It's a lot like being a football coach. everyone's an expert on game day. keep doing what you do. we love it.
Mike,
Good Forest Management includes providing adequate access to every part of a property. Beside being access, these trails also serve several purposes(wildlife openings, fire breaks, emergency access). Forest Management does not just mean leaving the trees and vegetation to grow uncontrolled. As a property owner of wooded acreage you have a responsibility to maintain the property. Until someone owns property such as yours, they most likely can't understand that what appears to be work to them is actually a pleasure to you. As always enjoy the videos!
Jason McCook , I was talking with my forester this spring. Although every wood lot owner has their own goals, there was one thing we agreed on......the worse thing to do with your wood lot, is *nothing*.
I loved watching this machine work, never once thought about this being a commercial
Every one of these types of programs are commercials since people are saying what they use and why they are using them. Its like going to a friends home and watching/helping them do whatever. You learn about options.
Hey, Mike,
The same geniuses that think it's a crime to clear underbrush and scrub on your property are running the show in California, and they're responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars in wildfire-loss, property damage, not to mention "air quality" that affects the lives of everybody in states to the east of them. Don't let the uninformed comments of ignoramuses ruin your day. You and Mellisa and the kids are an inspiration and we love you like extensions of our own family.
Are there a lot of forest fires in PA? The rabbits need a place to live, too.
I have been watching your videos since I met u at the Paul Bunyan show. I have helping my boyfriend of four years split, haul logs, and cut. What a great way to enjoy our time together! Having trails around your property is a great way to enjoy nature and a nice afternoon walk. You and Melissa are a great inspiration of good team work.
I agree with you its a win win. A win for your sponsor, a win for you and a win for me to be entertained by an incredible machine and operator.
Thanks Mark
MIke I got to hand to you. You definitely have come a long way with your UA-cam channel. Thanks to your "gift of the gab" and efforts, you've convinced several companies to sponsor you and give you or the use of an unbelievable amount of machinery that you would otherwise not be able to afford. Your power of persuasion is second to none. You certainly know how to sell yourself and get what you want out of life. Kudos to you, I commend you. You certain are a great salesman.
Mike, I discovered your channel this past summer when I was searching youtube for Fireworks videos, as I too enjoy the 4th of July as my favorite holiday of the year, and put on a small fireworks show for about 50 to 75 of my friends and family. After stumbling on to your channel after viewing your fireworks display for this year, I began watching and became intrigued with all of the things you do around your property. My wife and I have recently purchased 48 acres of land and plan to build a home on it and retire there. I enjoy shooting, but not hunting, but have a dear friend that is a hunter and will be hunting our property. I say this because I have spent the past couple of months learning things that I will need to know as a new property owner. I have really enjoyed your channel, and regarding this diamond blade forestry mower, all I can say is WOW! I will be doing some clearing, and trail cutting, and i can only hope that I can rent a piece of equipment like this. But I just wanted to thank you for all of your content, and let you know that I am one of the many people that have benefitted from your "commercial" for this piece of equipment.
Your so right about the way our parents and grandparents worked their land. My dad passed away 1994 he was 81 years old. My granddad was borned in 1887 i remember hearing their stories about farming with horses. Here in W.V. the hills are pretty steep. Wasn't any tractors back then, and about the only thing that could navigate these hills was a team of horses or mules.
I'm very thankful for what I've been blessed with as I couldn't imagine working like our grandparents had too.
I wished they could've seen how things have evolved from their generation. That machine is awesome. Its way beyond my means of ever owning one but, i appreciate you showing us how very useful it is. Really enjoyed this. Thanks Mike.
Dean, thanks for sharing. You are right about that!
Let the haters hate your doing a great job we use grinders alot down here in south Florida
You're doing an excellent job as a land manager Mike. As land owners, it's our responsibility to ensure the land and forests are maintained in a healthy fashion...those of us who are land / forest owners (or at least understand how they work) know you're doing the right thing. Not the first time I've watched forest mulching videos..such an awesome machine! I need some trails cut on my own property so I need to find someone in southwest Virginia that owns a machine like this. Great video...keep it up!
HI Mike , Ive been enjoying your channel and its family charm . Please don’t let the negative comments get to you , your always going to have individuals who spout negativity and poor form .
You do what you and your family feels is right and what you enjoy . Your channel gives thousands of folks a different experience , a outlet from their own stress’ s . Have a relaxing weekend doing your own thing Dave
Tell those negative folks to not click on these videos. It's so simple, if you don't like something you don't look at it. Keep up the good work Morgans!!!!!
