Great to know the cabin has a bear stop by. Hope all the visitors love dogs. You will love the finished pine tongue and groove at the cabin. Can’t wait to see it. 🎉

Good Morning Morgan Family 🌞- Have a Fantastic and Blessed Day 🤠

Just a thought Mike. Save the bags that are covering the lumber. Good for you to cover your lumber after it is dried.

Thanks for taking us along!

I guess it's good it didn't rain for 4 hours. You really did good getting the wood moved into the cabin before it got wet. The rain really snuck up on you. Reminds me of WWOG's most dramatic videos. Erin and Josh were paving their cement walk w stone when a massive storm hit by surprise. They were frantically getting things stored away as fast as possible. Little Ellie was terrified and crying. They watched through the windows as the wind lifted and overturned the chicken house. Josh picked Ellie up and told the family to head outside and get under the house. Ellie was latched onto Josh w all her strength, and crying. To see the concern on Josh and Erin, and hearing Ellie made me cry. Storms can happen so quickly. Hearing the wind as it blew the plastic covering your boards is what sparked that memory. Im glad it was a mild surprise storm you had. Yep, looks like it's finally time to work at the cabin. We've been waiting on this. Really good stuff you're sharing w us!! Thank you, Mike. Anticipating your next post w lots of joy!!👍🚜❤️🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲

Morning. It's a great Thursday cause the Morgans are on YT 😊

I can shut my eyes and listen to this music, so peaceful. Also, it’s good to see that strangers are staying away from your property. 🤞🙏

Good morning Morgans and friends. Mike the milled pine out behind the cabin would be great for a garage 👍. The family will outgrow a shed quickly. I hope this helps you out, just make Melissa sees my comment. Lol. Have a day sir! Thanks.

You gotta smile every time you pull into the cabin driveway

Mike enjoy your videos and more important, what you stand for keep it going.

That wood is gonna look nice. Melissa will be much happier with that. Glad the rain didn't catch you in a bad spot. Nice game camera video as well.

Pond is looking good. Waiting to see the WV Cabin T&G wood going up, it is beautiful wood, like the prefinished look, and what a time save that is! Like your homestead, very nice property, but West Virginia the Cabin even through the you tube channel, i cannot explain it - it's Peaceful, reminds me of My Grandpa and Grandma's old place. Where we were children everything was Norman Rockwell stuff. Grandma raised chickens, cleaned them herself, and we watched, and that is where i learned chickens did not need a head to run around the yard. lol Appreciate the effort it takes to make quality videos - ty Mike The cabin is and going to be remembered as a very special place for years to come ❤💯🙏

Maybe build a sediment dam to keep the pond from filling up with debris.

Have a great day!

When you use ratchet straps ,close the ratchet handles all the way so they will double lock properly

Good morning to Hunter 👋👋😸 and family and friends , Happy Purrrsday everyone 😸😺

Mike, I really enjoy your channel. My wife and I just finished our "cabin", kind of like your WV cabin. Ours is also two buildings, one is 16 x 40 and one is 12 x 16. We connected them with about a 5 x 5. We have been living in it for about one week. We really love it. I would like to send pictures, but I don't know how on your comments.

Morning Cabin Mike.... you gotta be running up the hours on the "bumblebee"... You use it for everything! Pete 🇨🇦

Great looking wood !! ❤❤❤❤❤

I really like the TnG. It'll look great. I look forward to seeing it installed.

Very excited to see the cabin come together. Nice product and a real time saver for sure.

Totally enjoyed the trail cam videos. Looking forward to seeing the inside progress of the cabin.

Pond is full . Nice T&G . New road looks good after the rain . You are a road builder , Mike . Seeya

From Rome NY , went up into Boonville which your familiar with. Trees leaves are changing fast.

Oh my gosh you said it was almost hoodie weather the weather difference across the country is amazing it's supposed to hit 112° here in Southern California today

🤠 Good morning from north-central Idaho. When I have a moment to sit down and look at youtube, Outdoors with the Morgans is the first notification I look for. Your philosophy and work ethics are very similar to my father 's. Therefore, I am comfortable with your turn of mind.

