Got the place looking nice buddy...I've been slinging grass seed for days now!

I love your videos and really appreciate your outlook on life. I’m proud to be a long time subscriber who is making his first comment today. Greetings from western Wisconsin.

Was Melissa making fun of hubby by clapping too?

You guys have a beautiful place, I love how the wildlife just wanders around without a care in the world. Thanks for the inspirational videos for the rest of us Morgan lovers to view.

Don't move the green barrel or I'll be lost.

Early morning coffee and a video with Mike and Melissa, :-) Always a good start to the day.

still giggling about the people who say you should be planting trees etc to replace the ones you have cut down - they do not realise you are doing forestry management cutting down dead or sick trees, trees that grew in the wrong spot, clearing vines so they don't strangle the trees and making lovely lane-ways to get around to keep up your forestry management with ease and giving the family places to walk dogs and get wonderful outside time which is good for the soul

If you can't fix the washer; I know how you can get rid of it (diamond blade!). Can I say: "Viral video"?!

Sad people get negative comments. Maybe there just jealous. Need to get a life and talk to god. Because things on earth are just immaterial.Thx for sharing yu really are blessed. Aloha from Maui HI🤙🙏🏻👍👌

I seen Thanksgiving dinner and summer sausage. If my memory is correct, your kid is living in the brick house. When you're grandkids grow up they can say ( over the hill and through the woods to grandma/grandpa 's house ). Tell Malisse is seen that clap along at beginning of the video 🤣. God bless you and your family.

Its hard to believe all those hills an no stones, nice job, be kind friend

I see all the beautiful trees, trails, turkey, deer but not the obvious... Where are and what kind of "Squirrels" am I not seeing?

Awesome Opened Up a lot More Trails To Get Around The Property!!👍👊

All these trails I see a snowmobile in the Morgan,s future winter...at 4:59 was that a Jake? and where are the bucks Melissa? Your beautiful property is like a gift that keeps on giving (wood and nature beauty)

Mike I am not c ing no hickory trees and aspen we are no more then a hundred miles a part seen one ashen tree on your place all kinds of hickory here

Better video that cherry log from dragging it out ,to sawing on the mill . Will be awesome videos.

YOU EVER MAKE A MAP OF YOUR TRAIL SYSTEM, TO SEE WHERE YA WANNA MAKE THE NEXT ONE

Mike will be talking about that Deere for years to come, like my Dad done with all his army stories when he was in Egypt.

When the Turkeys find that seed they will be in hog heaven.

There isn't a another channel like yours on you tube it all most like watching a TV series you do a great job keep up the good work thank you

Beautiful....Great job on the trails...I really enjoy your videos...been enjoying from the start....THANK YOU FOR SHARING... from Memphis Tn.....

Two Thumb's down , wow , are they missing the point of the channel . Awesome Channel Thanks .

Man! How come all the BIG good ones are down hill? Mel: "Easier than me zipping up my jeans"...lol... All I'm gonna say is think of Conway Twitty's "Tight fittin jeans" Song or Mike's thinking of Mel McDaniel's "Baby's got her blue jeans on!".... 😉😊.

Melissa the hidden treasure Mike is speaking of. I think he plans to make a 12 ft live edge dining room table for you.

Melissa was hoping Mike had found a pool in the middle of the woods. 😂😂😂 shouldn’t the skid steer be able to pull it out?

Hilarious how Melissa clapped her hands right after Mike at the beginning of the video. Almost had milk come out of my nose as I laughed out loud.

333G it's time for you to go But there's one thing we want you to know Mike really made the grade With that big ole cutting blade And cleaned up many trails And a few new ones he's made So now we can't wait to see You pull out that cherry tree!! Always the BEST!! Outdoors with the Morgans!!!

With those intersections you need some MASH style signposts.

Trails are looking real good can;t beat it #WorldsOkayestFarmer

I'm wondering how your going to get that cherry out of there.I thought I saw that the truck split.If it has a good crotch at the fork it's going to make that HEAVY.Or are you going to just cut it for the trunk,a 12ft. piece you said.

