Love to watch you Morgans. Melissa, just love your personality. What a wonderful family you have. Thanks for sharing your lives on KZbin, the good and the not so good. Your thankful attitude shows through and you are a great example of the kind of people we should be. You enrich the lives of everyone you encounter and bless them. God bless you and your family.

[@er1073]

Melissa I have a sneaking suspicion that you have under-mind the pool possibilities. I learned a lot about autism back when I was a young Marine I wanted to volunteer for something in the community. I had the distinct honor to be a coach and judge at a special Olympics in New Bern North Carolina. Those kids were so giving and put out 100% by just asking them to do what they wanted to do 100 yard dash, etc... When I say Hello Hunter. I am really speaking to him even though he may not respond I know I have reached a human being the appreciates recognition. Thank you for sharing your video. Ed

[@PatrickCPalmer]

Great recap video to answer questions and hit highlights. Always enjoy catching up ... Thanks! Hey Hunter! ✋🏻👴🏻

[@Defenze]

Like the answered questions part of this video. The once a month update is really cool. Love the dogs. Don't know about getting another dog Melissa. That's tough. Had to let ours go. He was 14 yrs old and was in failing health. We did the right thing and did not let him suffer. He was such a good dog. His name was Cooper. Always enjoy watching you do anything,,,and Mike. He really is knowledgeable about that tractor. And other stuff to. Take care.

[@optimoprimo132]

You are amazing people you Morgans! I'm from Canada but lived for over 10years in the USA. In other countries I've lived in I found that once in awhile a certain negativity toward "America" came out. As a Canadian I was called an American and thrown into that negativity. I always defended Americans. Why? Not because they associated me with America but simply because I lived there and was able see first hand the beauty of the country, the freedom, the patriotism and above all the overwhelming majority of wonderful american families like yourselves. You showed hospitality, showed your faith, your generosity and down to earth hard work that made both Canada and USA what they are today. So thank you for showing through your videos what I experienced in America and about Americans. I was content to be perceived as an American even when it was in experiencing misguided negativity because as far as I'm concerned I was in good company! I appreciate all of you. Keep fighting the good fight! God Bless!

[@54jake451]

I liked this video, but for me, once a month would be plenty often. I enjoy the way you folks share your outdoor life with us viewers. Best wishes to all the Morgans, from your neighbor to the north in Caledonia, NY

[@matthewsims359]

I think this type of video is a good idea, especially for new subscribers. Kinda gets the caught up on a channel thats all about the finer things in life. Say hey to the family and yall HAVE A DAY 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jeffreylane6098]

Questions,questions so many to ask Thanks for answering, taking the task Curious subscribers wanting to hear What's going on, the things you hold dear Loving the intro's, and the outgo's are sweet Geez this channel can't be beat Looking forward to each and every one Outdoors with The Morgans really is fun!!

[@garbagecanfriedspam6254]

Good morning Morgan family. I look forward to all of your videos. You do a wonderful job. I am very pleased to see how well you guys handle life...You face it head-on. Carry on my friends.

[@RagsdaleCreek]

Another Awesome video from the Morgans. Melissa,Mike,Kids and the 4 legged kids Love ya'll.

[@JaKe-bd2fq]

Great recap. We are looking forward to your up coming projects. It great to hear Eva is doing better. All the best to your family.

[@thewoodchucker-doug4303]

Another awesome video from the Morgan’s. Love the recap and answers to questions, makes it personal, nice touch! Wishing your family a healthy and happy February!

[@davedowding5883]

Mike you asked and I’m responding... I loved this video! I enjoyed the variety. I really enjoy both you’d and Melissa’s answering questions. This was an enjoyable, well rounded video. BTY, I saw a couple of chunks of split elm that I’d give part of my kingdom to have to turn. Because of the interlocking grain even th pith centers work well. It is one of my favorites, especially to use for a canvas for colorization. Pls keep these coming, and Have a Day from Central Texas!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Good morning Mike and Melissa, great recap of the month. Glad that you passed along more on Eva, Hanna and Hunter too. You folks are real troopers and we thank you for sharing with us.

[@HTPJohn]

This video is great! It's kinda like catching up with our friends Mike & Melissa. Once a month or so would be great, we like the relaxed narration you did on this one. Looking forward to spring, only 45 days away! God Bless.

[@bwayne40004]

Whar’s the chainsaws and tree cuttin’? That there’s all I want!!! Just messing. Very nice Melissa Q&A. She’s really sincere and can split some wood! Whar’s the wood splittin’? That’s all I want!!! “The Morgans” is everyone so I think (if they are inclined) everyone should have exposure in whatever they do or like. Still absolutely love the intros and exits. Terrific idea.

[@harrykeel8557]

I like this idea, as you say it helps keep everybody up to date.

