I vote for more Trail Cam videos/photos. You do a fantastic job keeping everyone's interest. Love your channel.

[@matthewsims359]

I second that

[@Trumptrain2024Vance]

Wake up America! 40 million acres sold to China our farm land! Something is seriously wrong people!

[@JimmyHensley36]

I third it lol . Love the pics / videos

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Thanks! Will do!

[@jimjensen1414]

YES, LOVE looking at any and all wildlife !!!!

[@markecklund3125]

After watching the first few minutes of the drive, Mike Morgan..... I was reminded of a cliche I used to hear about my MICHIGAN weather when the season changed. : "GRAY 'TILL MAY". Looking at the horizon through the windshield of the Super Duty brought back some memories and thoughts of WHY I now live in the south

[@PatriotUpNorth]

Love the WV property, big fan of the rows of pines, just beautiful. I would love to see more trail cam pics, just so refreshing and relaxing! Thanks Mike! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼

[@sidqcampbell6892]

This last newsletter was awesome!

[@HallnoutMhall]

Hello Morgans and friends. I love being in the pines with the wind blowing and snow. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Thanks

[@lonniechartrand]

I always enjoy the trail cam pics. I have both cellular and regular game cameras on my farm, and it is like Christmas every time I pull the SD cards to see what I got!

[@Swahnod]

I agree with you, it is fascinating to watch any animals when they do not realize they are being watched. Hope you can post more.

[@BrickHouse-w8e]

Love that video from the trailcam Mike. Yes, 42 seconds of video is literally 1000 pictures (at 24 frames per second). It’s so worth it though, to see the movement. 😊

[@williamhill9432]

Love the videos from WVA. Please keep them coming Mike. Miss seeing “the hunt man”. Please give him our best wishes for 2024.

[@marcuswhite3628]

Yes,Yes &YES on the videos!!! Good luck on battery selection. Mike, on your newsletter, maybe have a space where some of us OWTMs can write about… whatever. Y’all would be able to select and edit if necessary but we all could benefit from each other.

[@warriorwoodworking5136]

I have a deep love for West Virginia. I spent two years there back in the 80s. How fortunate you are to have such a beautiful place to travel to for some good outdoor therapy.

[@Spruce_ridge_farm]

I know I'm not the only large scale logger drooling, looking at that pine patch hahah

[@jmalone2758]

Personally Mike, I think when hemlocks are heavily snow covered mother nature just painted one of her best pictures. They're also good cover and shelter from the cold air. Always plenty of little twigs beneath them to start a fire with. The lumber looks good and making furniture out of the heart wood is always a special treat. Thanks for braving our cold air and slick roads and taking us along for another wild wonderful West Virginia adventure.

[@jamesbaker3386]

It's amazing how nature thrives when undisturbed by humanity.

[@boooshes]

Of course, most of those trees were planted by humans.

[@MrDan-my5qc]

Newer viewer, I heard you say not much planned for the cabin area and laughed. I can already tell your a project guy and could see your mind turning as you strolled through your property. Enjoy the video's and all your equipment.

[@Jeff-zk6dk]

Love the west Virginia video's can't wait to see the big pines dropping and then turning into lumber and I vote yes to more game camera footage keep all videos rolling mike👍🏻

[@calblue95482]

Love whatever wildlife videos you can provide!!! Its a kick!!

[@TroySR71]

Mike, maybe check and see if you have a time lapse setting on the trail camera's. I'm not sure, but I believe that setting might save you battery life and will also free up additional gigs on the SD cards.

[@JimG31547]

Would love to see more video clips of the wildlife.

[@i.r.wayright1457]

If the wind predictions are right for the middle of next week, you might have lots more lumber and firewood to process. Two thumbs up on the game cam videos.

[@tomclark3986]

yes yes yes on the videos of the wild life! love it.

