    Hello Mike and Melissa from Central Florida. A note of appreciation for the hard work you do at home, making a living and in making videos. My husband has enjoyed wood working from a young age. He was hoping to retire and get a mill, make his own lumber, and make heirloom furniture for our family and friends. Alas, he was diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy by an ophthalmologist. He didn't even know he was diabetic, only that he kept needing stronger glasses. He is now legally blind, with only slight peripheral vision. He lives his dream through your videos, often commenting what a beautiful piece a particular cut is. With the help of our sons and a friend he will be making another, larger, dining table for our family and friends to gather about. He comments that he hopes you may get into wood working more. He works on smaller pieces these days, boxes, bowls, candle sticks. Congratulations on all your endeavors and achievements.
    Sincerely, Mrs. Richard (Nancy) Hoskins

    Good morning Mike. I wonder how many viewers have been affected by your videos. I for one have. A couple years ago I had some logging done on our farm. The loggers left a lot of tops, good firewood going to waste so I bought a processor to go on my skid steer and got into the firewood business. Then a dump trailer. In 2023 we sold 40 cord, that's not a lot, but in 2022 we only sold 12. We also have been clearing cedar, hate to see it go to waste so we know have a small sawmill, LX 55 and are about to be in the cedar business. So thanks for help, now when retirement comes in a couple years I have a new job. Keep up the great videos, best to you and the family.

    Mike,
    You're welcome. Every time you publish a video, I watch it. I like your content. I enjoy Melissa contribution. I enjoy Hanna, Tyler, and Bo's channel too. Daughter Eva has the potential to be a Lawyer, Doctor, Dentist, Researcher, whatever she wants to be; very bright lady. Levi is a natural born forester, kind of like his dad. I wish we could see more of Levi. Hunter is the glue that holds this wonderful family together. He keeps his mom, dad, brother and sisters on their game. He is, after all, "The Huntman"
    Have great day. Looking so forward to getting the road to clearing underway. Can't wait for the new dump truck to come along. Hmm, oh yeah, the shed over the fuel tank and the excavator and the new flooring in the woodshed. Maybe a Woodshed #2? It's like a mini series. There are all kinds of exciting episodes to come.
    Take care,
    Alan from NC

I can’t tell you how much we look forward to starting our day drinking our coffee and watching a new Outdoors With The Morgan’s video. Thank you for sharing your lives with us and letting us be part of your family! Just wish we were closer and could see you in person from time to time. Hope we are able to do that someday.

    Good Sunday morning Mike and family from east central Alabama. Speaking of spring time, I noticed yesterday, while in the yard doing some pruning, that the maple trees had some little buds on the tips of limbs, so it won't be long until you have signs of spring in your area. Being 80 years old, makes it a little more difficult to do some things in the yard, that when I was in my 50's and 60's, however, I can't complain, as I've been Blessed with pretty good health and a loving family, just like your family. Thanks for your videos, sharing with everyone, your skills with machinery. You're an inspiration to watch. Thanks again. Have a Blessed day to you and your family.

    Got a paving story for you. When I was a young boy in the early 70s, a paving crew stopped by my grandparents house and said hey we had some leftover asphalt from another job, would you like you driveway paved for free? Sure, why not. They backed in, dumped the load and drove off. Then panicking, they called dad, he hooked up the scrap blade and up the mountain to their house. Spread that asphalt and did a very good job. That driveway is still there today with dad's tractor tire tracks in it. Turned out ok, but shame on those guys for taking advantage of old folks!!!

    Mike, I have also been the recipient of someone doing me a favor. The county graciously bought land off of me to increase the right of way for a new bridge. I didn't really have a choice. I had over 500 trees on the property, only a few real large ones. They cleared the trees, built the bridge, and paved an approach to my property across the bridge into my lot. I live in the woods across the road from a county Blue Herron Aviary. The drive basically became a pull off for every random vehicle that wanted to use it. I did not ask for it nor did I want it. BTW: no parking or no trespassing signs did no good. Oh well, Good video.