He: watch ye don't slip. She: I'm not slippin'. He: I care (...) about you, be careful. She: you're talking me down, I'm not clumsy.

sped up the vid too much - couldn't pick a spot for my tree stand

Funny Mike....I get the same reaction from my wife when I show her something I'm excited about milling....yawn...not another log! Melissa's reactions are priceless!! Love that she's always got a smile :)

I can’t wait for the day to see those Morgan kids helping out with the firewood operation. Then I can show my kids how hip firewood can be!

Mike, you goofed thinking you found a treasure! Maybe for you, not Melissa! Hope you pick out something REAL special for Melissa for her 50th birthday come Jan.

Mike, born in Fairmont WV, hunted in Green County as well as westmoreland and a cabin in Lumber PA that I don’t get to often!, but really enjoy you and Malissa videos. Now in NC but love to get back when I can. Where are you at in western PA? Lived in Blairsville, moved to Greensburg, worked for a large Corp until 9/11 and forced to move for a job but still miss the mountains. Keep the videos coming....👍👍

Mike needs Quiet Time in the woods with his Bow!! Enough land grooming GIT OUT & KILL SOMETHING!!!

Melissa you crack me up especially in this video standing behind Mike. Y'all are great people enjoy all your videos. Another great one thanks for the beautiful family life y'all show. All the way from TEXAS thanks again. KEEP them going!!!!

Hey Mike, you sure could use a wench on one of your tractors to pull those logs out of those steep sections.

Mike two things ... I know a perfect tool I'd love for you to get. Its would get in alot of firewood and saw logs very fast... Island Skidding Winch model 2001... A Canadian guy has a channel showing it being used on a compact tractor... very fast! Channel is GP Outdoors... Check that skidding winch out..... Oh and what was that bird? Partridge???

Sweet! Mike that uprooted cherry would be a great place to hunker down at root bulb and do some deer hunting to get out of wind if their in that area. Great video! Thanks.

I don’t know if you’ve talked about this in past videos, but how many acres total do you have, including your main home property, the brick house property, and how much acreage does your mom have adjoining your property? We bought 21-acres of dense forest last year with a decent sized build site cleared. I’m wondering how large of a tractor I should be researching. A buddy told me nothing under 45 hp will do. I’ve thought about a used Case 580 or similar for grading, plowing/blowing snow, etc. in Northern ID. I’ll have a 1/2 mile gravel road to keep clear in Winter.

You can get a 3000 lb 12V winch on amazon for under $200, and a 9500 lb winch for around $300. Probably $150 more for a Warn winch. Would make pulling those logs up the hill to the trail a breeze. Seems like it would be useful quite often on your property; pulling out hung trees, getting stuck, turning big logs on the mill (wrap around the log), etc.

Wifey didn't seem as impressed by the Cherry windfall. :-( I was thinking the "big hidden treasure" was a Red Oak monster windfall. SO CLOSE!!

Enjoy your videos. I knew you were from Western PA as soon as I heard your accent (though Melissa doesn't seem to have that Western PA accent ;-)). My wife is from Beaver, PA and I'm from across the river in Wellsville, OH. Miss the country, even more so when I watch your videos. I hope you appreciate your 100 acres. Not many folks get to have that much land to enjoy. You take great care of it.

Relatively new to the channel, love it. Enjoy your laid back approach to projects. Something I have to learn! I see you working and walking the woods in the brush a lot, I'm from Long Island NY and have tons of poison ivy. Any poison ivy concerns for your area? Drive to Chicago on occasion to visit the grandkids and driving thru PA (all 310 miles on 80!) is a tree heaven.

Amazing trails thru beautiful property. The sights and vistas. I can’t wIt to see that cherry tree get pulled out and WoodMisered. It’s been too long since you showed off that piece of equipment. Going to love it!!! Thanks for all the effort you put into preparing and sharing these videos of your wonderful activities and your property. God bless the Morgan family, and a special howdy to little Ty and big ol’ Hunter. Sending our love to y’all. Have a Day from Texas.