[@rogercarter8649]

Love the trail action, keep it up Mike

[@judicockrell7852]

Please take someone with you to WV when you are in the woods cutting trees. Your viewers worry about you. Safety first. Enjoy all your content. Happy New Year to you and family.

[@JustAFlyover]

My thoughts too!

[@robertmorris3919]

Love the video! Keep the trail camera videos coming! Truly enjoy those too!

[@steveallison7940]

From a forestry standpoint and the health of the trees, that pine stand needs some major thinning to allow the healthy trees to reach their full potential.

[@neilmummert8471]

Yes please keep sending the trail camera videos. Love your channel and I am really excited to see how you finish the cabin interior!!

[@steveguenthner6697]

Love the videos, keep them coming!

[@timber240]

I like trail cams lots of fun watching

[@michaelmullins1290]

You have two beautiful properties. Hopefully you can get the big pine down easy enough. I'm sure you'll direct them as you have in the past.

[@johnmuncy4872]

What a great place you have in WV also I really like your game room with the wood burner. You two are a good example of what you can achieve if you are willing to work hard.

[@JimmyHensley36]

I love the trail cams pics/ videos , may I suggest solar panels I run several trail cams with solar panels and I have a couple that only get a couple hrs of daylight a day , they stay at 100 percent all year . I run Duracell batteries and they been out all year and still say 100 percent and thats because they run off solar panels that have an internal battery on the panel . The batteries are really just a backup for days with no to very minimum sun . Also I run a little cover over the top of my cameras Mike and have learned they last a lot longer if you keep that rain / snow off the camera . I run the Tactacam gen 1 cameras and also have the cold temps and some snow here in NC at the bottom of the mtns .

[@aaronbaum2542]

Thank you for taking me along with you! That was a fun winter trip to WV and the wildlife is so much fun to watch!!😊

[@danielclapp636]

Yes Mike, I love game cams. We have a couple out most of the time at my place in central Maine. Lots of deer and squirrels. Had a dandy coyote stop and pose for a picture awhile back. We are expecting and major storm Tuesday into Wednesday of next week. Anyway, keep videos coming and say howdy to family.

[@tommyordoyne7461]

By taking out just a few trees, you could start a small clearing for the next cabin. Also, try solar power for the camera in WV. Have a productive day.

[@terrygroce1594]

Beautiful view in WV around the cabin. Love the video. HOpe you guys are doing well.

[@barrycarlton3012]

Hey Mike, love your channel brother! I couldn’t help but notice on your video today that when you filled up your tank and was checking your mileage below your fuel gauge, you still have the trailer symbol when you are in fact, not pulling anything. Be sure to go to your vehicle settings and turn the trailer setting off or it will throw your mileage off. My 2023 SD does the same thing at times. Just a bug that Ford didn’t fix yet. Keep up the good work!

[@brushymt1]

Hi Mike, definitely show some of the videos. Nature is great! Also, exploring more of your land is cool too. We are watching to see if the Nor'easter comes through, it changes the scenery for sure.

[@NeighborlyHomestead]

I really like the trail cam pictures and videos. I always enjoy checking mine.

[@nicklundgren5453]

Mike, Try a solar panel for the trail camera. They work really well as long as you get the correct one for the camera. It'll save you a ton of money on batteries!

[@larrylong8738]

We love getting the pictures from our trail cameras. Never know what you will see.

[@johnkirby6547]

Hi Mike, Thanks for sharing another awesome video. Love the wildlife cams, like they all gathered to say thanks for the food. Hope the bigger battery works in the cold temps..

[@terryclement9811]

Mike, change your cameras to send once per day in the warmest part of the day. Battery life will be much better. Also the lithium batteries and a solar charger. I’m running Tatacam cameras. Good luck!

[@slipshankd1307]

I hope it don't snow down here in S E Texas. We rarely get snow here but the last few years have been killers. All our pluming is only 1' deep and thin insulation under the house, so we are not really ready for snow. If we do get below 30 degrees I shut everything off and drain the lines. If the tree hangs up, pull it out with the tractor. Thinning makes the trees grow better. I watch the Brownsville Maine videos where they feed the deer through the winter.

