Mike , you are a good steward to your family, your land, and the the things God has provided you... take the time and thank him for your blessings!! You are a man after my own heart...

A Great Day Of getting loose odds and ends done around the Morgans Ranch!!👍👊

I’m a hobby Maple Syrup producer here in the U P of Michigan. And I was outside making Maple syrup this spring. Our Governor said we could be outside doing some activities while not in contact with others. So I was in my sugar shack boiling maple sap and enjoying it, and happy to have something to keep me busy. Our evaporator is wood fired so uses a lot of wood firing every 10 minutes to keep the boil. So with that in mind I must make many trips to my wood shed with a wagon and wheelbarrow bringing wood in for the evaporator. As you probably know it takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of Maple syrup. This year we ended up with just 2 quarts shy of 67 gallons of Pure Michigan Maple Syrup, about an average year for us. We are so Blessed to have acres of sugar maples, good friends, and health to keep this hobby going since 1973! My Father-in-law was with me from the start and did most of the boiling until he turned 100. He is no longer able to boil but just had a Birthday in April turning 103!

Hi to Mike and Melissa from all of us in Central Massachusetts! Lots more folks outside walking, doing yard work, playing with the dog and such. More target practice around here too. We're working on firewood, gardening, and getting the veggies planted in the greenhouse. The garlic is already coming up nice. The chickens are laying up a storm! This week is supposed to stay sunny through Memorial Day. Really enjoying the new Kubota tractors getting their workouts.

Rural Missouri never really locked down. We’re definitely up and running now. Red states Rock!

Sure wish I had lots of woods to hunt, fish, garden and maybe an occasional overnight in the woods! Love the way you and the wife live, I’m always looking forward to seeing your next video, thank you!

Really liked the guy with the small hatchet cutting the log at the intro and extro!!

I live in town in Cape Girardeau, southeast Missouri. From the outset of the virus I have noticed a lot more people walking the neighborhood. Individuals, families, kids in strollers and more dog-walkers. It seems that girls walk dogs more than guys. And then the icing on the cake - I just love those big, fluffy dogs! Archie is a riot!

For the last 12 years, I have commuted 2 to 2 1/2 hours per day. I have been fortunate to be able to work from home for the last 9 weeks but what has been amazing is, I have made it a point to find a project each day (weather permitting) utilizing the time that I would otherwise be sitting in traffic. I have gotten so many things done. It has been amazing.

I got a good kick out of that outro! If you are that person who made and is reading the comments, thank you! It made my day!! :)

New England , Taxachussetts , This is GREAT , less people on the roads , plenty of TP. Haven't missed a day of work , essential business , all are safe , doing the finer things in life. Have fun all , Have a GREAT DAY !!

Mike, we can only hope that what you and I are seeing will actually keep up its momentum after things fully come back online. I work at Home Depot in Georgia and have witnessed near sellouts of paint, flooring, etc since first of March. An added bonus down here is that all the animals at the pet shelters have been adopted out. Now that warms the heart! Archie - Nothing like having a new kid in town to "stir up the puddin".

I live in Missouri. I recently bought an unimproved 13 acre property way down in the sticks. During this time in our country, i'm building a cabin (25' x 16'). It will be completely off-grid. I've noticed at LOWES there are many more people buying hime improvement items. Yes. It's almost like when we were kids and played outdoors everyday. What a joy it is to get out into the woods with just me and my dogs working on the cabin and property. Thank You, Mike, for the videos. They are greatly appreciated. Blessings to you.

Indiana here, we're seeing more people out and trying to get back to normal. Hope it keeps going. God Bless.

Hi Mike, This is your neighbor to the north in Caledonia, NY. This is a dairy community and we grow all types of beans and feed corn and corn for ethanol In our village I see a lot of families out for walks and bicycle rides.. Best of all there are neighbors standing out talking with each other. That hasn't happened much in a long while. The fellow across the street has constructed a castle from wooden pallets for his 2 young kids. It has a slide, swing and many internal passages, also many places to climb. I had a recent surgery, but have been tinkering with my cars and doing yard projects. I still have to convert my tractor from sno-blowing to lawn mowing. As I have been recuperating, I've been watching Outdoors with the Morgans.

