As some people do not realize that the removal of fallen, sick and damaged trees is a very good way to insure the health of the rest of the forest. Allowing the sunlight to reach the canopy floor insures that there will be a forests for further generations to enjoy. If done right and with care there will be trees for many generations to enjoy and responsible harvest. The forest is like all other living things on this planet it requires Love and Care to continue. Mike and Mellissa are very good examples of when two responsible people care about the world and people around them. Love you guys keep up the great work! keep the videos coming.

My passion was my retirement job, over 30 years in the fire and end service! I was told once by a very smart man that if you love your job, take pride in your job and have a little fun now and again you will never have a boring day. He was my very first boss at the age of 14, working at my high school after school and during the summer months. Thank you Charles (Chuck) McCullough!

Those are some beautiful cherry slabs! Your passion for what you all do is reflected in everyone of your videos. GOOD ADVICE Melissa!

@Hello Rick how are you doing

Only Mother Nature can make something so beautiful. Great job guys not letting that tree go to waste.

Hello you all! Love your chanel. Hard work never hurt anyone! Every fall for the last 4 years 20+ men ranging from 18 to 78 years young turn out to cut, split and delivery. 14-16 cord of fire wood for a family that gears with wood. The father is handicap and can no longer cut wood. So we all join in and lens a hand, saw, truck. It's for a good Sat of fun and hard work. This last Oct we had 20+ men, 6 saws, 3 splitters, 8 trucks, 1 dump trailer. No one got hurt and nothing broke! Good day!

This channel is great entertainment. Melissa is the sunshine. Everybody loves sunshine.

Thank you for your thoughts on negative people. Pursue your passion. If I would have listened to the negativity of “you’re not going to make it, you’ll regret it,” yada yada, when I wanted to join the Air Force years ago I would not have seen the 49 countries I traveled to, lived in Italy for five years and Portugal for 16 months, retired after 30 years, and here I am content nine years after retirement. People can kill your joy, we just need to celebrate and be happy for each other. Thanks for what you do. Enjoy your videos.

Who is this absolute zero uninformed person? You only take dead falls, and normally only dead Standing wood for what you use. I live in south central Pa. We hunt an area the state had contracted for clear cutting 5 years ago. Today the number of young trees growing in that area make it impossible to walk through. I hunt an area cleared 15 years ago and there are so many volunteer cherry trees growing in that area still make it tough to walk through. But the wildlife loves it. You go ahead Mike and Melissa you two are very good stewards of the land you own and manage. Keep up the great work. Beautiful log great piece for a mantle over the fireplace.

Amazed at the beauty of the wood, each tree has its own ID just like our fingerprints, I have no problem with what you are doing especially the entertainment we all gain whilst you follow your dream with Melissa whilst doing something constructive....Hey...have a Day!!!!!

@Hello John how are you doing

SOUTHERN INDIANA HERE: I like it when Piper, Ruger, and you Melissa the “Supreme Allied Commander” of the Morgan family comes in to help/supervise. Piper and Ruger give you moral support.

Melissa i have to say that your insight, ideas and opinions are invaluable to the making of all your videos.

Well y’all won me over! PIPER! What a wonderful breed of dog. My wife and I absolutely love our golden. She’s our first golden, had we know how gentle, loving and calm they are we’d have had them long ago. Our girl is like a daughter to us, we love this dog to death. Your dog is darker than ours, wonder why.

Greetings from No. VT - many a morning the Morgan video is posted right about when I am in the house having a second (or third) morning coffee and it is the high point of many days!

Melissa, I agree that if you love doing something, just do it. If you are doing it for your self enjoyment, you don't have to be good at it. Just keep doing it, you'll get better at it, and have a good time on the way.

The perfect antidote to constant negativism: Morgan morning cheer. Everybody's starved for positive outlook. Why "Buckin'" is such a force for good. Great work, guys. Keep spreadin' the love.

Mike, I'm kind of a loner. Not very social and spend most of my time in the woods and mountains away from people. Your channel has improved me as a person by makeing me realize that there is a lot of good people in the world. THANK YOU very much.