    I was here almost in the beginning. I think the first video I watched you were next to the pond on your Kubota starting a new trail kind of diagonal to the trail/dam. No Rk's in the picture yet and I became a faithful that night. You were a crotchety guy working 12 hour days and getting done what you could after work and weekends. That's not a bad thing, most of us are like that. I couldn't wait to watch you skidding logs up from the gullies cutting rounds right there in the woods. Then you and Melissa loading the Polaris, the tractor bucket and the red trailer with the rounds. I absolutely loved the log yard outlined with stacked firewood and the deer feeder down there. Everything changed. It looks like a bomb went off down there and turned into a million dollar commercial operation. I understand the need for change to grow, but I look at some of the old videos and there is change and then some. You hated the camera in the beginning and now at the end of each video it's "Fireside with Mike for 10 minutes." You're right the watch rate is great! I just wonder though if you were still out in the woods doing things and less plugging equipment and merch and talking? I have left and come back several times. You and I are the same age, I just turned 58 in January and I don't think I would repel down into a holler to winch out a 2000 lb tree every day. For instance, a video of you dredging out the pond and putting a proper concrete stand pipe with a rebar trash rack would be a hell of a video that could be 30 or so episodes. Not digging at you, just suggesting. After all I am back again looking for changes. Good luck with whatever you have in the works.

    Good morning! Funny that my first observation about your project was eventually the explanation for your title. That asphalt skin looked out of place in the Mike Morgan world. You’re right about it always breaking up on the thin end. Water runs off and wets up the aggregate under the edge, and traffic at first pumps it out from under the skin, then breaks off the piece that hangs out over the void. There’s a reason proper edges are thicker and usually reinforced.
    Has anyone had experience with black walnut sawdust? I understand it can be toxic to plants and definitely not good to breathe. I don’t know if it could be ok for chicken runs or pet bedding. Black walnut does make some pretty hardwood. There’s a place just south of my farm that sells walnut to the edible market, at a big scale. Hammon Products in Stockton Mo is said to be the world’s biggest supplier. Started in 1946 and depends still on the thousands of individuals who pick up wild nuts in the fall and sell to them for spending money. You could tell who did this because their hands would be stained dark for a couple weeks from the deteriorating husks. There are wood products companies scattered around the area too, for bowls, cutting boards, and some furniture. Cool stuff.

I don't know if you realize how much your channel and you, inspire all of us. After seeing you grading and moving around on the track loader without tearing up the landscape and the ability you have at holding grade, I traded my wheel Bobcat in for a track unit. I can't believe how much easier it is to hold grade and am now able to get out on the landscape without rutting and tearing things up. It also has exceeded my expectations plowing snow. Many thanks to you. I am in the upper west area of Illinois not far from Iowa. It is always a pleasure to watch your channel. Scott

    Hello from southern Ohio. That walnut is beautiful Mike. It will make someone a very nice live edge table with a couple of those together with a lazy river of sorts running between them. Might be a nice table for your building. We have a small sawmill on our farm, mostly to cut our own lumber for projects on the farm as well as upgrading other structures. Our forest areas have shag bark hickory, black walnut, red and white oak, sycamore, beech, poplar, buckeye, box elder, birch, and maple. There’s a certain satisfaction when completing a project using our lumber instead of making a trip to the big box stores and a good savings. Our little mill has long ago paid for itself. Your channel is excellent. Your experience and education in the field of construction and blasting has turned into wisdom and I / we appreciate what you do and how you strategize your efforts for success. Thanks again for good clean entertainment. Might catch up with you at the Paul Bunyan show this fall. Keep up the great channel. Hello to Melissa and the Hunt Man. Trent 👍🇺🇸🚜

    Although I seldom comment I just wanted to let you know that I watch almost every one of ODWTMs and spend a rainy day off catching up on some I have missed. I enjoy your videos and wish you to remain constantly above the 100,000 mark in your future.
    Know that there are many of us who share most if not all of your views on life in general.
    Stay well and keep on “living the life” that you choose. ❤

    You are correct about the viewers being like family. For me at least, I don't check out or look for specific content of each video. I just check in everyday to see what the Morgans are up to. No different than checking in on family or a favorite neighbor. Along with that I do pick up some ideas for driveways, firewood, buildings or builders, tote sales, etc. since I live relatively in the same area of western Pa.

