I Just Walked Away From it All

[@ThaidupwiththeMorgans]

Congratulations Dad, you found something you love and you got after it and made it work. You’ve always been the best example of what work ethic really means. I remember as a kid visiting all the job sites, seeing equipment, or watching you plow snow, going to build decks with you. I remember it all and never fully understood it until I had a family of my own and had to provide for them. Never once heard you complain about having to drive 10 hours, or when you were just about to get some rest then getting a call to have to go plow snow. Thank you for it all. We are all excited for what is to come next and here to help. -Second son Levi

[@d.a.ballou9740]

Levi - You may be the NUMBER TWO son, but I don't believe you are "second" to anyone! And I certainly don't think Ty or your parents think you are "second" to anyone. :)

[@mickrose9633]

Your a good son Levi and it's clear by your words your mom & dad raised you right.and they both don't come any better. Aloha Mick

[@hermayneMUNSTER]

Levi, beautiful words for the "old" young man! Parents think when the kids are small they don't remember much but to their surprise they do. Been watching this channel for a few years, my wife always knows what I'm watching hearing Mike and Melissa's voice. Hard work and good work ethic is starting to be rare now a days, glad to see Mike move onto the next chapter in his life and the recognition you gave them reassures them they raised y'all right! Congrats!

[@python3574]

Could NOT be happier for you! I'm also 54, and have been "retired" for 4 yrs. I worked for "the man" since getting out of school, finally reached the end of my rope with that, started my own company, grew it, became the top company in our line of work, then got sick and tired of dealing with the govt.....and pulled the ejection cord at 50. In 10 yrs of owning company, never had an employee quit, never fired one, never laid off, and grew it from 6 people to 30 people. Everybody says "you're gonna miss it", "you're gonna get bored", "You'll regret it". Let me tell you, I don't, I haven't, and I only regret not doing it sooner. Loved the work, loved all the guys and the fun we had, etc...., but I have never looked back. I'm so busy at our cabin property all the time, I'm not sure how I ever kept up with it WHILE working. I could see your exit coming, and the day you got the excavator, I knew it was on the horizon. Between the projects you had going, and the ones you must have in mind to commit to that, plus all the other stuff, plus how you and Melissa have mentioned how last year affected and helped Hunter and his schedule, etc....it was obvious work was only slowing you down and holding back progress. You're not going to regret this one bit, neither is Melissa. Your whole family just took a giant LEAP in a good direction. And BTW, once I got out of office and set sail on my own projects and schedule full time, I dropped 40 lbs, am in the best shape I've been in since High School, and am so much more happy, and less grumpy....it's been a literal Life Changer. You'll see. Best of luck and Congratulations!

[@lonniechartrand]

I echo your comments completely! I retired at 60 (early out at company expense). That was five years ago and NO REGRETS! After42 years of utility work I WAS READY!!!

[@timgiles9413]

I'm 58, and after retiring from the military after 21 years I started and own my trucking company for 20 years now and like you, am about done "because of my government". They pick winners and losers regardless of well....anything. I'm ready to throw in the towel, move to the mountains and live on an old dirt road named "Leave me the heck alone road".

I haven't watched your channel for about 9 months now Mike and this is the first vid I decided to watch, Just want to say good for you Mike, something made me watch this vid but I'm glad I did, we only get one bite of the apple, before you know it your looking down the barrel, I'm 70 years old still work 48 hours a week, watching this has made me decide at the end of the year I'm walking away from it all as well, time to do the stuff I want to do, our kids are all grown up, we own a beautiful little farm as well as our city home on the Northern beaches of Sydney Australia, time to sell the home and move to the farm full-time , hunt and fish and dive as often as I want to, thanks for posting this you have helped me make up my mind, time waits for no one all the best for the future for you and Melisa.

[@davidbarnes7064]

Worked my one and only job for 51 years. Loved my job and thought I would miss it terribly. I was wrong! I've been a small farmer for many years raising cattle which is what I do full time now. Enjoy your new life, I know I do!!