[@melaniesmith6565]

Yes more trail cam. Vedio

[@steveashworth6707]

I like the trail cam videos!.

[@peterbrunetto8062]

Great videos Mike , RELAXING TIME!

[@paulbarr3981]

Critter Cam footage, stills and video I can watch for hours. Yes, I appreciate them.

[@WestPaPyro]

Got my first newsletter, woo-hoo. Thanks Mike

[@Tdale85]

Hello! We’ll be getting that storm Saturday into Sunday. Ending with rain overnight to get rid of any snow. In the 50’s by Tuesday for SE PA

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Good mileage on your trip Mike and a beautiful ride along with you. Sure like those camera phoyos and videos but those batteries do get expencive for sure. The winter scenes in W VA are awesome and so peaceful. Stay safe and keep up the great projects around both places. Fred.

[@trev7382]

Hey Mike, The Trail Videos are Great! Maybe a solar panel might help although the shade would inhibit full charging.

[@robk1310]

My gasoline 2018 RAM 1500 has MDS. It shuts down four cylinders when they are not required. On the highway I average between 19 and 22 MPG, depending on how long my trip is. I am glad I have that. It helps me save $$.

[@johny364]

Love the trail cam vids. Thanks

[@dave-uf8ir]

Excellent mike cheers 🥂 😊

[@JerryGarnett]

👍🏼for the trail cam pics and videos even better! Always enjoy your videos! We also are forecasted to get 4-6 of snow here in NW Oklahoma on Friday. 🤙🏼🇺🇸

[@bobraymond6135]

Some good looking logs there for sure. You should be set for pine for a long time.

[@rcollins5018]

Thanks! For your time and sincere giving of yourself.

[@athomeinthesouth01]

I believe you mentioned bringing some pine from your cabin back to your sawmill. You may want to check the laws about transporting logs across state lines. I think some states have laws against it due to diseases and insects.

[@MikeMartin-o2p]

Love the video footage..

[@thomasstrout1738]

Nice video Mike, thanks. Pretty good mileage for such a large and heavy truck. That is better than my 5.3 in my half ton GMC! Up here in NH we have a lot of White Pine and Hemlock, both are very useful.

[@bryanlloyd1099]

I also would like to see more videos from WV in 2024 and that was some great gas mileage for the Ford!

[@wolfpack4128]

I run around 80 Spypoints and Spartans. Around 40 of the Spypoints are Flexes. I built my own solar panels with lithium ion batteries. Hand built everything so i could be sure what I was getting (been burned by chinese lithium cells that lose capactiry too quickly). Spypoint and Herd360 sell solar panels with built in lithium packs that work great. Just as well as my home made ones in my testing. I have also built external power supplies out of ammo boxes and sealed lead acid batteries. If you are in a spot where you get no sunlight to charge the solar packs that is an option. However if you can clear a couple trees and get a couple hours of sunlight to the solar pack that is the way to go. I have Flexes I haven't touched in over a year.

[@markkelso1141]

Hey Mike, instead of changing batteries all the time in those cameras, get yourself a small 12v battery and use the provided cord that comes with the cameras. It will last months. Great videos as always god bless.

[@caseyspradlin1462]

Yes indeed, love seeing pictures of the wildlife.

[@smitty4912]

I Love seeing your drive up to the cabin and the snow. Concerning the battery life on the trail cameras, have you thought of using rechargeable batteries and a small solar panel attached to the tree hooked up to the camera?

[@shartne]

There is not any sun there in the trees. It has to be full sun for solar panels to work.

