Hey Mike & Melisa, I have been following y’all now for about a month or so and I throughly enjoy your channel. While I don’t have a sawmill, a firewood operation, or construction equipment I get so drawn into what you do. I am a kind of intermediate woodworker and have learned several things about both woodworking and lumber by watching y’all. And I also have to say that I do agree with you from a political stance. My dad was a 23 year U. S. Navy veteran and while he was from Nebraska and my mom was originally from here in South Carolina, her parents moved to just outside of Annapolis Maryland when she was a young girl. I was born at the U. S. Naval hospital in Annapolis at the Naval Academy. While we lived in many places during dad’s career we lived in Maryland until my early 20’s and I spent a lot of time up around your WV property and some time up in the western Pa. area as well. I do really enjoy your channel and have also watch some of your wife and daughter Eva’s channels as well. Keep up the fantastic content on all 3 channels. I now live in northwestern South Carolina and while I do enjoy this area very much, there are many aspects of the Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania area that still hold a special place in my heart. You’ve asked several times about fuel prices in different areas. Here in the Spartanburg/Greenville area diesel is currently $4.39 for road diesel, not sure what off road fuel prices are as I have nothing that uses it. But like I said, I really enjoy the channel, keep up the great job you do running it.

[@mxracer342]

I just recently started watching your channel ... I'm trying to start up a firewood business myself. I've heated with wood for 10 years, love cutting and splitting wood, so I'm taking a shot! Love your channel and your positive vibes and the fact you'll speak what's on your mind. Best of luck from Cookeville TN!

[@lendevonuk5479]

Hiya Mike, starting to really like your perception on life…it simply makes sense! I am from Newton Abbot in Devon UK. Most unfortunately I shall not be at the PB show….maybe next year to meet some of you woodhounds! Regards Len (Devon 🇬🇧)

[@ralphjelomono9068]

Great video Mike. I had a wonderful boss who had the same advice, " don't worry about things you can't control". We sometimes had 12-14 planes down for maintenance and it was a mad house in the shop. Often parts shortage or unforeseen issues cropped up that blew schedule and people would get tense. But it was out of our control. That's when the boss would calm things down with the famous statement. Thanks from Early Branch, SC . Looking forward to fall and winter here in the low country.

[@daveellis2117]

Hi Mike. We live in rural Iowa south of Des Moines. Yes we are coming to the Paul Bunyon Show and looking forward to meeting you in person. Thanks for all you work with the videos. Enjoy them very much.

[@ScottfromNB]

Good morning from southern New Brunswick, Canada. Love the content. To go along with focusing on what you control, I like when you seem to focus more on what's the same among people. Too much importance is given to differences.

[@jeffrussell2337]

I am from Tupelo Mississippi. Still hot down here. Love your videos. Helps me put a real perspective on life and what is going in our country. I feel the same as you. Worry about what I can control. God bless

[@FirewoodinFontana]

Lebanon PA, and after watching your channel for a year I went out and purchased firewood equipment and started selling firewood. It’s so relaxing to spend a whole day in the wood yard splitting wood.

[@janasunnarborg8525]

I watch your channel from Bavaria, Germany. I grew up in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan and spent days, weeks and years making firewood with my dad. We only heated with wood. We had 3 woodstoves plus a wood fired sauna that heated all of our household hot water. I remember one time we were asked to write an essay in school about what we did on Labor Day weekend. We, as a family, had gone out in the woods to harvest fallen trees and cut them into firewood. My teacher said this is no family outing!! My dad had several different kinds of splitting machines, but there is nothing so satisfying as learning how to split wood by hand. My dad taught us when I was 11 and my sister was 10.

[@TomCrockett-ip5rf]

that teacher was wrong!Anytime a family is participating in an event together is a family outing.

[@sherimcgill5139]

From Jeffersonville, Indiana. Good advice to only worry about what you can control. I rarely watch the news anymore for that reason. Yes, it’s amazing how much information is at our fingertips. I love all sorts of knowledge and history as well.

[@vogelj2009]

Love the fresh cut wood and your attitude towards life. Mine has always been to be the sea weed. Move with the tide safe and controlled. Keep up the good work Mike.

[@robk1310]

The Gift of Failure by Dan Bongino, is a great book. We learn through our mistakes and failures, it’s the people that don’t give up and keep working towards their goals that succeed. I am from Baldwinsville NY, a nice river community in the northwest corner of Onondaga county. I would go to Boonville. Paul Bunyan is too far away from me.

[@gordonhagge7195]

Hi Mike. As I watch you split firewood, it reminds me of the days I split wood. My cousins and I sold a cord of Live Oak for $30 and $35 delivered. We used a 8 foot bed pickup and a horse trailer. To cut rounds we had an old circular saw run by belt off of a 35 Chevrolet flat bed. I am now in Lanexa, Virginia.

Enjoy your video, really down to earth. You asked to where I from, well, retired military…did the European tour, then worked on the railroads, construction side, NS, CONRAIL, CSX. Now retired again, live outside of Nashville Tennessee.