Mike keep doing what you are doing. I don’t see these videos as a commercial. I have no problem with you giving air time to the companies that are supplying the equipment. In fact I think that is great to give recommendations for businesses. When we cleared the building sites we had to pay someone with some equipment to get it done. We started doing it by hand but quickly realized that pulling stumps by hand wouldn’t allow us to make any progress in the time that we had to put toward the work. In 3 months we had cleared about 120 x 80 ft. In something like 6 hours with the right equipment we had cleared 1100 ft by 12 ft wide. If we had had access to a machine like the one you are using we could have done 9000 liner ft of trail building along our property lines in no time at all.
To the "commercial" haters, would you prefer no video from Outdoors With The Morgans while Mike is clearing the paths with this great machine? Mike needs to get the most out of this opportunity as his time and schedule permits. It takes a lot of time to create a video for UA-cam. If you don't think so, give it a try. You will gain a whole new appreciation for the quality videos presented here on the Morgan's channel. I guess some people just want to make firewood. BTW, if you don't want to watch, there are other options for you.
WELL SAID
I swear, I think the same 20 or 30 people run around hating on videos like this, and channels like yours. City-dwellers most likely, that have never set foot in the REAL outdoors and have no clue what real land management and conservation is all about. Keep up the good work, Mike. Can't wait to see the finished trails!
After all of the clearing, looks like it will be easy to maintain with the brushhog.
Hey Mike Morgan - You will never please everyone with these videos. You be you - that's what we want to see. We are here to see the Morgan family do what the Morgan family does. If some people don't like some of that - simply skip that video. From up in Newfoundland - ROCK ON!!
I love what you are doing and it's your land and you are not hurting the land but helping it grow and be useful for your needs.
You do a great job maintaining your property. Cleaning up the dead trees and vegetation allows nature to replenish. Keep up the good work.
Basically the only thing Mike doesn't like about this machine is having to give it back.
Lol
Brandon Bradley Ha, ha, ha...! I was just about to comment back to the same thing, ha, ha, ha... I love it.
@Larry Riffett yeah he did, did a video couple months ago don't know which number though.
With over 100k subscribed to the channel I doubt those tractors are going anywhere. At least I hope not.
Looks like fun Mike! That’s a great machine! I strangely satisfying to watch! Cheers!
That’s a awesome machine!! I wish I had it for my property. I really enjoy all of your videos. You and Melissa are doing a great job.
The Beast Getting It Done!!👍👊
Mike, don't listen to the troll s , I love watching your vids, and it's great to see the power of UA-cam helping you to work
People that ask you to re-plant do not know how our forests in the North work. You know your land better than anyone. Manage your land the best for you. I think you are doing that and I applaud you for it. Have a day and keep up the good work.
Awesome vidioes. Take all negative comments and forget about them . U are doing nature and YOUR family a great service.
What GaryPrice6651 said!
Well this was fun. I’ve been wanting to try one of these on my property.
Yes, there are folks out here like Mike with similar interests!
That's the whole reason I subscribed to the channel. Mike reminds me of uncle. I grew up living the same style life.
My two cents for all the negative commentators. If you don't like what you see, then watch something else. "Change The Channel". Mike and his family do an awesome job putting these videos together and placing them on UA-cam. It take a lot of time to make these and likely quite a bit more behind the scenes time to get them edited. Thanks Mike! Awesome job. Especially trying to put out a video each day. I look forward to each new video that's coming out. Keep them coming. I think you need the machine an extra week to make some more forest crunching videos!!
I could watch this for hours. Thanks for putting me in the drivers seat.
Awesome thanks Gary
I had my property logged two winters ago.They cut mainly aspen and balsam trees. They left maple, birch and basswood. The project was mainly to provide habitat for the Gold Wing Warblers. Since then we have thousands of new trees growing, in fact they are so thick that you can't walk through the woods , unless you cut a trail. This is good for our moose and deer population and all habitat. It also is good for fire prevention. our forest was old and ding and now it is young and growing. ready for a new generation. The new trees are already ten to twelve feet tall. Keep up the good work Mike.
Wow- awesome! Thanks
Hey Mike, I enjoy the channel everyday. Keep posting and for the haters, well don't watch them and definitely don't post negative posts. They own their land and pay the taxes on it and Mike can do whatever he wants to it. Unless you want to pay for the maintenance and up keep and the taxes. Then keep your thoughts to yourself and just don't watch them. It's a free country to choose and do what you want. Just my thoughts, keep posting and I hope all is well. Big hello from Tennessee.