[@SMITTY19722]

Beautiful out there annnndd good morning outdoors fam👋👋

[@peterwilliams2824]

Mike, know we’re both getting older and won’t be surprised when you can’t find a trail cam out in either properties 😅

[@Cantsaydog]

Beautiful camp I don’t mean to make you angry in anyway I was just curious about how close it was to the ground for moisture coming up enough said on that. you guys are a great channel hard-working Americans Need more of us💯✊🇺🇸

[@davidbishop4015]

WV property looks great with the snow. I enjoy both video and pictures from the trail cams. Stay safe.

[@thomasbogenschutzjr9854]

You may want to try lithium AA batteries for your trail cams. Overreach makes them. I use them in my wireless weather center. Made for cold weather conditions. They last a whole year outside.

[@Bernie5172]

Good onya Mike .some great scenes here

[@Angkertvg]

Amazing 🙏❤❤❤👍

[@582ChevelleSS]

With all those trees it would be easy to build a guest tree house

[@philsmock4943]

Videos of wildlife...bring them on. Great watching. Thanks for sharing.

[@stevehenry2142]

Vid clips from WV were very good.

[@barrycarlton3012]

Man that image of the trees with the snow on them would be a great addition for your next calendar👌🏼

[@jamesharper5506]

Yes please more video. I have 5 cameras on my property and love to see all the pictures.

[@jimhoge3252]

Solar panel for the Reveal works great for me

[@TwoCaptainsOneShip]

Mike, always great videos man....love the content....thanks!!

[@ericreinoehl4350]

Cam shots are pretty good. Good luck with batteries in the cold. That set of batteries may have been worm taking that much video. Thanks for sharing 👍

[@clarenceburton9654]

Yeah I like watching the short videos of the animals , keep them coming , thanks for sharing !! 👍🙏😎

[@bradleykuechle7586]

Hey Mike, you should look into the solar option for the spy point camera. A friend of mine has quite a few of them and they work great! God Bless and have a great day!

[@dylan8285]

Definitely be interesting to see how dropping the white pine will go I’d say probably send em into the red pines they tend to have less branches and there more brittle so less chance of hang ups

[@franklackie2469]

You certainly can make them pines land where you want them Mike

[@williamwelling4872]

The clips are great mike keep them coming cheers

[@BarrettGreg]

Solar panels are very nice. I was so tired of changing batteries. Not changed one battery since. now i have 5 cameras all cell.

[@raymondbrown3385]

Love the video clips

[@terryknesek6922]

Yes love the videos

[@holymoly6829]

Mike Just got you on my 4K tv 55 in 🤗🤗🤗 Looks cold down there 👍👍

[@fredpatterson6831]

U definitely need to check on the ice at the lake for me lol, great video as always.

[@bishopkinlyside8477]

Hi Mike, wow what a beautiful part of the world the cabinet just looks absolutely wonderful with a bit of snow on it. It’s probably funny to tell you I’ve never ever seen snow living in Queensland Australia. Always hot we do get in winter down to -5c but that’s pretty rare in winter. Keep up the good work love the videos. Looking forward to all the work you going to do in 2024 Cliff from Logan City, Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺👨🏻‍🦽

[@reidarberger4682]

Hi Mike Her in Norway its -5F too day. And 3 ft. snow. Have a day. 🥳😀

[@JustAFlyover]

Definitely enjoy the video clips of the animals.

[@devries17004]

Good afternoon everyone

[@ThomasLips]

A very good afternoon to you too!

[@CRice-ln8lm]

Did you ever get those Oak trees out of your neighbors gully where they had them taken down? With the cold weather coming, the ground should freeze. There was a lot of good wood that you may have forgotten about with your busy life.

[@livewire4495]

Great Music!

[@PatrickCPalmer]

WV property looks beautiful in the winter.

[@JustAFlyover]

Hey Melissa, that new couch looks good on the videos at the table. 😊

[@dragonmaster228107]

Mr. Morgan, the broken pine branches, do they contain a high amount of Resin, i.e., Fat Wood? Highly flammable fire starter I believe.

[@OutdoorsWithTheMorgans]

Yes they do

[@WorkingWithJaimeG]

Yes, please, more video from cabin