What is the update on the mini cabin? Any progress Love your equipment, so nice to have and utilize. Also please just relocate the Fox, I certainly hope that you wouldn’t kill it. It’s certainly a predator animal, relocate it to a larger forest like state forest. Your videos are great, I’ve watched you for a long while. Have a wonderful day.. From Phoenix Arizona

MIKE, nice property, since yinz have great access points to it now, may need to put up those white trail markers you painted for Melissa 2 years ago ! (member dat? I'm sure that project is still on 'THE LIST' !!! Lol) nice find on the cherry tree!

Watch it Mike, Melissa's copying your trademark introductory handclap ! Get it patented !!

A bit like the forests of the Ardennes in France that we Orienteered around on Mountain Bikes. The French call them VTTs.. Velo Tout-Terrain, and they mapped all the Forest with trails graded by 'rideability'.

Thanks for all your work! ..it helps me forget my troubles.. (Mom battling breast cancer at 81y.o.)

PNWCB here, thanks for the beautiful late afternoon ride through your property. Glad to see your being blessed with some beautiful weather, this planet can be amazing when you take care of it. Peace.....

I got a few trails on my place nothing like what you have but to say the least they are not bad. The only thing is they are steep. This may end up being a long comment. Sorry, I mean steeper than a horse's face. I remember a few cold Winters ago I went on one of my trails going to my favorite place..."Lookout Rock" It's beautiful up there and a sacred place too .Before that Winter some years before, I remember as I was standing on that rock seeing all nature and God's creation, it was not too cold and calm. I felt the coldest brush of air over my shoulders colder than ice then I felt a presence of a being there. It was God in spirit. I know that for a fact. He never said anything and He didn't need to. His presence with me on that rock was well enough to prove I was not alone. Now this is on a funny side. When you told Melissa not to slip then she replied "I'm not slipping" made me think of me. Yep. again on the mountain on my steep trail on that cold Winter day. I got up there when the ground was frozen. I stayed there about all day then I left and it had thawed out and the trail was a bit soft. Guess what happened. Yep, my foot gave way on the soft spot straight down and away I went on my behind well over 200 Feet straight down flying sliding on my behind. My backside was covered in thick pure mud. Man I saw things in a much different way. And there was that pine tree. Oh Sh_T !!! I barely missed it. Wow! Not to say it was a bumpy slide too. Ouch! That is hard to forget. Anyway, i love your videos, your place, your trail system, and I love you guys. I mean that. Super cool job on those trails. I know you will miss that machine. Only memories is what we have on things we enjoy and yes like to have. God Bless all the Morgan Family Micheal from NW North Carolina ( The High Country )

Hey Mike you better go buy Melissa a hot fudge sundae with a cherry on top. She wasn’t near as impressed with that cherry log as you. lol I enjoyed the video. And tell Hunter hello. 👍👍👍❤️

Long time viewer , just north of you in Mercer county Hermitage Pa . First comment . Consider buying a ATV log arch to pull out those logs deep down in where you can't reach with your tractor . Also less impact on the ground than a tractor . I do not know what your Ranger can do as i used a Honda Foreman 450 .You will be amazed what you can pull out with an 4 wheeler . Pulled many a logs out myself up in Clarion county and hauled them home for firewood .

Be ready, the snow is coming. We had snow here in the Willamette Valley of Ore. above 500 ft. My son is a log truck driver and he was chained up and still sliding coming down the hill, just east of Eugene Ore. Your going to get dumped on in about 3 days.

Boy that’s a nice Cherry tree, it’ll be worth the effort getting it out of there. Don’t think Melissa was as happy about it as you were. She probably thought you found a diamond mine or something. Great trails, like you said you’ll enjoy them for years. Great video tour Thanks👍

And she's an appliance repair girl too! The list just keeps growing.... more fans are enroute as we speak. Looks like your feeling a little better. Have a great day! Your fan Mick

As usual, great job Morgans! Snow storm today so i decided not to go in to work. One of those end of year burn it or lose it vacation days. Following up from an older video...did you ever get any resolution with the "Buckin's Army" tee shirt situation at school?