[@badcat4707]

A once a month questions and review video is a great idea !! Happy Birthday Ruger ;-) and good morning Hunter , you wonderful Soul ;-)

[@donelder8338]

I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. Love to hear what you folks are up to. May God bless you folks.

[@mickrose9633]

After watching your work out Missy it explains a lot, you work at the area's that really count and you match in your beauty inside and out. Your heart shows your beauty in your personality.... areas that count.... match..... The whole package and I know I'm not the only one who thinks this to be true!!! However I will argue that I'm the number 1 fan though. Hi Ava, hope today is a better day than yesterday.

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

First of all, Melissa, many thanks for the shout out. I was humbled with the recognition. I'm sure many others deserve it more than I do. Secondly, I love the style of this video. There are so many questions that I and others have, and it is great to hear the answers that you guys are providing. So much fun, and makes viewing future videos even more interesting. My only complaint....... Melissa's segment was way too short! Lol! Mike I love you, buddy but, well.....you know.😂

[@wyattearp1418]

Hello again, Melissa, Mike, Hunter, and the other twelve kids! Could you imagine having 12 kids. My cousin family including parents was 14. I came from family of nine. Mike would have them all trained.

[@nickolascrego5716]

Thank you and your family for such wonderful videos. And we are praying for Hunter and you all. May God continue to Bless you and keep you. Oh and Mike I think you could sell a lot of those cherry chunks to us wood turners. Once again thank you all.

[@randyloire9857]

you all asked awhile ago what to do with the saw dust from the saw mill . I came accross an idea someone was using it as compost in raised gardens. Now i know you guys dont have any raised gardens but you can also use the bark slabs for the bottom of a deep raised bed. Add the sawdust and earth along with brush or chips from a chipper to it. It makes a micro nuetrients base for the garden as it decomposes. basicly it makes free dirt for the garden.

[@merlewarnsholz2094]

Mike and Melissa - Thanks for the Q & A session. Good job explaining Hunter's autism. Your family has certainly had more than it's share of challenges. You all live as examples to the rest of us as to how to live your lives in love for one another and for others. Thanks for teaching all of us.

[@mikebrunner9155]

Hey Hunter from Western Nebraska! I miss the BK run on Saturdays. I think a monthly recap is great especially when you include some "never before seen" clips. Thanks for bringing us along on your journey.

[@OldVermontGuy]

Greettings from No. VT - Nice video. A periodic "catch up or recap" along with any burning questions answered is a good format for people like me who do watch your videos pretty much every morning with my coffee break from workshop chores. Glad to hear daughter Eva is able to head back to school.

[@eligibbs8822]

Melissa you are correct about Stanley he was a very attractive dog and even though he wasn't mine I miss seeing him,I am a dog lover I have 2 of my own and I don't know what I would do if I lost either of mine Stanley is Irreplaceable.

[@bobfuchs3627]

Thank you Mike and Melissa. Love this video. I really like it when you give us a little insight into who the Morgan's are. I also find it interesting and helpful when Mike explains why he's doing what he's doing. Don't rule out a new puppy. A special Hi to Hunter and Ty . Keep up the great videos

[@slowdancing7119]

Being a caregiver for almost 21 years I know until someone has walked in your shoes they really don't understand all the things you handle on a daily basis. I admire anyone who is a caregiver. I love the way Melissa and Mike relate to each other and to the kids. I have a cheeseburger soup recipe that I just love. It came by way of my sister in law. Love all the great videos and now its time to jump back in time as I am working my way from beginning to present on your videos.

[@maintenancebynathan2150]

GREAT IDEA. Just better and better. Pool? We love ours. Only bad thing....You don't get much done floatin around staring at the sky. Take care. God Bless yinz!

[@FLEETWOODFLYERS]

A MONTHLY RE-CAP WILL BE GREAT . SO PLEASED EVA IS BETTER . KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

[@webbbuildingmaintenanceinc2044]

Very good idea recapping the month. And dont mess with the Morgan girls they will kick butt

[@kurtdietrich5421]

So, after binge watching your videos for the last month, I'm all caught up. Great to watch you doing what you do. I love being outdoors, too. Splitting wood, projects around the yard and house. Your a wonderful couple and work so well together. I look forward to more.

[@dennisreed7181]

Mike, I like the monthly recap. It helps to put the whole picture together.

[@oldmanfred8676]

Mike, You know how I Love hand splitting! Thank you!

[@TimOutdoors]

Eva, you go girl! Melissa, you make my muscles sore. Mike, why not use the slabs for siding on the backside of the shed? It would not be seen and will shed water just fine.

[@bobpurs]

Once again intros and closing’s are awesome. Kinda cool video Mike and Melissa, good answering questions and updating what’s been happening. 👍✊

[@chrisnash2154]

I like all of the updates! A great video would be you going to the gym with wifey. Another nice video of yours was walking around town and showing us what goes on in your part of the world

[@andreprince6954]

Just a thought for the bark slabs, now you guys might not have an issue with wind with all the trees that you have but a lot of farmers use these for wind break for their livestock in the winter up here in Canada. Love the videos, keep up the good work!

