Driveway coming along nicely anxious to see when done and you guys decide what to put there would be awesome to see a log cabin put among all those trees but one of those shed/cabins would be nice as well faster and probably more cost effective a friend/ contractor of mine and his dad purchased 60 acres in Montgomery county Missouri to hunt close to river mostly wooded they bought a prebuilt Kitte shed built a platform atop utility poles for a deer stand like 14ft in air and set shed on top with excavator they rented cleared a couple trails thru property and for time and cost two more stands on platforms using those plastic shed kits on platforms as well on various spots on property in ope of getting done and deer getting use to them being there they have cameras set up shows deer around all three stands already even with them during construction of blinds so should have good hunt this season the prebuilt shed had windows pre installed three sides they bought some cheap aluminum sliders to put in plastic shed stand kits worked out well blend in pretty nice with surroundings brown n tan green n tan color schemes using me buddy propane heaters in all three solar led light fixtures for a little light inside

Mike, you have so much finesse with that machine I swear you could pick a tick off a hound dog, and it wouldn't flinch. Lookin' good!

Mike we have some property in Henderson Tx. and we planted pine trees on it about 35 or 36 years ago. We got with the forest service and they keep an eye on the trees to let us know when to do some harvesting. When the trees were about 18 to 20 years old they harvested some for pulp wood to thin the trees. They get the company to do the harvesting and have someone there to monitor the number of loads hauled out. In 2021 they went back in and harvested some timber and in a few years will harvest more. I think dealing with the forest service is a good deal. Hope all is well with the Morgan Family.

A really impressive piece of work! Great job felling trees, saving saw logs and safely eliminating debris, Mike!

Good afternoon from Upstate South Carolina. Cutting grass, burning brush and prepping the backstop for some pew pew this weekend. Looking good Mike. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming. Have a wonderful labor day weekend.

I find that flagging trees with surveyors tape makes it easier to fine tune roads and clearings etc. and to show others what you have in mind before you clear. Good luck.

Lived in the country all my life. Burned my share of brush. Not a criticism... you should think about saving those tops for brush piles. The small critters will take up residence. It not only provides homes for small critters, but it also provides safety from preditors, etc. Far better for the overall property to increase all forms of wildlife. It all works together and it all benefits you and the property. Give it some serious thought.

It's really shaping up. I'm sure you've already thought of this but, don't forget you need to allow for any large delivery trucks to come in and out, especially if y'all decide to go with the cabin that is already built that will have to be brought in in pieces.

I'm really diggin' the progress at Ft. Morgan! I am assuming that your living quarters (cabin, trailer, camper, etc.) will be at the top of the "island"? If so, something to consider; clearing out a portion if the "island" for a camp fire area/burn pit/outdoor kitchen/swimming pool (for Melissa....ha!). I really appreciate the content that you share.

Mike is going to have to learn new names for the various types of gravel in West Virginia. Driveway is looking good now.

I love the heavy, country road traffic. Nobody for days. Park on the road. 2 minutes, you gotta move. Most of it's good though.

That is amazing how green pine will burn like that. Rethinking fresh Christmas trees.

Mike I think the only good thing about them not thinning or doing anything is it prevented the hardwoods from growing up in the pines. Cause if you think you do a 50% thin its going to open up a ton more light and opportunities for the hardwoods to sprout up and grow

When I think of the most soothing, satisfying sounds in nature, right behind rolling waves hitting the beach or water flowing over a river rapid is the sound of wind through the pines. You're going to love that place with all those pines.

"You're gonna come up this driveway, and you can either go this direction or that direction..." or, as Yogi Berra once said while giving directions, "When you get to the fork in the road, take it." 😄

you need to tarp that load for going up the interstate it will keep prying eyes off of the trees and the load

Wow, could watch that all day , the vision, the plan, the execution, a beautiful thing to watch, great work!!👍👍👍👍👍👌👌

Looks great Mike, you got a lot accomplished in this video! Looks like your about ready for the skid steer! Beautiful property, I love pine forests!

Watching you work that backhoe make me want one to do lots work on our property. You make it looks so easy, I’m sure it’s not easy, surly have to have lots of hours on those Machine.

Mike you honestly should contact the treehouse guy and have them build you a treehouse out there! It is amazing the stuff he build’s!

It would be cool if took that wood you harvested and incorporate it into your driveway gate somehow, just a thought. it's looking good and looks like fun! Enjoy your fire!

Seeing you push down and burn so many of the Red Pine makes me ask the question: Seeing how you cut wood at your home and built sheds and shelters, are you intending to do that at the new property, and wouldn't some of that Red Pine be good for storage sheds, maybe elevated structures like your hunting blind, or for other uses? I know most people don't use Pine for interior fireplaces, but for those using outdoor wood fired heaters, would that work in a mix with hardwood?