[@SteelheadTed]

One of the best books I read recently was Cache Lake Country by John Rowlands. Not really a history book but I think the watchers of this channel would appreciate this wisdom about the woods, woodcraft, nature and a tale of self reliance. There are so many great illustrations and how-to’s that are fun to recreate in modern times. Just a lot of fun.

[@dougdegraff5892]

Good books anything by Louis l’Amour. I’m from Central California east of Modesto. Unfortunately today’s economy will preclude any long trips including Paul Bunion show. I very much enjoy watching your channel I grew up in the logging woods. My dad was a feller and ran exclusively Stihl equipment the legendary 090 with a 48” bar mainly cutting old growth yellow pine, sugar pine, Doug fir, and Cedar. He worked in the sierra’s north of and south of Yosemite National Park. In the winters and during summer vacation I would go up and follow him around as his pack mule, with the gas can, bar oil, sack of tools and files for keeping the chain sharp, and of course the all important lunch box and canteen. In the winter we wood cut firewood mainly downed oak we had spotted while we were cutting timber during the summer. Growing up doing this convinced me to talk to an Air Force recruiter after graduating high school, where I spent the next twenty years. Dad worked on another few years and then changed professions. But his tenure in the woods was twenty five years. And today at 92 years of age I’d still hate to make him mad enough to give me a whooping… lol… 😂

[@DouglasFergen-pq9ru]

I see so much of my Dad in you! He was a farmer but just the way you two run the tractor you could be from the same family! RIP, Dad!

[@realairplane261]

Doug, I appreciate your thoughts for your dad. Same here.

[@johnsadler8637]

Same. Watching him teach Eva the mini-ex reminded me of my dad teaching me just about anything. Ride with him a round, he rode with me a round, he sent me on a round solo, and by the time I came back around, he was busy doing something else.

Wow the shower house sounds interesting. I am pretty creative but can’t seem to visualize the shower house. Will it have a direct access to the cabin? Are you using a cistern as water there?

Hi. I'm from Haliburton Ontario Canada, I enjoy your videos and your outlook on things. I have a small massey ferguson tractor gc1705 and cut firewood for my own use. Keep up the good work.

[@oakrunacres2564]

Dave from Melbourne, Ontario Canada. I'm not a reader so I can't help you out with a book recommendation. I bought a set of 3M headphones after you recommending them and I love them. I just listen to music and it helps me to not miss any calls or messages when I'm making noise. I'm with you on the wood stacking. it's not the greatest job in the world but it is a good feeling when you take a tree from start to finish and make a nice stack of wood or fill and IBC tote. Also like you I don't worry about what I can't controlled. I'm retired now but when I was working there was always those people that got all bent out of shape about some policy change or something like that. I would tell them to either do something about it or stop talking about it because all the talking is just going to get everyone worked up. If it's going to happen it's going to happen and getting all worried about it isn't going to change anything. Dave

[@jamessanders4310]

I would suggest that you put a date split on the baskets. With your firewood stored in different areas it's going to be difficult to remember how old the wood is..(at least it would be for me). Your videos that have become my favorites are the W VA cabin and the little clearing project...keep on n with the great videos . I especially like the wildlife shots from the game cameras..

[@mrice2488]

Mike, I love your videos!! Your common sense is one of the major reasons, I follow you. I'm a retired school teacher from West Virginia. Always recommend the greatest book ever written, the Bible. Keep doing what your doing!!

[@utrockhound]

Hey Mike I have been watching from near the start of your channel. Got my L2501 based largely on your L3901 experience. I make maps for a living, mostly subsurface, but a fun exercise is to use Google Earth, not maps, to look at aerial images of your place from the past. There is a tool bar that allows you to change the imagery by year of the pictures they have for your area. You can go way back when your wood-yard was lined with windrows of firewood and before.

[@joangibson859]

I am on the 5-acre old farm my parents bought in 1937 just off University Avenue in Morgantown, WV. I can hear the games and the band practicing from my home. I do a lot of mowing w/ my Simplicity Garden tractor as there are 2 large fields in addition to what I call the lawn. I also have a 17 cu ' cart from Lowes which I use to haul brush, etc. I have a battery chain saw, pole cutter, and hedge shears (great for briar thickets, etc.). It allows me to take care of the place myself. I like your choice of listening. I usually listen to either WAJR from 12:00-3:00 and then KUSC (a classical music station from southern CA). I do not listen to news per se and am very selective as to what I listen/watch (no TV since 2013).