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

MIKE, yinz guys really have a great channel, always thinkin on how to improve it. Thanks, Good stuff!

[@garybenedict3394]

Alright Eva glad to hear your doing better Be good to yourself.

[@wyattearp1418]

This is such a fun channel, learn a lot and everything, thanks. The winch thing and the grader thing on the John Deere were my favorite toys.

[@pedintx]

I really enjoyed this format and look forward to more videos like this. Paul from Texas

[@boomer_bob6493]

Great video, our son is on the autism spectrum with Asperger's and people have found asking if I would still have had him immunised a dangerous question to ask. They have it turned around on them when I ask why they hate people with autism so much they think not immunising their child will prevent it. As for the type of video once in a while a break from the norm is good for us viewers. Mike you are looking forward to March first as am I because it should be cool enough and now we have finally had some decent rain in my part of Australia dry enough without fire risk that I can get back out in the bush and start cutting this seasons firewood. The oppressive heat and dry of this summer has done my head in and my happy place is out in the bush, so for my mental health (and physical) I'm chomping at the bit to get back at it.

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Melissa all dogs are one of a kind. I have had several dogs over the years. They all hold a special place in my heart. However my heart is always open for the new dog. I have two right now. My oldest Melody is 12 years old and she is the female version of Stanley. She does what she wants regardless. The funniest part is when I get upset with her. She cringes like as though I beet her or something. The funniest part is I have never even smacked her. I think she does it to make me feel bad. I am telling you she is way to smart. I love rainy days. Both of my dogs watch out the window until the rain let's up to let us know they need to go. It is hilariously to watch a 95lb bull dog prance on her tippy toes. Because she doesn't like mud. Then she insists that I clean her paws when she comes back in. Melody has her sidekick daughter Lexi. Lexi gets in to trouble because mom makes her do it. We have watched Melody force Lexi to do things. If Lexi tries not to do what her mom wants. Melody will punish Lexi. I hope when you are ready you open your heart again. They will make you laugh. They always know when something is bothering you. They try to cheer you up. They are always happy to see you. Like you've been gone forever. God bless

[@douglashedrick4904]

Great video! Hats off to the Morgans.

[@lilabner7532]

Hello, Mike and Melissa I Love all of the video's you've made, I just wanted to let you know that the reason for the elm that you split up so easy because it was frozen, when it's froze like that it'll split just as easy as red oak splits, but when it's not it's one of the worst one's to split.

[@addisongardner1989]

Great workout footage (had to take a nap after watching it), and love the question and answer sessions. Proud of Hunter and his parents.

[@codezero6023]

Need to do a live show and get them super chats! Do it by neighbor Cliffs pool! Hunter is a big reason I joined your channel. My daughter has Aspbergers (sp). You all are happy caring people even though there health problems in your family.

[@randycarpenter2914]

I enjoyed the video very much. Life is never easy and we all have things that are personal to our family. Injury or sickness, disability, the main thing is never give up and remember God is always there you are never alone. God bless. I have one more thing, our family dog has been missing for 3 days. We live in a rural area my granddaughter keeps asking about her dog. I have no answer for her. He would meet her every day after school. My heart is heavy as we miss him. You can never replace a family member.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

oh I hope your dog returns home

[@DanKlein_1]

I laughed when Melissa said she had 1 dollar toward her pool fund. I was thinking about the old saying.. how do you eat an elephant.... one bite at a time. That dollar is the first bite toward building that pool.

[@maryaldrich5982]

Nicely done.. Thank you for sharing..

[@mikeengler2203]

You had we all had high hopes for 2020 but you guys adapted to it...stay safe

[@BradMyers]

It has been a while since you have done a complete review of your tractor equipment and attachments, what you like, what you have learned from using them, what you would/would not do different with your equipment and anything you wish you had that you don't.

[@jimspirnock1184]

Great video Melissa I like the idea of answering questions about once a week. Keep up the good work. Best wishes to Eva on a good recovery. hi Hunter haven’t seen you going to Burger King lately.

[@gforcesg]

glad to hear your daughter is feeling better !!! great idea having the Q & A video

[@RWong-wn3pv]

Got to love Mike’s signature handclap!

[@theoisaac3564]

Beautiful day!

[@russellbowman8051]

Mike I like the narration video!!👍👊

[@jackmargason2594]

Like the monthly wrap up and "Q and A" session. Please continue this idea.

[@rickparrott890]

Hope you feel better Eva.

[@robertinscoe2379]

Really like this idea of the Q & A once a month. Awesome workout gals.