Thank you for your work ethic,I'm the same as you.and I love to work and see things done. cabin looking great mike!!! We need rain out here in helldarado it's new name.be safe kids devo in El dorado.

II am going to order some of that tongue and groove for my pole barn now, love how the ends are

GOOOOOOOD MAAAAAAAAWNIN EVERYONE OUT THERE IN OWTM’s VIDEO LAND!! From an absolute gorgeous cool & breezy morning here in VaBch…Nice video Mike. Looking forward to you sharing your projects with us. Until next video… Have a day HELLOOOO HUNTER 😊

Cultipackers are a great seed bedding tool among a few other dirt/ground related tasks. I dimple the soil sometimes pre & post seeding. You can easily make one and just by cultipacker wheels. I used a plumbers pipe that was near perfect in diameter & strength for the main axle

I wish fall would come to Tampa FL, it's absolutely miserable here with the heat, and high dew points and humidity...Love the channel Mike.................

Good morning Mike, Thanks for sharing another great video. Enjoyed the wildlife and pond update.

That end match on the V-groove would be a game changer for installing on a bias. Pretty sweet stuff.

I must have missed something. I haven't seen your old Ford High Boy for quite a while. Greetings from Dartmouth, NS. IF you and Melissa ever get up this way I'd love to show you some of the historic sites.

I had a brainstorm yesterday, and I debated on who to share it with first. Now, it may not be the greatest solution, and I suppose someone has possibly already tried it. But I have never seen it on any sawmill channels that I watch. Here goes. The best sawdust collection I have seen, other than a vacuum system, is a 5 gallon bucket What if you took a piece of the roof metal the appropriate length and made a simple frame that would hold it in a curled position, U-shaped, with some type of closure on the ends? Make it so that it could be picked up with a couple chains on a bucket, grapple, pallet forks, whatever, and carried to a dumping place. Please let me know your thoughts soon, or I may give my idea to someonelse. LOL Wanted you to have the first response. Love your channel and content most of the time. I do skip some equipment reviews and factory tours, but I realize there are some who actually want to see comparisons of different brands of whatever. Hope to see you again at Paul Bunyan.

Awesome video! Yalls cabin will be coming together soon!

Never heard of a Cultipacker, had to look it up, cool attachment! The tongue and grove will look great in the cabin. We had a cabin back in the 60s with a small area inside that we put T&G on the walls, it was very nice. The pond filled fast! As you were walking down the muddy road, I was thinking about you slipping right about then you did slip a little, been there done that!

Would have liked to see the inside of your cabin, wiring and insulation in?👍👍🇺🇸

Hello! 😊 Once you start a pond job you can't afford to take a break. The weather always knows how to hit you when you are the most vulnerable.

Mike, Cherish the cool over the dreaded 85 degrees. Here in North Texas we are finally out of the triple digits and into the mid 80's. Earlier this week we had a high of 77. If we swapped places, you would be hot, less humidity and my joints would be seizing up from the 40's degree weather. While I enjoy the 60/70's you are experiencing, I am doing okay here. As a younger man I would wear shorts in the 50's as long as we were not getting the North winds of 30-40. We say some body left the gate open for it to blow so hard. On to important stuff. It is so beautiful there in West Virginia and reminds me of my childhood in the Smoky Mtns of East Tennessee. Thanks for the trip. BTW, expecting low 60's this weekend for lows. WooHoo!

Maybe you should think about going upstream from the pond and build a catch basin.I don't know if you watch letsdig18 Chris is very knowledgeable on ponds and waterways.

I really enjoyed that version of Take me home country roads and the video was good also😎

Love the cabin content!! God bless Sir.

You know Mike. Maybe use the rough sawn wood for an accent wall in the cabin. Seen it done a few times here in Northwest Montana. Looks great! Cheers!

Those little rocks in the pond slop are bad for windows in the excavator when it splashes around to. Thumbs up

Your video production product is very good. Nice angles, different views…nice.

Don't wait to long to put up that tongue and groove it will start to warp before long. Best of luck in your journey ahead.