Weird how most City/Suburb Nature loving, tree huggin folks think that Nature is so Weak and it needs help to re-grow... Us Country Folk Know Better! Mother Nature is the Strongest Force on Earth... Left un-check she'll re-grow and make it look like we were never here in 50-100 years. Just next year Mike, by summers end, you'll have to be brush hogging the new re-growth in what you cleared today.... Carry on good sir, hopefully they'll stick around long enough watching y'all's channel to learn something.👍👍.... Miss you Mel! Looking forward to when it's safe for your return. 😊
Thanks for sharing Mike. I am a big fan and appreciate the information you bring to my world of ranching, land clearing (forestry fire ladder fuel reduction). Through UA-cam, I have discovered better and more efficient ways of doing many different projects on my land. I don’t consider TV commercials a valuable resource, I consider Outdoors with the Morgan’s not only a valuable resource but also a great source of entertainment. Keep up the great work and God bless you all👍👍👍🇺🇸
What a great forestry tool. Glad you took me along...I can watch someone else work for hours. We have a Murphy Tractor here in Western Nebraska but no need for a piece of equipment like this. Thanks for sharing your family chores and adventures.
I think it's not a commercial but it maybe an educational video. for me I have never seen something like this before and it's nice to see this being used by someone who isn't a professional . keep doing things like this it keeps me coming back for more. in joy
Don’t worry about negativity and complaining. I have been enjoying watching this brut at work. It’s a cool tool. I have been showing it to my buddies at the shop who hunt. Keep on sharing. And I can tell you for sure that the animals will use the trails more than you. Take it from a guy who has been hunting all my life. I have seen it many times before, game using man made arc trails. You guys have a beautiful place and you should be proud of the way you’re keeping it up. Love and Light from Winston Salem, North Carolina 🇺🇸🦌🍁🦅✝️
Mike what you are doing is excellent. You are also opening up fire trails and fire breaks. Good job and good work.
i agree. not a commercial. actual work done. time saver. keep it going. love it
Thanks Allen!
Not bored by that machine, more of that the better. Does a great job of making a trail.
The first video I watched of yours was how you stack your fire wood so evenly. I subscribed right then and there and and have been an avid viewer ever since. I love your projects, your family and how you share all of this with the UA-cam community. Keep up the great work Mike, I always look forward to each new vdeo!
Winner winner chicken dinner!!! Noticed that your skill over the past 3 days has ramped up also. Thanks for sharing!!!
It’s your property and your just taking care of it 👍 the dear will love the new paths. ❤
MIKE ,,! What a Great Idea! Everyone should understand Your Great Way of THINKING,!
Bob r you are so right. The US Forestry Department used to be large enough to manage the forests, clearing up undergrowth and brush that becomes dangerous tinder when lightning strikes, or some unthinking person starts a fire. Just look at the wide open space in Alaska that burns because of lightning strikes and gets the peat moss to burning, clearing thousands of acres. You can't stop all fires. However there should be something to keep people from building on cliffs that will fall into the Pacific when a flood happens, and from building in forests that naturally burn every year or two, in order for the forests to replenish themselves naturally. Just doesn't make much sense to build in those places... Great job managing your property, Mike! We need a lot more folks like you!!!
Keep doing it. DIY guys learn from these videos everyday! thanks.
First let me say Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!! Thank you for your time! Thank you for your knowledge! Thank you for your passion! Anyone who can't tell the difference between a commercial done by a paid actor or a stiff company employee and someone who is loving what they're doing - well they're just too negative for me. Mike - yours is turning into one of my favorite channels. I check it out everyday. My wife watches with me and really enjoys it also. Please keep up what you're doing. A special thanks for you sharing your family. You and Melissa are great together along with rest of your family. What a gift that is, both my wife and I really enjoy that part of your channel. Thanks again and Godspeed to you.
Mike don't worry about those few people who make negative comments and have no positive solutions. I have seen other videos that make mention of your being given all of the RK equipment. More power to you it is a win win for you and the equipment manufacturer.
Mike you are sooo!!!! right. You need trails to git around your property and check it out to see what you need to do to manage it. You are the keeper of that land and you have over see all of it. It helps the wildlife. Great work Doing a FINE job
You should say thanks to the person who said, "This looks like a TV commercial" Didn't know a cheap camera could do what a $140,000 TV camera could do...let alone all the editing....DUDE you leveled up 😁 😁
You have been around long enough to know that no matter what you say how you do your videos someone will always have something negative to say. You have always made it very clear about the things you use and why just keep doing what you are very good at.