[@JereMcDonald]

Good luck Mike and Melissa. At 56, my company transferred my division to India, and left me kind of hanging. I couldn't conceive of being without a job. I immediately started a quest to find another job - but, I started some home projects that had been postponed for literally decades. And, in almost no time, I set to work on a complete remodel with new siding, new windows and doors. Then, I started cutting firewood. I adopted a life companion pup and I got very active in infrastructure maintenance at my Church. At some point I discovered like many told me I would, I had no time to pursue another career, and soon found I didn't want one. That was over 12 years ago, and I don't think there has been a single day that I missed that old life. Stay busy, enjoy, and just observe the wonderful nature around you. Thanks for sharing your awesome projects. I like to think my life is similar - just without the camera and edit skills.

[@djwt72]

Congratulations, Mike! I walked away from my real job that I loved 21 years ago at age 51 and haven’t regretted it. I adjusted to retirement by the time I reached the parking lot after walking out the door. You will have no problem adjusting. Life is good!😊

[@Georgiajason]

So I just came across your channel while cooking dinner tonight and I have to say, this was great. I’ll be turning 46 tomorrow and it’s been my dream to come home full time and work from home with my wife. I’ve been in the same business for over 27 years, self employed and hold no retirement. I’ve been saying for years I’m done by 50 but am working towards walking away before my 50th birthday. I don’t have a KZbin channel but I have found what I want to do, be a full time gardener and build my own farmers market. A huge change from being a tattooer. I am passionate about growing food and I want to be home to do it. My wife and I are about to put in a huge greenhouse and start a whole new way of doing life. Watching this video was a massive encouragement to start looking towards my walking time and I know it’ll be soon. Congrats to y’all and good luck with all the amazing things that are to come. Maybe it’s time we start a channel and share our new, upcoming journey. Blessing to y’all.

Excited Mike and Melissa for your new journey! I spent 22 years in the military and I know what you mean by being on the road while Melissa is raising the family. You definitely made the right decision in my opinion. Ok I always liked your videos when I started my journey after buying my 1st tractor two years ago. To be honest I had questions and you never answered them when I needed them answered, so I stopped watching your channel since I found others who could answer. I will visit more now... Mike you and I are the same age and I grew up in Carlisle. Maybe someday Ann and I could meet you and your awesome family. I love your property. Keep on keeping brother. Oh and you can just share videos about your funny experiences working as a blaster. Don’t think you always need to be working in a video. Enjoy being a family man and just be honest about life. Most people just need to hear good news and normal life these days. Cheers Dan and Ann from TN.

I started following several other people in the firewood industry and I believe it's getting closer for me to go bigger. I'm also looking at the KZbin video angle as well, but like you said in one of your videos, you were a firewood maker who posted KZbin videos. I like that comment and concept. It stuck with me. Thank you and take care.

I’ve had a lot of fun out here, but dealing with the man for so many years..going on 35 years out here now..and crazy drivers out here, I’m getting tired my friend. I’ve been in the military, out after 13 years, been in the Sherrif’s dept( 5years) int the fire service(9) years, became a state certified fire fighter 1, first responder and hazardous materials Incident Commander. I’ve had a good life, met many friends! I related to your life of hard work and values, I was taught them early in life. I had two major fires in my life, one @12 years ago that nearly destroyed my life. Lost nearly everything. I’ve recovered my life mostly, lost a lot of friends and my marriage. Now I’m single, live a quiet life in central Maine. I think the world of you folks, and one day hope to get a chance to shake your hand. I’m writing this to you in 2022, in October, a year after I lost my dad. So Mike, Melisa, Eva and Hannah..God bless you folks. I’ll keep watching you when you release your content for sure!

I have a few freinds that do travel by private jet many of the places they are needed to be present at, and often, they are the most thoughtful, kindest people I know, and I do know many kind people, but my perception does help with this perception, without people, this would be one boring place, in my opinion.....and I didn't hear you mention live streaming....you may wish to consider this, it is something that has far more to offer, something you will only discover by engaging in one...I do not miss having to show up for work..there are many times I miss the extra money though, so working alternate streams, and also, please remember that no matter what happens, to take it easy on you.

Very happy for you guys, cant wait for my retirement next summer to start enjoying my camp in the wood and I have a few little project with my new Kubota LX2610 with front end loader and backhoe. I will keep watching your video I find them very interesting and educational. In my opinion you made the right choice good luck and keep the video coming.