That Cherry truly is beautiful. I watched a guy mill a Butternut and that was also just so nice. From the time I took shop in 7th grade, I've loved the smell and looks of wood.

I had a local woodworker make kitchen cabinets made from cherry with just a satin lacquer finish- no stain. They turned a beautiful cinnamon in just a year and continued to change for a few years after that. Love the look of natural finished cherry.

Gorgeous Cherry wood. Great rescue. Ignore the haters. you explained up front it was a fallen tree. I love the positive commentary on doing what you love and are good at. I am a musician and a beekeeper. retired and enjoy gardening,hunting, fishing. the list goes on.

That Cherry was very beautiful wood. Good to see it didnt go to waste. 🇺🇸

That is Spectacular Looking Lumber!!👍👊

Hey guys You are so right about finding a job that your good at and enjoy. I was just talking to my wife this weekend and said if she isn't happy with her current job she needs to find her passion and set a goal and timeline to do what she loves. Life is way to short to just exist and not enjoy.

You should decorate your mini cabin with the bark covered slabs you take off of your trees on the saw mill. That would look really cool out in the woods.

Love your passion for purpose Melissa. I'm 75 and have played music all my life because that's what I was put here to do. If people could only find their passion and get good at it, they will never work a day in their lives. You will learn to make a living at it if you work hard and get good at it, though I use the word work lightly. For those that place importance in what the Bible says, one good verse is proverbs 20:5 - The purpose in a man's heart is like deep water, but a man of understanding will draw it out.

Dear Morgans' Rescue Team: You are doing Great Work, and saving the fallen trees helps: The land, all them that would buy the wood and make high value items from same, yourselves, by creating a well of 'positive energy' that you actually share, and this helps others, who may be trapped in higher density locations realize 'just how this all works.' (Do note that the Pool will also create similar net positive benefits...The storage of water, alone, will establish a very real Benefit....carry on!!!! yaay!!!

What an awesome couple be nice to have a wife or partner like you got Mike God bless you folks

Great video. It is good that the haters do not get you guys discouraged. That is beautiful wood you milled.

The reason your videos are so popular, is because we're all jealous because we can't do the same stuff, and as long as your practising good forestry management, you'll never run out of trees....enjoy what you've got...God has blessed you with it😀

Mike Great log. I love PA cherry. Just a suggestion when you have beautiful lumber like that if you draw or paint a triangle on the butt ends the woodworker can pull the boards in order of the way it came off the tree. Makes bookmatching the grain so much easier and nicer for their projects.

Hey Mike, I can see ribs cooking with ah little cherry/hickory, or, cherry/oak, um-um-good. I used to have ah large cherry secretary, beautiful grain, burned up in house fire. I love cherry wood period. Great to look at, great to cook with. Melissa, you're right, You do You, and make the world ah better place !! 👍

Just happened upon your channel and boy am I glad I did! This is some of the most beautiful cherry wood I’ve ever seen! I’ll forever LOVE working with cherry lumber. Such a beautiful, rich and distinct look to it. Fantastic video.

Thaks for the advice! You guys R awesome, !

i am glad you are using the down log out . that is good for the forest . and you are not dropping the live trees .doing it that way you will never run out of trees. i like that idea .

I cut wood for heat of our home. I trap predators, put up fur for myself and other hunters and trappers. Your doing what is right for your life and do not listen or even allow folks who do not know what they are taking about like absolute zero Block em and move on. You folks know what your doing and you should not even allow the unacknowledged comment. Just my thoughts on this you have gone over this a number of times and those of us who like you site and what you do have heard it over and over again. Keep on going Morgans....

Hello Mr. and Mrs. Morgans. My name is Arman Poloyan. I come from Armenia and I enjoy watching your videos every day because i love Your lifestyle.

Fantastic, keep up the good work. I see some negative comments. I bet they have never seen a tree in life. I’m in Vermont and I go hiking almost every weekend I tell you it’s beautiful and lots of trees just sitting there on the ground. I’m glad this gentleman made this video so others could do the same. Thanx

Aren't you glad a few of us on your channel convinced you in to buy a woodmizer sawmill so you could see how beautiful the inside of them are and another source of income.