Thanks David!
Wow that is one awesome machine. I have never seen anything like it. Some may say this video is nothing more than a advertisement, well if so it's the best commercial iv'e ever seen. I have watched your trail clearing videos a couple of times and love them. Regards
Mike, Haters are gonna hate. Let them hate have a chuckle at their expense and keep doing you.
The videos of this machine at work are great! Keep it up!!
never get bored watching that cutter
Mike, I like the fact that land clearing is vital for the wooded areas to make access for enjoyment and to get where one needs to be as for getting firewood and saw logs and even the what if someone were to get hurt and can't walk, a crew will need ease of access to reach that injured and carry out. I know because I done a lot of hiker carry out in my time and ease of access to a area makes it a lot easier until you get where there is no choice then to go through the thick brush and even wade a creek over waist deep.
I also more than anything think of it as land conservation. protection of our natural resources and help other trees grow without being "smuthered" and then choke and die. land conservation is my No. 1 thing I strongly believe in. Conserving what is there and remove what does not belong or if there is a area that has a lot of "under growth"
I like what you do Mike. What you are doing in my eyes is making your place more accessible to places you like to go and for pure enjoyment and simply enjoy nature and what a better way then to get outdoors and enjoy life. I don't see is as destroying trees or forest or anything of such. I see it as and I go back to conservation. That alone goes a long. long way to preserve what's there and create a place where these trees have a chance to survive and grow. There's nothing no worse than having a lot of stuff growing making it hard for some trees to survive and also make a place where wildlife can roam and find food and have their place in the wild.
I used to work on the Blue Ridge parkway back in 1980 and I done a lot of conswervation on trails but the hard way...all by hand. I enjoy what God created for us to enjoy and use and protect for our younger generation.
Great work Mike and a super cool machine. Very super cool and beyond beautiful place.
Enjoy all of what you do because I do about the same thing...enjoy outdoors. Love you guys.
Michael from NW North Carolina
Mike, keep on educating people about how things actually work in the woods. Our property here in Indiana is very much the same in terms of opportunistic trees, we don't have to plant any, God takes care of that. We also have the sticker bushes and the vines that we make great effort to cut down when we find them. You folks are doing great, keep it going. And as always, God Bless.
Mike, trolls will be trolls, you do an awesome service for all of us. Keep up the good work, and always I enjoy your videos.
Amazing equiptment thanks for showing us how it all works,
You did more in six hours to your property in respect to wildlife habitat, than most people realize. Six thumbs up from me.
I agree with Josh Yates. Mike let those that hate just hate. If people would take the time to reread what they write many would rewrite after they realize how it could be interpreted. I for 1 really enjoyed the trail blazing. That Deer can run! Changing up your daily routine is I’m sure enjoyed by you and it is for those of us that have our morning coffee with the Morgan’s as well.
You and Ms Melissa do what you do and forget the negative jerks.
“The best part of waking up...is a Morgan in your cup” hey yet another new tag line for ya.
Cheers
Mike, could not agree more with your point about land management. Just look at all the issues the west coast is having without proper land management (massive fires after droughts). Your trails help keep the forest healthy and create fire breaks as well. Great job. Really enjoy the videos.
It’s not a commercial but a well thought out and in-depth series of video reviews. I don’t have land but I know people who do and I have told them to check out these videos. The only thing that would make this video better is Hunter making an appearance 😄
Love watching the videos. This machine is a beast. Keep up the great work.
The ability if you making a high sound quality video while that piece of machinery is running is amazing. That cab must be quality.
You area good steward of the land, thank you. What a great machine!
The haters will always hate , keep up the good work sir 👍
Never bored watching you work Mike
I wouldn’t even try to explain it to the haters. They just don’t want to learn. Great management of your property.
Once you see how much nicer the woods look without the junk brush, it's hard to know where to stop sometimes. Good informative video. I have an older JD 250 skid steer and I know how satisfying what you are doing is!
Love your video's. Keep them coming. Thanks
That's right Mike It's Your Land and you can do whatever you want on your land there's nothing like paths going through the woods for walking on running on driving on your words are looking really nice keep up the good job
And as far as the commercial aspect goes it’s getting viewers that want to see this type of stuff as opposed to a paid infomercial
You're doing a great job with land management, the grapevine and other evasive weeds are the real forest killers.
Hope the ash trees do come back that would be great.
Beaut machine, I like your explanations of how things work in your area because everywhere is different.