I like what you did Mike, by making that circle drive way. It should come in very handy when you actually start the cabin project. One thing I might if you don’t mind suggest is the you use the excavator to brake off those low short horizontal dried branch stubs that stick out from the trees to the height above that Ty and Thia so that they cannot hurt themselves when coming to visit in the future. You know how kids like to run around chasing each other.

It would be fun to see your progress from a drone's perspective. And I'm not talking about myself. 😉

Looking good down in WV. Can I ask, why not cut up those red pines for use as firewood right there on the property after you get a cabin built. Seems to be a waste to just burn them up. Offer it up for free or start selling it down there too. But, I'm sure its all in the plan. I just love watching and learning.

I think that Cabin (with the porch swing, porch , & balcony) would be IDEAL for this location. No need to build a seperate hunting cabin - shoot your buck while sitting on the swing with food & beverages at hand.

So where is the 2 story prebuilt cabin going to be?? The one with the swing on the Portch

It may be cool to get drone footage from high above your property during the burning of the brush. 😇

I have an excavator the same size as yours. When I am digging to push over a tree I curl under a root and push out the dipper at the same time. It breaks the root easier.

I absolutely love having morning coffee watching your channel. I also watch another you helped get started. My morning is off if I don't get to watch these 2 channels while having coffee.

Nice driveway progress. Seems wide enough but all that is based on what's diving on it. A prefab building delivery may have issues fitting but guess you guys can work through those details when needed. Enjoy watching things take shape.

That's amazing Mike. I know that's more work than the 25 minutes or less we seen on video. It's looking good man. I wished I had your talent. My wife and I were watching you and Melissa a few weeks ago and she said he makes that look so easy. Just like the machine was part of your DNA.

Looks great Mike!! Keep up the hard work!! Before you know it you'll have a structure on that property with a wood stove... a perfect place to hunt from👍👍👍 I'm just here for the journey 🙂

Good afternoon Mike 😊 and everyone 😀 😊 ☺

I am surprised you are not taking a number of those longer pieces of wood home to cut for fire wood.

Have you given any thought to sawing D logs on you sawmill out of the red pine to build a log cabin on the WV property?

Great job Mike bring the drone down would love to see your work from.above, love you guys

Last year, in New Fairfield CT, I had to get a permit from the Fire Dept. to do a brush fire. Do you have that in WV ? Getting those trees down the way you do it is the perfect one because one gets rid of the tree AND the stump. Excellent work. Thanks. Ciao!

NOW THAT'S CLEVER MIKE, USING A STANDING TREE TO BEND AND BREAK A DOWNED TREE. FEEL LIKE LIKE I'M WATCHING AN INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO ON THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOU CAN DO WITH AN EXCAVATOR! GREAT FUN TO WATCH YOU. PIE TOWN COWBOY

Anyone else impressed with the excavator raking skills?

I love this farm . Now I know video perception is different to realty, But I think that I would have trouble turning my 12meter long Kenworth around in your track. it may need to be a bit wider if you will be having trucks coming in for logs, house materials etc

I was thinking that the West Virginia property would be a good place for the old Woodmizer .

Shoulda got a big chipper and chipped all your brush and put it on your new laneway.

I think I just noticed when counting and talking about trees Mike has a slight problem.... " 1, 2, Tree, 4, 5 ".... 😉😆.

Looking Good, reminds me of starting our Homestead 26 yrs ago 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸

Great videos Mike, I really look forward to watching each episode you come out with. Don't forget to push out a spot out of your way to back your trailer into, for when you go up to stay a few days.

It’s coming along, Mike. You have a good vision of what you want.

Mike you should look at the laws regarding bringing wood into state. Before you get popped. Fines are crazy and they can include seizure of vehicles.

Good Evening from Pleasant Hills, Pennsylvania. It’s really amazing what you’ve accomplished already in West Virginia. Hope you and your family have a wonderful and safe holiday.

Y'all have a blessed Labor Day weekend!

Shaping up nicely. Mike can I ask of a favor please. Trim off those broken limb on the logs. Otherwise they stab anyone walking by. My brother tripped and stuck one in his butt. Vary painful and hard to heal! Enjoying how things are coming together for yous.

Every once in awhile that mini excavator sounded like an old Gradal with a screaming Detroit lol. Brought back some good memories from my old construction days. Good work Mr Morgan.

Great work Mike, how many trees did you end up taking down so far?

Working " smart" not hard as some would 👍👍👍 Awesome!