Hi Mike, this time when you install your v joint in the cabin try mitering your outside corners , it’s not as hard as you think. As a trim carpenter I cannot think how much v joint I have installed over the years. Once you’ve done it you will be glad you did. Just remember you need a good mitre saw, a good sharp cross cut saw blade, and glue your miters and you will be fine 👍😉

Best way to start the morning! Thanks Mike 😊

Most of United States farmland sits in the ancient flood basins. That black muck is black gold. I go to the creeks in philly for it and mix it with the standard brown clay base and worm castings and ash for all my growing needs.

Today in Southern California, where I live, the forecast high is 115°. I wish it was it was in the mid-70s.

Good morning Mike I just watched your most recent video I still think that organic matter that comes out of that pond would be ideal for up there on that wide open space you called Meadow or the field if you could find an off-road truck to borrow a small one for a day you could haul all of that up there that you need and I guarantee you you'll have the green is most luscious long you've ever seen and a small rocket center would actually be good for it to long is it small small rock you have an absolutely spectacular rest of your day bye now

Going down to 75 at night here in Inverness Fl. Love the show

Hardly any rain here in Southern Indiana. Really could use some. Haven’t mowed my yard in approximately 6 weeks.

We used the very same tongue & groove from the same company. We gave the advisor our measurements and doorways and they shipped it to us. Don’t think we more than 3% waste.

Mike would a terrace the width of excavator above high water level, on each bank till arm and bucket is able to reach each bank to end of property line to control flow and future clean outs.

Huge improvement at the pond. It was well worth saving the fish while getting that sediment removed. That T&G is going to look great at the cabin and will definitely save you money and work effort. Hopefully you'll get to use the cabin this winter for a stay over. Have a great day :)

Good morning, Mike and family and friends. The T&G is awesome; it is the nicest knotty pine I have seen in years. Is that a normal stage for the grey buck that came to say hi? He looked a bit hungry when he was behind the tree, you can see his ribs quite prominently. Glad you beat the rain getting the siding in. Stay safe and keep your powder dry. Richard from NM Ok.

Mike, what are you gonna do with the lumber? You’ve already took to the cabin you must have a plan

Mike! We need to figure out how to get rid of the squeak! It's driving me crazy!! ❤

That road you built will out live us all. Well built

It would have to be sifted for roots and limbs and stuff. The light shale would add lime to the mix.

Good morning Morgan’s ❗️Nice weather today.

Spypoint makes a solar panel that will work even back into the deeper woods. The SPLB-22 will power those cameras forever. They also have a smaller panel that works where you get a little sunlight a day called the SPLB-10. I run a bunch of both and they work well. Stay fully charged all the time.

Mike I am glad to see you are working smarter, not harder. I use a trailer to move my trailer around

I must of missed the series were you all built the swimming pool . Can you tell me when you did that so I can watch those Video's ?I beat it came out Great . Thank you .

Mike, I have not heard the word "Cultipacker" in 50 years. I grew up on a farm near Canfield, Ohio. Farming teaches great life lessons.

Mike kinda’ got a chuckle when you were testing your log bridge. LOL!

Why didn't you haul the mini skid down too? You could have put the whole lift right outside the door. Save a ton of steps.

That’s a lot of rain to fill your pond up. That’s what we need here. I do like that tongue and groove. Beautiful grain in it. Cool video 👍❤️

Wood choice u made is a very smart move

Perhaps a mini dredge suction dredge would make that job easier and more complete. You can have it dugout and the water drain back side like you have now, or a little more uphill, pump the mud into the pit, and when it is solid enough dig it out. It could act as settling pond for water runoff coming into the pond also.

Good deal Mike. Yall must have two ponds.

Have you ever thought of creating a settling pond where you put your log bridge. Maybe making a dam wide enough to walk your excavator out on to clean the silt out of the settling pond? You could install a large culvert up high in the dam to move water from the settling pond to your big pond. Might be good material for your show.