[@johnsadler8637]

Greetings Mike, Melissa, Hunter, Eva, and all the emerging branches of the Morgan family tree! I’ve been a fan since middle double digit video numbers and have watched almost all the earlier ones. I’ve learned a lot along the way, much of which helps with operations on the western Ozarks farm, running the old Ford 3000 or either the old or new chainsaw. The farm is mixed hardwood, mostly oaks, hickory, sycamore, walnut, hackberry, some small wild cherry, and dogwood. Elms mostly have died off. I wish the locusts would develop a disease like elms did. I’ll tolerate the also-thorny Osage Orange for its beneficial uses. Anyway, we’re in NCNC now to be near kids and grandkids, so my practical applications for what Mike teaches me happen in spurts a couple-three times a year. I haven’t developed a taste for non-fiction in retirement after being force fed management and self-improvement books while working. I listed some current fiction writers I’ll follow in a reply to Jack Lachman below. I appreciate your suggestion of Spotify as a podcast source - mostly I’ve been sourcing from podcasters directly. But I’m going to have 15 hours to listen twice before Thanksgiving, so it would be good to find a couple audio books. Re the thing you can control - that resonates, but there’s one more level that might be helpful that I learned somewhere along the career. Consider a circle encompassing what you can control, which is what you mention worrying about. Then outside that circle is a whole pile of things you can influence to some degree. Draw (mentally) a second circle around that. Everything else is totally out of our influence, let alone control. And definitely not helpful to worry about. It is often helpful to ponder things we can influence, especially those things close to but just outside the control circle. And by worrying, I’m sure you mean thinking about what to do about things and not just fretting over them, right? Good video - lots to think about!

[@douglashingsbergen4304]

Years ago a buddy of mine who also grew up in Hamilton Ohio worked summers in Idaho as a hunting guide and horseback trail guide had a special client history professor that he guided through Idaho the length of the Lewis and Clark trail. When we went bear hunting in the Idaho mountains he pointed out a number of historical places that the professor had included in one of the best historical accounts of the expedition that I have read, Undaunted Courage. After reading that I poured into other works that the history professor had written about Eisenhower and World War II. One of the books was made into a mini-series Band of Brothers. I would recommend any of the books that the history professor, Stephen Ambrose, had written.

"It Doesn't Take a Hero" H. Norman Schwarzkopf. Best book I have ever read. As a military veteran of 25 years, I was fortunate to meet him once in my life. Such a great leader, husband and family man. The story of his life and background is intriguing. I have read this many times!

[@juanitalerssen7335]

Gen. Schwartzkopf is the type of military leader we need today. I was hoping he would have run for POTUS, he would have been great. I'm a Nam vet, 4th inf. intended to stay in service but became very, VERY disillusioned while there.

Sir, been watching for years and love your videos. My wife and I live in El Dorado, California, in a rural area in the foothills of the Sierras. Been here 25 years, bought our 20 acres that had nothing on it but trees, no utilities or anything but eventually made ourselves a farm with goats, gardens, chickens and dogs. We cut all our own firewood and do all of the work ourselves. I especially like it when you talk about your thoughts and philosophy. I understand how keeping up on the world situation can get to you. I had to find out on my own till I came to the same conclusion as you have, take care of your own situation and control only what you can. I love all the power equipment you have and how they would make my life a lot easier. I have a 32 hp John Deere but wish I had a small dozer. I wish you all the best in your life, Chris

Mike as always your videos are enjoyable to watch and learn from. Have the headphones as well and as you I enjoy listening to subjects I can learn something from. Out this morning splitting wood behind the wolf ridge here in Arkansas taking a break watching your content. Oh, I got my fire starter yesterday and I must say your product is the best I’ve ever used, much better that the little bricks I used to buy from Walmart and break in half to start my fires. Those had an awful smell and your stuff is like popery. I just love your product, thanks for providing it I do enjoy the ease of fire building with it. Have a day!!!!!!

[@JT-gy5zx]

Hi Mike, JT here (rubbing together the hands of anticipation 😀). I’m from Banbridge, Northern Ireland. I enjoy doing most of the things you do but on a tiny scale. Now I’m retired I spend my days maintaining my trails, pruning trees with my battery chainsaw and 8 inch pruning saw. I make enough firewood to keep our wood fires going all winter. Couldn’t love it more and all you do resonates so much with me. I love to listen to audiobooks when doing all this as well as mowing the lawn. (Bose Bluetooth headphones - they’re so comfy and surprisingly durable). I prefer mostly fiction (we have that nonsense around election time too and I keep exposure to that to a minimum). I listen to a wide variety of books. The Harry Bosch series by Michael Connelly is great. One of my go tos is the Lord of the Rings trilogy. For non fiction I enjoyed Tim Peake’s autobiography, Limitless (he’s an English astronaut). Loving your channel. Keep up the good work.

I, too, listen to Glenn Beck...and audio books. Since you enjoy history (you're a man after my own heart since I am a college history professor) I recommend two audio books from the Vietnam War which occurred as you and I grew up. The first is called "Hunter Killers" which tells the story of F-105s which set out to destroy N Vietnamese SAM sites.

Afternoon Mike. I have been watching your channel now for about 3 years. Love all the different content you guys/gals put out. We live in Youngstown Oh. Small world that you buy your trailers from Greenford Tractor Sales. My older brother worked for the family in the early 2000s. Great quality trailers and family. Keep up the great work and good luck on the upcoming deer season!

We live in Ransomville, New York (rural Niagara county) on the shore of Lake Ontario. I thing listening to smart people, whether you agree with them or not, helps keep your brain active. I have bought a lot of books after hearing the author talk on a podcast. Keep the good work.
