that level of efficiency. With your splitter (and it is a fantastic looking commercial level splitter), one guy splitting, into the conveyor, a 30 min cord does not make any sense at all (to me). Also, your dump trailer is 6x12x2 (is that right?) which is only 144 cf of space. A lose cord should fill at least 35% extra space to account for all those holes. Therefore 128 plus 35% would be approx. 180 cf of storage in your trailer. I am not convinced that you processed a full cord in that video. I would have liked to see a closer view of the wood inside the trailer after you were done. Doesn't really matter though because even if you did 90% of a full cord in 30 mins that still would be amazing. Having said all of that, we do like watching your videos and we really like your splitter and conveyor setup. Cheers from NS !
I can watch her throw logs on that machine all day long LOL great job!
Greetings from Central Wisconsin. My wife and I own and operate a logging and firewood company. Love your channel. Lots of really cool equipment you use. Nice to see you take pride in your equipment not everyone does that. Not cheap to buy. Keep up the good work.
Melissa & Mike you're both awesome...God Bless
I have so much respect for hardworking people.
Love the nerd light Melissa. My wife gives me and my buddy crap about ours all the time, but they’re useful!
upper michigan a small town along lake superior south shore..love watching the milling of the logs.your mill partner is one tough lady. stay on her good side
It's therapeutic just watching the logs being split and love you videos so far! - JL, Toronto, Ontario Canada (new subscriber)
I'm from Toronto.. I live near Jane and Finch. I will never have the need to chop wood, I just need to make it home by the end of the day and I'm a happy camper.
Hi Jack how are you doing 😊
Hi Mike and Melissa,
Always nice to see how much fun you two are having with whatever you're doing!
One of my favorite end-ramblings. :-D
Hello my name is Mike Murphy I’m from South Jersey love your channel it’s nice to see husband and wife working side by side
Lots of equipment and hell of a good helper partner!!! keep kicking
One of the older videos that came up in the suggestion box, enjoyed the memories, great to have a record, for looking back only a short time ago great teamwork was fun to watch
Nice 👍 Job, Team! 33 minutes and 26 seconds to split one (1) Cord of Wood. Impressive! 🤔
It is ok to ramble. It keeps things real and that’s what I love about you guys and I bet most of you viewers would agree. Another great video making firewood. I can’t believe how hard you guys were working and Melissa didn’t even break a sweat. Thanks for sharing, Paul from Texas
Hi how are you doing 😊
love the statement, $100 for Melissa and $7 for you. sounds fair. gr8t job. always love watching you two. perfect couple.
@Hello Allen how are you doing
Watching from Vancouver, WA across the river from Portland OR. Your lovely wife is a real worker. I love your area of home. God bless your family.
Hi Morgans! I'm from Boone, NC. I really enjoy watching your channel, have been subscribed for some time now. Mike you are truly a blessed man, with owning land that is so beautiful, equipment that most guys can only dream of, and of course such a beautiful wife who really seems to enjoy the life you guys share together. God bless the both of you & your family! Hope you have a very Merry Christmas! Looking forward to more videos too!
Boone is beautiful! Nearly moved there about three years ago.
Jeff, we moved about 2 hrs east of you in Summerfield. I’ve heard a lot about Boone; need to get there someday.
Hello,I'm from Kent Island , Md. I own a 034 super saw she's old and runs hard and fast.2 ' bar I love cutting fire wood for my pit. Watching your show is very relaxing and full of knowledge you two are in harmony with each other. Pa. is a beautiful place with big country.Thanks for the video and always work and play safe; Your friend David sign out...
Melissa, with that head band on you remind me of girls I knew back in the '60's.
I feel you were at Woodstock. She is dressed for it.
God Bless Melissa for turning 50 and you also boss! as well as all of your family and friends. Thank You!!!
nice to hear your from PA, I am north central PA myself, 2.5 miles from the NY boarder. thanks for showing us a small part of your life! I sure would like one of those splitters, I have cut wood for 45 years myself.
Thats Gittin after It!!
I Have Said it Before Melissa is a Hustler!!👍👊
Brian, from Yreka Ca. thats inpressive! wish I had yur machines & a wife like that!!very kool…. keep the Faith, yur blessed, Much Respects, BBB
Love your set up. We're working up 3 trees with 24" trucks. They're kicking our butts. Come on cool weather. It take two of us just to move the rounds into position. All we have is vertical splitters.
Rippin through that pile pretty quick! Is this all Morganic Firewood? LOL
Thanks again for sharing our machines!
BTW... its hard to get any work done around here watching all this wood get split hahhaha
This question to Wolfe ridge ,do you guys sell your gear in Australia.
@@troymeredith9528 we don't do any exporting yet, but I have had a couple customers do the import paperwork on their end to ship overseas.
Greag video and even better teamwork. I was feeling down in the dumps today with all my healing broken bones aching and watching you to inspired me to get up a do a few things. Thank you.
Love your channel ,from the Ottawa valley ,Ontario,Canada
Very enjoyable watching the two of you. Great job!