Have a great day Morgans

You notice the bear in relation to the swing on the porch; that's the reason your swing is positioned wrong. It should be mounted so when in use, your back is to the cabin, not the bear, that can walk right up behind you, and they can and will. You won't hear them coming. They will close enough to poke you with their snout before you know they are there.

Can't Wait To See The Cabin Once You Get Started Installing The Pine Its Gonna Look Awesome!! Possibly you will find out Mud has slid back into the pond once you pump the water out! Keep Smiling On!! 😅👍👊❤️

Great looking cabin in the woods. Will need a stove before long. Just sit on the upper deck and hunt.

Great call on the cabin T&G. Very nice material and look forward to seeing the process take shape. The bear and deer sure enjoy the area around that one tree. Must be good stuff there. I am the same way about keeping busy. If it is daylight I need to be out. Rainy days spent in the shop. Always something to fix. Thanks for the video.

Hey Mike...you will be pleased with the look of the tounge and groove. When is the hunting stand going up?

Hi Mike, you may want to burn off the old grass, then incorporate with the top layer of soil, put down some lime, then seed. It is an old way to do things.... very successful for fall seedings!

The deer seem attracted to the pine tree at the cabin!

We need rain in the worst way everyone's wells are drying up for miles around us including ours, I've drained my sistren as well. I've started to haul water in. Atleast we are having beautiful days and I don't have to cut grass it just crunches when you walk on it, lololo!.

Having that big pond on your property should be looked as a great asset to the property as it is a magnate for all the wildlife. All that stuff dug out from the pond should be piled up and left for a year or two so that it can rot down into a good compost..

Mr. Mike, I think that pawn settlement would really make great soil as an additive to a garden. If you can turn it and flip it and fluff it up and try to get rid of some of the debris it might work very well. I know it has a lot of nourishment in it so it could be very helpful. Thank you for listening

You could have a bear rug for the cabin..😂🙃

Commericals with the morgans indoors

Mike,another excellent piece of work and video looking forward to seeing the tongue and groove pine being put up 😮😊❤

Thank you for another video.

Yay, you’re a Mountaineer again!

Hi Mike… any chance of running some diversion pipe to stop water flow into the pond. Give you a chance to clean it out. I haven’t seen where the water is coming from so I can’t tell the size. Then there is always a call to the Army Corp of Engineers.

Gidday Mike, loving the pond content. We were at a similar point trying to deal with silt on our half acre pond that had dried up after a very dry summer and autumn. Typically we then just had the wettest August in a long time that put pay to any work this year. Have you though of establishing a couple silt barriers/filters (rock or broken concrete) up stream with suitable access for your plant equipment and maybe a spot to lay back the silt to dry. We had a similar issues with silt coming from other properties and I put a few in. It worked well in our case as the silt layer on our pond floor has been developing a lot slower since and also takes some of the velocity out of the water in high rains. That being said we are coastal/rural flat land, so what you are dealing with in those hills is another kettle of fish and might quickly overwhelm such a set up. Keep it up. Cheers

Have you ever watched Chris from LetsDig18? He builds a lot of ponds - larger to small. It's a science. Building the core, the dam, the spillway and always uses a ton of clay. Get his channel a look. Lots can be learned.

That dang John Denver was right. "Almost heaven, West Virginia". You have food and a rug walking around in your front yard. Now that's neighborly if you ask me. Good vid.

pond muck for garden use from your pond would be great your watershed all natural organic no toxic run off from highways etc the small stone 🪨 shale? not actually problem have seen some garden? where just sand very compact clay that needs material to help breath and drain

The Deer and such will love the road down to the pond. Less stress to get a drink. Wow what down pours can do.

Good morning Mike- About your pond. I am curious as to how many acres of watershed drain into your wooded pond? Also, and you may have thought of this before, but would you have a more accessible area upstream where you could install a sediment pond that you could clean out debris as needed? Enjoy your video's.

If you are getting rid of those logs, you could use them to make a Corderoy road to your pond, the internet will tell you how to make them , you need to bury them at a certain depth so they don’t rot, many miles of them in Alaska

Mike, just to the right (uphill) side of log access into pond , place class c riprap or recycled sidewalk material for retention style pre catch
