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.

[@PatrickCPalmer]

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

[@wyattearp1418]

That wood is so beautiful,

[@rickparrott890]

Hope you feel better Eva.

Use the bark slabs for campfires....

[@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.

[@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

[@johnmuncy1710]

Great Recap

[@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.

[@RagsdaleCreek]

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

[@russellbowman8051]

Mike I like the narration video!!👍👊

[@TheSnakeman3]

I like the voiceover answers.

[@dougspaulding3240]

Good for once a month updates

[@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!

[@stephencook3868]

Really enjoy these kind of videos. .

[@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!!

[@elmerkruse3171]

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

[@pedintx]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@hartleyhomesteadmichigan6041]

Love your channel guys!

[@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 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@nickpetrancosta9591]

Your awesome

[@markhampton3599]

More of the cherry we have here in North fl. Is a cherry Laurel !!! Beautiful but hard to deal with in making stuff !!

[@dougmoore7116]

Thumbs up

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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..

[@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!

[@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.

[@ceaser6411]

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

[@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.

[@Laughinghawg]

Mike, If you think the red elm is tough and stringy, try some tulip poplar

[@erichk1674]

Interesting video , different, I like it . Miss Eva is a trooper . There is good burning wood in those slats . Maybe bundle them in 6 or 8 foot sections and sell them ?

[@mikeengler2203]

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

[@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.

[@chickenman1524]

well wish me luck here in Virginia we may get the 100 years rain like you got in the summer tomorrow 2/6/20

[@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!

[@wyattearp1418]

Like this video too

Cherry is GEORGEOUS wood....I want to send you a pic of thing I have made from kiln dried rough cut cherry I purchased in Oxford MD, it came from Western PA...

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.

[@brendawiseman1232]

Hi guys from Allen and w from canada

[@BK245595]

Neat vid

[@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

[@russellfisher1899]

Mike, when Melissa was running the splitter you pointed out that she was following good safety practices with her hands and arms. I know that you both do a lot of work there in the yard or out in the woods often by yourselves. Do you have any concerns about something happening to one of you (Heaven forbid) while your out there alone?

[@DrakeMiester]

Our rental tenants son is autistic . It took a little time for him to warm up to me,I guess I tend to be a little intimidating some have said ,but over the past few years he has become quite the conversationalist when I got out for repairs or rent. It was kind of hard to understand him in the beginning,but if you take the time and really listen to them,they are really no different than any other child or young adult.

[@fredyoung4055]

What is the purpose of the pine solvent

[@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.

[@carmineiadeluca935]

Hi Eva ... You're the Best 💪 🇺🇸🌹 🍪 Hang in there 😎

[@genecarr4568]

Hey Melissa, I have a question for you. I was watching one of your older videos #416 and the garden tour at your friends house. I am curious, does your friend have a set of plans (with measurements) for the composting bins they made? Oh yea, I have another caption for you loading firewood in the mud " Melissa doin' the electric slide on two boards". See Mike's reaction to that one!

[@ori8218]

I have friends that use the bark slabs for corduroy roads thru wet areas.

[@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!

[@slamsshenanigans2296]

So glad Eva is doing good! New question for next session; when is your RK deal up, have they changed or extended it?

[@theoisaac3564]

Beautiful day!

Give Melissa a pool mike

[@alianapaetzell1704]

You guy should call it monday recap with all the comments thought out the week. film the questions you guys get asked all on that videos you do that week. Put it on all mondays or even monthly recap.. Just a thought

[@craigsudman4556]

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

[@greggb3079]

Thank you very much for giving us a peek into Hunter and autism. I must confess that I had/have many questions about it and Hunter in particular, but felt that that is a very private matter, and none of my business. I like seeing Hunter going with Mike on Saturday's for his Burger King sandwich. Shout out to "Hunter"... Those damn dogs! You can't live with them sometimes, but you can't live without them. The type of dog that "Stanley" was to you folks, well I just don't think you get to pick them. I believe they somehow seek you out or come into your life when you least expect it... Almost 2yrs ago we made a big relocation to a new State, however a year prior to that, we had to "put down" two old (13yrs) dogs (litter mates) who had begun to have bad seizures. We were without dogs for almost a year. Once we got settled in we went to the local county animal shelter and two dogs picked us as their humans, and we brought them home... They are great dogs. Always love watching your videos. Thank you Morgan's.

[@dougsmith9099]

How much is the weight of the skidding winch

[@carlreape1190]

Elm is no joke.

[@dennisreed7181]

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

[@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.

With all the hard work your doing you deserve a hot tub beside that swimming pool.

[@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.

[@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.

[@webbbuildingmaintenanceinc2044]

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

[@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.

[@nickjm37fordel1]

Want to see the Hamburger Soup :-) Searched your channel and didn't find it :-((

[@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

Enjoyed the monthly summary format!

[@donelder8338]

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

[@robertinscoe2379]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@harrykeel8557]

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@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.

[@RWong-wn3pv]

Got to love Mike’s signature handclap!

[@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

[@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.

[@johnglennon4245]

Format is great

What front end loader do you have on your RK55 tractor and what is the lift capacity. Thinking of buying a new tractor to lift logs for my sawmill. Would you recommend the Rural King brand?