Hi Thomas how are you doing 😊
Ramble on, and I should have this on permanent cut and paste " You two make a great team" I love the Morgan Family
Nice job Morgan's. That operation is working pretty smooth. Was good to see cross fit training paying off for Melissa. Lifting with legs not back was good too see. 👍
you two love birds are just having way to much fun to call it work lol ! good job & great vid as always !!!!
I don’t know what it is but I love doing and watching cutting N splitting firewood. It’s like it’s in my DNA. I don’t know why I enjoy it so much. I can watch it and do it all day. This is George from L.I. New York my UA-cam name is for my buddy’s Rich channel.
I have a neighbor with a tree service that lets me split firewood whenever and as much as I want. It’s almost as exciting as whoopy or drinking beer.
Melissa, nice job getting the logs split 😉 Let Hunter know I like his favorite song Eye Of Da Tiger. Hunter rocks. 💪💪👍🤙🇬🇺
Melissa, You really need ear protection. The headlamp is nice, but your smile is brilliant. You still work like trooper. Please let us know how you feel? Those rounds are real work, no question. Mike Sorry fella, but where you stand doesn't matter much. The Lady draws the eye, wherever she stands, sits or rides. MI suggest a loveseat and comforter for Melissa's Birthday? It is the season for snuggling in warm and close to someone. It would be a nice place to show how light the years rest on " Grandma's" shoulders. You know darkness or cold cannot stand against Her charm, warmth, and spirit. Thank you all for brightening countless lives. God Bless you all.
Hey Mike, I've been a viewer of your channel for about a year now. Love your videos! Just hit the subscribe button. I don't know why it took so long, I'm weird I guess. Anyway, just wanted to say how much I appreciate what you do. My father has been heating his house with wood for as long as I can remember. Now I heat my house with it. Firewood is becoming my hobby. Love what you do brother, keep it up!
PNWCB here, Looks like Melissa is a very good work helper. You both make all that work look like fun. Peace...
Ramble away!🤣
God bless you and your family.
great videos. im from wisconsin and i cut about 10 cord a year for a outdoor wood boiler to heat about 6k sq ft. love being outside in the woods!! you are doing a great job with the vidoes. nice people!!!
Greetings from Davenport, Iowa[hello hunter] we enjoyed the (run in reverse] segment when logs flew back into Mikes hands. impressive techno skills
Wow.....way to go. Excellent work. Wonderful business.
P
Well Mike & Melissa you keep cutting, splitting & stacking wood for the cooool winter nights coming your way. Me, I'm all done with those New England winters. Stocking fireplaces and wood stoves. Living in the Caribbean enjoying summer balmy weather all winter long. 89 deg F right now. Nevis is the spot, come by for a visit.
Mike, I would love to see you make those perfect stacks of firewood with this wood you are cutting here. Thanks for the entertainment.
Great Job, and great new music....thanks for the change!!
Mrs. Morgan, you sure can make a pair of jeans look very good!
They would look better on the bedroom floor with me hanging out of the back of her👍🏻😂😂😂😂
@@iantowers6972 Don't need that kind of talk, take it to the porn vids.
Let’s keep this place family oriented. Save the trash talk for the mud bogs, porn sites, and not here, PLEASE, And remember, Mrs. Morgan is a lady!
I am living overseas now have been for years but i was a logger before I retired and I am looking forward to see how you're going to compute all the expenses to process a cord of firewood and see if you come out ahead.
Greetings from Erie, PA. I grew up near Oil City along the Allegheny River. I love PA.
Hi ,Mike hi,Melissa greetings from Canada,
Love your operation, best equipment makes everything easier, teamwork that's fantastic.
Quick timing, great job, now only couple more daylight hours needed or portable lighting.
I just love your videos..great working team..not many women know what work is these days..but you my friend have a gem!! I'm from West Virginia near Seneca rocks..I also am in the wood business..love cutting firewood and the outdoors!! Keep your videos coming..looking forward to them..Take care and be safe!!
Like my old Pappy used to say - “A man can end up with a small fortune sellin’ firewood...”
“... he just has to start with a large one!”
haha, the same with farming
He gets it
Melissa I love your hair and beautiful smile. It keeps you looking well under 50. Mike you have a great setup for firewood and I love the videos. You were completely right about the danger of cutting from a wood pile. I sold firewood as a side business when I was younger and on occasion, when I was desperate for wood, I would cut from piles rolled up by front end loaders. Lots of tension on those trees! I stopped when I cut thru my boot and almost lost my toes. Like I said, I was young, dumb, and bullet proof.
That camera headband on Melissa is actually really cute. Makes her look like a hippie chick.

ive been a subscriber for about two weeks. I live in Lewistown pa and cut and burn around 5 cords a year for my heat. It is refreshing to find people on this channel that are god fearing and that make family the center of it all. God Bless you guys and keep up the good work. Mike I just purchased a new stihl ms 391 and I can say it is a screamer now that its broken in. Have a great thanksgiving and keep up the great work
I worked out in Lewistown years ago on the bypass there, I did all the Blasting on that Job. Do you know Steve Cherry?