Love you guys! We are starting a similar journey here in SW Michigan. We recently purchased 45 acres of woods that are hilly, and had some walnut logged out a couple years ago (about 60 tops left). We are cutting up wood, cutting in trails, building food plots, and just generally enjoying the heck out of being outside. We had a forestry mulcher come in and clear a build site and the first few trails, and could not agree more that that tool is a must to save time and your back. Thanks for all you do, and have a day!

May need to rethink the excitement you think she has. Hahahahaha. Or just take her for an ice cream. Either way. Ha. You have a beautiful piece of property. Might need a second cabin, with big windows.

Just how steep is that hill you are planting? It looked like Melissa dropped down about 15 feet walking 30 feet forward. Watching her walk back up, her feet are angled as far forward as looks comfortable and her heels don't hit the ground. looks steep That said, do you think that you might spray all that privet and multiflora rose to get rid of it? Shame to have to give back the forestry mower but it was great they let you use it to begin with.

A great idea would be to put up some trail signs. I know you know your property well but with the new trails ,signs would guide your family when they are out riding or hiking. I have to admit thought the surprise might have been a bear cave or rock formation. Lol. Love the new property access, great job !

I suggest you buy an old school front loader clothes washer that simply uses a mechanical timer i.e. No electronics. Far more reliable. You will have to go to a washer dryer repair store usually independent owned. What you want is a commercial washer for reliability without the big repair bill every time it goes down. A front load uses 1/4 to 1/3 the amount of water versus a top loader and gives you 2 wash cycles and 3 rinses. And really spins the clothes dry. You can get a front load with an electronic time but remember these were coin op machines so have the shop owner put in a push button to start the wash cycle. Did this for a friend of mine 4 years ago and she loves it. Be advised you will need to put in a small catch basin with a submersible water pump from the local hardware store to pump the water to the drain pipe as a. Commercial front load only has a gravity drain, you setup the washer on a platform about 8 inches to a foot high and the drain basin is on floor level at the rear. The washer also uses 1/10 the amount of detergent that a top loader does. The lady I helped get a commercial front load loves it even though she was a little apprehensive at first, after I finished the installation and she ran the first load through it she loved it and other than one v-belt replacement it's been trouble free. Hers is a electronic timer only she uses the coin mechanism set at $.25 and she has the key to the coin box. She saves an average of 18 to 24 dollars a month her her husband and 9 kids. It gets a steady workout.

Wow, those woods look fantastic. Nice job Mike.

Mel or Mike, I would like to buy the portable leaf blower you use. Would you please give me the info that I need to purchase it or a link. Thank You..

Hi there.As always, nice and pleasure to watch you.Greetings from Poland.

I live in Little Rock Arkansas, I would love to own the property you have it seems to have very few rocks in it and mostly hardwood down here everything is pine for the most part, my house sits on a small half acre lot which used to have pine trees in it but I was able to get them all cut down and it has probably most of hardwood now, I can see the joy you have in keeping your property the way you like it I would feel the same way I am from New England originally, And would love to on a hardwood covered hundred acres like you have of course I would have to invest in all the equipment you have just to keep it looking good, I would hit that Murray company up again to use that John Deere some more that thing really worked well for you and if you could do some more of your property with it I think you would benefit greatly by having it just another couple weeks maybe you can work some magic and talk to them about it

I do think you need signs on your trail junctions. Those trails are nice and located in the beautiful woods. Love your videos, keep them coming.

Guessing you probably may have already sold the last planks you cut from cherry before, what will you do with this wood?

Too bad you can't use that John Deere 333G to skid that cherry log out before you had to give it back! At least get it up on top of the hill! Awesome job on the trails, they look great! What a beautiful spot you have!

I was sure that you found an abandoned bulldozer or some other machine. Don't think you would've been able to wait to share that though. Even if that big log is skew a bit, cut a square center block out of it. It sure is a good find, I saw a good few cords of firewood also.