    Hi Mike,, I very seldom make any comments on videos, but as I listened to what you were saying I thought I'd speak up and say hello from the dead center of Nebraska. I have enjoyed your videos for several years now. I am a retired carpenter contractor since 2012, and I also have a sawmill, cut and split firewood, so Outdoors With the Morgans is the first thing I look for when I turn on the computer.

    As an occasional commenter you are one of the only UA-camrs that I watch all the way through. You are a very good narrator, explainer, and have very good knowledge of what you are talking about. You throw in a personal opinion every now and then to spice things up or bring up a point that I personally agree with. Usually all of them. Keep up the great videos and looking forward to the future next ones.

    Mike I watch a lot of You Tube daily. I’m 81 years old and I choose You Tube as my entertainment. I have a handful of channels that I will watch first and the as time permits, I fill in with others. “Out Doors With The Morgans” is in that select few of those I watch first. You present a variety of topics in different ways to keep each video fresh and interesting. Please continue your efforts and I promise I will continue to watch.

  • @barryhoneycutt3894
    @barryhoneycutt3894 7 місяців тому

    One reason Mike for the high number of views , like over a 1/3 of Subs is great, but my opinion the reason, is your integrity, honesty, hard working, sharing with neighbors, your just an all around good guy attitude. Your videos are interesting, you use multiple cameras, drones, editing and common sense. I personally feel like i am a part of your extended family, and proud of that. All of your family is like that, smart, courteous, and just people you would like to hang around with, to be your neighbor, and that is what it is suppose to be like. I have often referred to your channel as being like a Norman Rockwell Movie, full of holiday excitement, and warm fuzzies. :) Now we all know every one, every family has their challenges, yep all of us. And an old man about my age now 71, when i was 20 told me something i have never forgotten. He said: "Son in your life your going to have many challenges come at you, from every direction like North East Sout and West, and you cannot stop that, it is a fact of life. YET you have 100% Control on how you deal with those challenges and overcome." NEVER forgot that now even 50 years later, and MIKE honestly, to me, your and your family do that very well. Your are careful not to offend yet not compromising truth to obtain that goal. Without getting to mushy here lol I very much look forward to your videos.
    We got off on a mistake i made back a couple years ago when i made a mistake, pretty dumb one also. I compared you rolling through a stop sign, like agreeing with abortion, man that was dumb, and all you said was, that does not seem to be a fair comparison. Your right, so i tried to apologize 3- 4 times, should have emailed. any way i am rambling now.. Love the channel, and the family and it is my fav channel.... from SE Texas Bear a fan for like [obtw not a troll] lol sr so long

    Good Morning Morgan family, this was a great video, you were absolutely right that guy did not do you any favor now if he had dug out the apron to the driveway and put 4 inches of asphalt down 10 feet back that "may" have been a favor. I agree that they need to leave Phil alone PETA is just jealous they are not being as well cared for as Phil- always some one trying to change tradition and I will just bet his home is a guarded area. That was some beeeeutiful walnut lumber, Old timers (well I'm an oldtimer too)used to put walnut in their attics to "season out" for many years before they would use it, guess that was their kilns back then. Ya'll keep putting out video's and shorts and I will be watching them. Stay safe stay warm and enjoy life. John Toccoa GA

    I had the same sort of "favor" done for me on a piece I own. The local hospital owns a right of way through my property. When they had their parking lot redone, the paving company, put their extra over a pathway on my property. Right over top of clover I had planted. They also left me a bunch of litter to clean up as well.