@@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans I have heard of him. they have been busy blasting due to getting rid of the narrows into state college and making that 4 lanes around potters mills. I get up your way every year I am an ncaa wrestling official and go to Edinboro and mercyhurst
Melissa that's a great birthday wish list 👍 Mike I hope you're paying attention 😉
Welcome to the newcomers, be positive and stay kind 👍
I don’t think Mike could load the rounds as good as Melissa does.
You both doing an excellent job nothing is better if you own a good size property and enjoy the outdoors and have the properly machinery thanks for showing us the action,
I can’t even get my wife to throw out her empty Chick-Fil-A bag
Great video thanks folks.
Nice to have money for all that BRAND NEW EQUIPMENT !!! "The Little Tractor" ??? You have TWO ! 'Isn't that Special' says the church lady !
Thirty-three minutes is amazing! Have a Day.
Mike - you mentioned in a recent video about safety and keeping the work area clean - YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!! About 5 weeks ago I had a simple trip and fall in the yard resulting in breaking my wrist (dominant hand) and have since had surgery. It has restricted my ability to do most anything, not to mention the time/effort for Physical Therapy and the related co-pays. So very frustrating and don't wish it on anyone. Good advice to be careful!!!
Ha Mike how about Melissa running the splitter and you loading the logs on the splitter
I just don't think Mike wants to risk Melissa getting hurt, running the splitter is dangerous work.
@@NewtonWashinton Well, that is work that can be learned, not that complicated, the man is not doing much physical labor...seems an unfair distribution...
It would be nice to watch Mike sweat a bit lol, Melissa already said in a previous video that she enjoys loading for the workout
She has the legs for it, for sure! I'd probably cut my hand off for not stay focused, I'd be watching Melissa too much.... how could any man get anything done. I give Mike high praise. He still has both hands. Lol
@@crv20051 lol what makes you assume you have ot all figured out? Did you ever think maybe Melissa enjoys that part of splitting wood? She works out 6 days a week and enjoys doing it. The only thing unfair is your comment.
Hey Morgans. It was frosty but sunny up here in Newfoundland today. Time to start scraping your car windows in the morning for sure. But no snow yet!!!! Have a day.
Do you split every log? We used to save some larger rounds for night logs.
Thank you for sharing your video with us, it's very educational to watch... besides y'all are awesome...
Hey, nice "Headlight". PJ in O-HI-O
Record time to split that cord
Geez you two are never bored
Wolf Ridge Splitter built to last
Helps get work done really fast
Sooner dark headlamp on
Won't be long the day is gone
Early comes the morning sun
Outdoors with The Morgans is really fun!
I heard the Pittsburghese when you said a “half haur” and I knew you were from southwestern PA. Greetings from Apollo haha
One of my in-laws does firewood but it's far from commercial. We're in Kiln, MS, splitting with a Tractor Supply 25 ton CountyLine. They get $100 per truck load, not a cord. I tell you, that spiltter is slow. It takes about 2 hours to get a truck load but it's stacked in the truck so I guess it's a little under a half cord. It's just after Thanksgiving so in South Mississippi, the firewood season is pretty much over with. Maybe a couple more orders but that's it. The wood is water oak and takes a good year to season up.
Slow down melisa i s what mike is proably thinking plus you need to.conserve energy for those big log,s 😎😎 oh by the way melisa look,s like a flower child with the head lamp.& sun glasses on lol 🤣😅
Having a wonderful wife willing to work hard outside is a blessing. You both work well together and have good values it appears..going to church, etc. I'm blessed with such a wife also and it makes life a joy. Like your videos and variety. Also like your nice equipment. Everything looks new. Is it on loan, from sponsors, or purchased?
I wonder how long would your log splitter would last in Australia. Australian timbers logs are like lumps of concrete. Send one to Australia see how long it lasts. Because jeeps don't last not even 50.000 kms.
Grew up on 500 acre farm in middle Tennessee. Firewood was a yearly undertaking being that we used an Ashley wood stove for heat in the winter. The splitter and conveyer would've been a God send. We used the splitting maul. I was my dad's eldest son . ( Melissa works harder than my 2 brothers did 🤣)
At 49 years of age I laughed a lot and cried a little reminiscing of the good ol days while listening to the background music 😎👍
With all due respect you for got to include $60K worth of equipment. You might be a bit off on that income
Yep, the debt service or opportunity cost on that investment needs to be taken into account.
I don’t think 60k would cover it. When you factor in the tractor, splitter, conveyor, dump trailer, truck to deliver wood, chainsaws etc. You could buy a machine for the same money and get 100 an hour without all the work. I can appreciate what he’s trying to do, but I have done firewood off and on my whole life. There are much easier ways to make money. Firewood is hard and sometimes dangerous work. Love the channel. 👍