I enjoy the videos keep up the good work!!!

Beautiful wood! Great that you were able to rescue it with the winch. Keep doing what you love, and thank you for doing it!!

The wood looks awesome nice tractor and saw mill. Melissa you are a spokesman motivator that's awesome what you said about getting up and just doing what you like doing not the normal good job and I bet the lasagna was awesome God bless you and your family

Great video again!!! We got to see Mike, Melissa, those beautiful dogs, an amazing adventure with the Morgans, a truly fantastic cherry log magically transformed into absolutely stunning lumber and a bunch of thankful viewer comments (sane one). I won’t be the same the rest of the day thanks to our dear Morgan family in PA! My prayers go to heaven the Morgans remain just who the are and are able to continue to show us a couple thousand (at least) more videos like this one!

Msllisa you’re so rite stick what you like and don’t listen to other people telling you can’t do it and you will succeed. Love your channel watch it every day.

Loved your message Melissa! Mike, thanks for rescuing that beautiful Cherrywood. It looks to me like heirloom furniture quality and will certainly be enjoyed by generations to come. Who knows, maybe the carpenter lives in the Mojave desert!

Just look, all the nice new expensive equipment, and what does he do... leaves the square on the gravel to get stepped on or driven over! Got to love it! I’m sure it even stays out in the weather as well!

Mike, not sure if you've talked with any woodworkers about what kind of wood we use, but if you see downed trees that are just started to rot, those provide beautiful spalted wood. Google spalted cherry. If you mill and sell that wood, you'll get top dollar for it. Same thing for turning blanks. Please don't burn that stuff!! Sell it for blanks!

My grandson is working towards being a blacksmith. He is passionate about it.

Mike is the blue looking water on the wood mizer for cooling the blade when you are cutting. Also I think that it is great that your wife helps you like she does. Keep up the great work. Jack McCracken

That would make a nice looking dining room table. Nice save.

@Hello Another how are you doing

I usually am eating my breakfast while watching. Enjoy so much watching lumber coming off the mill. As I used to drive across I-76 in southern PA, I wondered what kind of trees were growing on all those hills. Is it a mix of oak, cherry, and maple as on your property? Couldn't tell while speeding down the interstate. Good message, Melissa, about finding your passion and pursuing it. Sometimes, it means working the 9-5 job, and then, giving the rest of the day to your passion, as Mike does. KZread gives people a chance to enjoy the activities of others from a warm and cozy environment. Thanks for being willing to endure the cold for us.

Everyone was quite hard on Absolute Zero ! He is just concerned about mature forests. Here in Wisconsin there are no more that 80 acres of virgin forest. I myself manage 80 acres of woods for the purpose of fire wood for my home. Every year I visit a place in Ontario that has never been cut. It is beautiful and nature is doing a wonderful job of keeping the bush beautiful. Beautiful trees.

Yes! Keep doing what you're doing. Crystal and I really identify with your daily. Thanks so much and God Bless.

I love that the Absolute Zero comment was pinned. I have met very learned people that think like that because it seems logical, but only if you are ignorant of how boreal forests actually propagate and how prolific they are. Nature abhors a vacuum, and seems to treat open fields as such. It is totally unnecessary to plant anything and like it or not, within ten years you will have a forest. If you plant trees, you might get a forest a year or two sooner, or the forest of your choosing as opposed to what nature selects, but a forest you will get whether you plant or not. In fact, billions of dollars are spent to prevent forestation as forests are what happen when you don't cut the grass!

We love watching what you do and learning from it. Beautiful cherry wood. Have a productive day.

And...we love that you share this with us, Melissa. :)

Good morning Mike and Melissa, what a save from the burn/rotting forest floor. Converting to the winching abilities open up more wasted resources for sure. Even those 6’ cutoffs will/can provide some beautiful slabs for building lots of things. You both did a great job, like the song said years ago “ do what you do do well “ can’t go wrong with that thinking and doing !!👍👍 You folks are a prime example and we thank you for sharing with us.