Surprise is a cherry log?! Mellissa kinda had a WTH look on her face for a moment. Wrong place to put a pool!😩🙄

You could also seed the fresh trails with the disturbed ground with white clover. Clover can take some traffic so depending on how often you ride on it you would have some nice narrow food plots running through all the property. That log is definitely worth a salvage run or perhaps a mill in place & rescue slabs. bol

No offence to you Mike but I can't wait to see Melissa pick up her skirts and scoot around all your new trails. Is there a chance Hunter might one day drive the side by side? It'd be kind of nice to see him take his mum and the dogs for a ride. Maybe if you had a governor on it that you could secretly bypass whenever someone else is driving. I knew of a few farm bikes minus gear levers that the kids could ride and not get into too much trouble.

Nice cherry log , it’s funny I have a giant oak that came down in storm , root ball and all , cut tree up but still have the root ball standing up about 12 feet in air , eye sore from my homestead, any suggestions on getting the rootball back over ?? 👍

Do you guys do mushroom picking you have the forest for it and I see some on the trees that have fallen like Chaga mushroom and the others Turkey Tail, Reishi all have health benefits you should check it out in you own forest.

Maybe you could plant some different colors of wisteria and Concord grapes to take the place of the wild grape vines?

I think Melissa has a difference idea of a treasure then you do Mike. Just want to know what you did to be so lucky, beautiful place to live, great family and an amazing wife

One of my new favorite videos. The trails are beautiful. I am very envious of your trails and property. Great job to you both!

That was a big wild turkey. The deer don't seem to mind your movements Mike. I think it was a very nice cherry tree. Hello Hunter Hello Tye. Ed

Another wonderful video from the recent pass another watch again, was just as good as the first time it’s great getting older everything is new again and just as enjoyable as watching it the first time!

I have a feeling that Melissa was slightly less excited about the 'hidden treasure!' than Mike was....... Love the trail videos - I guess you can see the trail better in person - I have to guess where the trail turns - it all looks the same with the leaves on the ground.

good job on the new trails Mike with the John Deere 333G and Diamond cutter..looks great.

Get that wonder cutter down there and Clear a Trail to that Cherry before you give it back! Hey HUNTER!

What's with all those trees, you would think they would be helpful and fall up the hill rather than down. Nice work on that trails. Now that you can get around the property it has just created more to do. Can't wait till you go after that big cherry. May the forest be with you.

Melissa stop picking on Mike for the hand clap. Then he kept trying to put his hands in his pocket. I love your videos and since of humor with each other. Keep them coming.

I think you should rename the main junction “Spaghetti Junction” 😁👍🏻

Mike, It is a nice log. But the beauty of the piece, must be Melissa. I have never seen a log to match her, tall and straight, grace itself. The deer were a nice second. I also saw lots of deadfall. It will be much easier to reach than before the trail work. Keeping all the acres of trail open will be interesting. I predict an even busier summer next year. God Bless you all.

Another great video from you guys. I always enjoy watching your videos.

Mike I see what you have been saying about a life time of firewood already on the ground for the taking. Also can't wait to see how you get that big cherry off that hill side. Just be careful doing it.

Well we haven't been as lucky with the nice weather. We had lots of rain here and there for the past few weeks and now we just got 3" of snow over night. Most of it melted today but now wet and sloppy here in Wisconsin.

Time for a Wallenstein skidding winch for that cherry Mike!

MEL YOU LOOK GREAT IN THOSE JEANS SHE DIDNT LOOK TO SUPRISED ON THE CHERRY LOG . WE GOT 3.5 INCHES OF SNOW HERE IN GREEN BAY WI. TUESDAY ' BUMMER . TAKE CARE HAVE A DAY.

Bill T just thinking have you ever though of using a winch to pull out the wood from a tough spot? Missy it is winch not wench LOL

You are going to have to put trail markers up soon and add signs with trail names and signs at the forks in the trails showing which trail go which way, LOL.

Mike umm you better take her out for that ice cream Sunday with the cherry on top. Always remember” happy wife happy life”

First thing mike sees is a cherry saw log. First thing i see is the beautiful view, and I 'm like,Dam!

Will you guys do fire wood all winter or do you get a lot of snow?? Will you have to use snow machines to get around the woods? Asking from Idaho 😁