Absolutely a fascinating video! I felt like I was in the machine operating it myself, great perspective! you can never go wrong getting rid of invasive plants, it's all good. It will make the woods healthier, and make new places to walk, and new trails for the deer. I've opened up places on my 40 acres that I have not set foot on in 25 years, because of multiflora rose. Thanks,Mike for your efforts, well done.....
Thanks Larry. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Great job Mike keep up the good work. Don't worry about the haters they have never walked in the woods. Concrete jungle tree hungers.
I wish i had more access trails. I have so much firewood down that i cant get to. I am going to have to open up some trails this winter after deer season. Say hey to the family and yall HAVE A DAY 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
That thing is badass!
Love watching your video's Mike. You really don't need to explain yourself to others. I appreciate what you do and your time. I cleared a lot to build my home in the year 2000. 56 ash trees came down and the bush was insane. I did it on my 3 weeks off with chain saw and wood chipper. I still feel the pain til this day. My buddy has 50 acres that we go clear dead and falling wood on the weekends and we make trails there as well the old way. I would love to rent this for a day to save weeks of work. Keep up the good work and always informative video's!!
Wow! That is a lot of hard work. Thanks
You and Melissa are doing a great job. Those that can, do. Those that can’t, whine. Keep up the great work it’s inspiring. 👍👍
Thanks for showing us this machine . I sure could use one. I didn't know they made anything like it.
Haters are texting from their gas guzzler SUV while sipping their latte having no idea about forestry management. Keep on keeping on Mike, love the channel
Great video Mike. I am in South Carolina and own about 50 acres with 30 in woods. Back when you were using the rented back hoe I started thinking how I could build some trails through my woods with no heavy equipment skills. It was then I hit on forestry mulcher. Hired a local guy with his mulcher and before noon in one day he cut 3/4 to 1 mile of zig zagging trails for me. That afternoon I was walking dogs for first time on my new trails... Now, it was done quickly owing to the fact that nothing real big was taken down... mostly heavy under brush, scrub oak and pine. I think 4 inch diameter was about the biggest. Without doubt best way to cut trail (that is as long as you are not trying to go along the side of hill which can get very dangerous very fast). Anyway, whole job cost $2,200 and saved me months of back breaking work. In fact I could have probably never been able to do it on my own. Highly highly recommended.
Great video and narration about cleaning up the woods and trails. Appreciate your sharing. Have a great weekend Morgans. Praying for your safety, health and success. ☝🙏👍👉......
Great video Mike, I really enjoy watching you operate this equipment in the timber. I have also spent many hours clearing trees and brush, with lots of thorns, the hard way. The tv commercial commenter should go sit in his closet on a 5 gallon bucket in the dark so he doesn’t see any he doesn’t like. Keep up the great work.
Fire Breaks and Fire access trails needed on wooded property.
Good deal my friend keep up the good work. It doesn’t matter what people say you are doing good helping people too
No - I am not board of the trail clearing videos - I am drooling over the machine. I spent hours this summer with chainsaw and tractor making trails.... what a machine.
Great job mike
Lucky man to score that equipment
Love the channel, keep doing what makes you and your family happy
Thank you Sir! Awesome job!!
Thanks Mike!
Great video with great information..
Good 'woodland steward' ethics.
What can I say. That machine is awesome. I sure could use it around here for a bit. Thanks for the video. 👍👍👍❤️
Not boring at all! Bring on the shredder!
I am very glad to see these videos demonstrate equipment that I have never seen nor even heard of. Keep up the good work. Amazing equipment. Thanks for all your hard work.
I've found Outdoors With The Morgans video's to be both beneficial and informative. I know I've learned a lot. Anyone complaining this is a channel of commercials needs to maybe take a walk and enjoy nature, clear a trail, cut some firewood, or take up a hobby. #haveaday
Thanks so much
Fabulous machine Mike, great job done there. 👍
Mike we live on property similar to y’all. That is an awesome machine. Down south we have been seeing a different forestry machine. It is still a skid steer based tractor but with a horizontal drum type mulching head.
Nobody rents them. You have to have a company that has invested in them to come to your property to clean it up. Going rates are $1500-2000/day or $200/ hr with a 4 hr min.
You handle the folks well that are not familiar with land management and who only know what some urban scientist talks about.
Keep up the good work.
That was an awsome display. One weekend with that thing and I would have a ball.
Hi Mike , glad you are enjoying your land. I agree with you , dont listen to negative comments.
Wow , that is some machine. I love how it makes a large job small. Great video.
Great video Mike