[@bonnie8441]

The opening music at the gym with Melissa.Kept reminding me of "Joy Division-- Love will tear us apart". Loved the format Mike.

[@Robert-nf1di]

It is great to see them at the gem I can not do the stuff they do there I fall over dead and keep up the videos I love them I be glad to see you build a Barn

[@jimmyandkathyharrell]

Enjoyed the monthly summary format!

[@jeffmartinez8720]

Love your videos keep them coming. When you need a new chain on your saws put 72 LG Oregon chain and file it with a 13/64 file you will love it.

[@georgebara3883]

Good Morning Mike, you have elevated the you tube format again, 2 great ideas with the adding of the intros and the recap just loving your channel, keep up the good work

[@hartleyhomesteadmichigan6041]

Love your channel guys!

Wonderful content by yinz, thanks for sharing!

[@timidater4803]

[@wayneschnare4019]

Great idea , gives you a chance to clear things up . Hello to Hunter !!!!!

[@johnmuncy1710]

Great Recap

[@craigsudman4556]

Always hoping for a pool for Melissa, thumbs up Mike.

[@michigantler5046]

I've heard that they planted the pines close together so the lower limbs would die off leaving less or smaller knots and better lumber

[@frankhopper6269]

Well in Australia our daylight savings finish on first Sunday of April so we have it 6 months of the year and great video of recaps of what want on with your life. Regards Frank and Nanette from Australia

[@buzzmertes1715]

This is a nice once a month format. The very best to all you Morgan's, that includes the furry ones as well.

[@jimrichards8703]

Great change up . a little bit of everything. It's gotta be time consuming answering comments one by one.this way we all get the answer.

[@jamesharless5357]

Great video Guys!

[@Living-The-Dream]

I like the question/answer video.....👍🤠

[@lamarr1986]

I know Mike mentioned Melissa can have a pool out of the sales from the firewood business, but can we have confirmation of this? ha. I think she deserves one! Would make good content the building of the pool and pool house made out of your own lumber?

[@polycat7670]

This is a good update/recap video. Looking forward to the cherry wood that you are drying for your son to sell. Definitely want to get some!

[@gonzokompadre]

love the format, keep em coming

[@stephencook3868]

Really enjoy these kind of videos. .

[@johnglennon4245]

Format is great

[@jamesstraub4981]

I really enjoyed this video. It would be great to see it go monthly. BTW I really like your choice of music for your video's. Keep em coming guys.

[@edwardfinn4141]

Mike , in spite of all those new tools you have, good to see you havn’t lost your ability to split wood by hand. And I like my Fiskars splitting axe too!

[@mavos1211]

Great video, really enjoyed the format.

[@wyattearp1418]

That wood is so beautiful,

[@kens.3729]

1st - Hello Morgans!

[@elmerkruse3171]

I think mike should get a PTO wood chipper and chip all the slabs make mulch for your yard

[@evankibbe590]

Good idea. Welcome to new subscribers welcome . I'm ready for spring to . Have a great day .😊🤗💝💖🌹👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@StreetRocketJoe]

Thank you for the shoutout. I love a good Q&A. I’m totally subscribing to your channel Melissa. I enjoy cooking so I’ll be looking for some recipes. Look at mike getting good at dropping those soft woods. That was very cooperative elm. Elm is great for burning but it’s even difficult to split using a splitter.

[@StreetRocketJoe]

Melissa Morgan y’all keep up the awesome work.

[@snymat_68]

Mike, you should give a quick explanation of the purpose of the washer fluid mix in general (ie why even have the water squirt on the blade? what's it do?) and also explain the purpose of why the Pine-Sol is added. I had to look it up on "The Google", but others might be wondering as well. Have a day!

[@jeffjohansen4945]

Great video today, I always look forward to them

[@petermavus4131]

This is great....I,m often busy like you guys...and miss some content as you,ve hooked me on other channels (example:BBR) Keep those good ideas coming Morgans

[@baldbear5609]

Howdy Morgan Clan, I will agree with others in the comments that a monthly or bi-monthly Q & A video would be good. Mike I own a Fiskar axe too and to borrow a phrase from Buckin Billy "it's deadly friends". I have split yellow elm for firewood, however customers were not to happy with it because of the odor associated with it until it becomes seasoned. Around here in Southwest Ohio the yellow elm is often referred to as piss elm because of the odor. I would imagine that red elm is similar? Again great video and Have A Day!

[@waltermattson5566]

That was a cool way to recap things. You ladies are strong and fit. I hope we see Eva and Hunter again soon. It’s always nice to see the dogs too.

[@mikem3929]

just an idea, but the thicker pieces or your trimmings you could save and use as log siding for your building you're going to build. or the tree stand/cabin..

[@kennethramseysr.7613]

Happy Birthday, really enjoy your channel. Have been watching all your videos from #1. Now on #180. I want to see them all. God Bless.