The driveway is looking very good. Hopefully none of the trees on the edge of it will die.

I like how you clean as you go. Sign of taking pride in your work.

Curious as to why you don't save some of those logs for firewood at the camp???

Another Nice Progress Vidio Mike!! Great Job!! Keep Smiling On!! 😀👍👊

WOW, those red pine sure don’t have a lot of roots to them, do they?

Really looking good Mike. going to have to bring the skid up one day to give a finish touch to drive and circle. Putting some thought into that place there. Anymore thoughts on prefab'ed shed for a "Little Home" from the Amish? Careful there alone and have a safe and wonderful day.

That shure makes it Easley work.

Another very fine presentation! Are you folks required to advise your local fire department(s) in PA and WV prior to burning? Here in Taxifornia we have the equivalent of the Green Gestapo to report to regardless of weather conditions. And....."All Is Well, All Is Well!"

What happened to the root rake for the excavator? That would have been perfect for this job.

I don’t like to take more trees than needed either, but the dang pine needles on the driveway are pain in the butt

Good afternoon to all from SE Louisiana 2 Sep 22.

My lord you are so good with that machine. Love watching your videos. Enjoy your day. 😊

One of these days, i am going to try out the foam cannon. I was going to today but i ended up going and helping my buddy build a deck. I will report back when i finally get to use it. Stay well, stay safe and yall HAVE A DAY

Mike you made enormous headway on the property. You e got that road all the way around. All that brush and stuff is all burned. Cool video 👍❤️

Flaming Friday plus firearm Friday (off the leash) sounds like a future episode, [WE HOPE}

Mike, other than the butt end of the red pine being used for lumber, what can the other parts be used for? I know it’s not suitable for fire wood. God Bless, Daryl

I often watch your videos and cant make head or tail of what you are doing but at some point i see the light. You are an artist with that excavator

That thing looks like a little orange dragon when you get a bucket full of smoke.

You have a nice place in WV. Enjoy , from S.C.

Thanks Mike for another great video I enjoy your w va property can't wait to see your future plans with it !

Another nice job Mike Hoping all Yinzers have a great Labor Day holiday weekend Stay safe Have a Day HELLOOOO Hunter!!😁

Love your content! Your skills as an operator are really good! How about a drone view of the WV property….good for content….good for “pre built cabin” placement! LOL!

Love the video Mike keep up the good work .

Looks like you need to spend a day in your shop and build an outhouse to install at Camp Morgan?

Looking good Mike, we have a bug killing our Red Pines here in Minnesota

I really envy you, in a good way. I think it’s great that you are living your dreams and bringing me along for the experience. Keep up the awesome work and thank you. Tell Hunter Brett said hello.

Wondering mike on average what is the spacing on the red pines? Around here they are roughly 12-14’ apart when they do a thinning up here. That’s with big equiptment doing it. When I do them I go around 8-10’ apart roughly. But I do low impact chainsaw and a skid steer. I’m finding lot more folks liking the low impact so the forest floor isn’t all torn up. Also we to take out every other row.

TIME AND PATIENCE IS ALL IT TAKES MIKE AND YOU HAVE THAT, GOOD WORK

Mike, I'm always amazed how you're able to burn green logs and brush. Do you use some sort of fuel to get the fire going ?

OK Mr Morgan your just having more fun then the law should allow !! Hee hee 😜 !!!! Nice !

really looks great Mike .lots of progress , now you need to develop a plan for the cabin ,and parking for the various pieces of equipment you will be hauling there in the future .

Surprised you don’t have a HD diesel truck with your lifestyle. That’s a heavy load on the half ton.

Good morning Hunter 👋👋😺 and family and friends 😸😺

Dead trees, of course, burn readily - but it's the green ones..?

Mike you do great work. The property is starting to take good shape. Thanks for sharing.

You do nice work Mike. Would love to have you and your equipment for a few weeks. Lol Is your goal at Camp Morgan a more off grid type of encampment??

Good Almost Heaven Afternoon to the Morgan's!! Looking great, as usual!

I guess I do not know good fire wood from others. Looks like some of the pine logs are big enough. Help me understand.

Funny you popped up. I was just talking to my grass treatment guy today. He said for Japanese silt grass you want to get roundup concentrate that has Glyphosate at 41% concentration. Mix heavy at 2 oz/gallon. Over seed heavy in the fall and it will eventually drown out the silt weed

Thanks Mike for teaching me some stuff.

Yer pretty handy on that contraption there mikey !!!!

Really like the new gate 😉

Looks great Mike, or should I say the Captain of Kubota. Love watching u run that machine!!!!

Have you seen Jamaican Cottage. Al at Lumnah acres has a lot of them