Hey Mike! This is Chris in Lake Stevens, (North of Seattle Wa). Yes! All of the hardware stores, whether small, medium or large chains are slammed with bidness! I have been spending all of my time working on my property and I have discovered that everyone else has the same idea. Doesn't matter whether you have a small back yard or 20 acres. They're making the most of what they have. My project is big so I'm hitting all the stores... hardware, lumber, rocks, dirt and co-ops. They are all busy and many are running out material. Fencing is a great example. I'm converting 5 acres into equestrian pastures and it was a struggle to get all of the materials I needed before they ran out of stock. I have to wait two weeks to have a brush hog delivered because they are so busy. The salesman said he has sold more tillers in 6 months than he has in 6 years. Co-ops can't keep gardening supplies in stock. Cabellas is a big sporting goods store on the west coast and they ran out of ammo. Smaller gun stores are in the same condition. I have seen the same for online ammo stores. I'm not one, but I remember a lot of people poking fun at the preppers, but this pandemic gave everyone a taste of reality that you need to be at least a little more self reliant. Maybe a LOT more!

To the question you asked in the middle of the video the changes we are seeing in coastal CT are similar to what you are seeing with people doing more things outside. The first noticeable thing is that people are exercising more by taking advantage of hiking trials, biking, kayaking, and neighborhood walks. My Deere dealer says that he's never been busier with new mower and parts sales. The other thing that's happening which is a good thing for farmers is that people are clearly taking time to cook a lot more. That means more sales for farmers and for the DIYers more "Victory" gardens going in. The only down side is lower seed, plant, and compost supplies. For us in the farming business(grape growing) the daily work is the same and very enjoyable. At this time of year we are seeing all the migratory birds coming back onto the property. I'm guessing you're seeing the same. As you mentioned this new environment is a wake up call on being prepared to take advantage of new opportunities. It is also a breather for many that allows for more family time which is a good thing. Thanks for the video post. Cheers!

Charlotte N.C saying hello to the Morgan's! We got rained out today so no wood cutting. It is ok I have maintenance on our splitter and 6 saws to keep me busy! Suppose to rain all week. I knew that clover would do good. The reason I said something about it. Great for their racks as well as rabbits! Set a mineral block or 2 on those old stumps and watch the deer tear them out of the ground! Have a day and God Bless!

I see a trend towards things like victory gardens, which were seen in WWII. In today's day and age it's important to be more self-sufficient.I've planted fruit trees, built a huge garden, designed an aquaponics system to help grow produce and raise fish, rearing chickens, and want to build a greenhouse. I definitely don't want another situation like we are going through right now to dictate my ability to get supplies again.

Another day with OUTDOORS WITH THE MORGANS GOD bless Stay safe Elkmont, Alabama

Loved the Intro/Outro on this one.....

Hi Bob Morgan here. I just wanted to say that I enjoy watching your videos.

Hey Mike! Another great video. I too, have seem lots of folks around here getting into their homes. We've got 30 hens and roosters. We also sell eggs. We get lots of folks over the last 2 months wanting to buy our chickens. We also have honeybees and sell honey. Folks not only buy our honey but also are attempting to buy our bees! Folks seem to be very interested in homesteading! It's great. I always talk time to help folks out. We just raised 10 little chickens and they were bought at two weeks old. Folks here in Western Kentucky are also all starting gardens...those that didn't already have them.

Texas, I am not going to tell you how to fill a feeder, but I did basically what you do for years. At 73 I finally got smart put feed on pallet, with ladder on top, picked up with bucket forks and leveled it off at feeder with ladder to the side, just pull a bag forward and fill feeder. Why did it take me so long to figure this one out I will never know. Love you shows.

The best pro about having the tank under the hood is if you have a block heater it keeps the tank relatively warm in the winter!

Hi Mike. I appreciated the commentary. Here in NC it is much the same. I just purchased a brand new MX5400 w grapple, box blade, and bush hog to work on my 70 acre farm. I’m a first time tractor owner and I really appreciate you and your family putting yourselves out there: it has taught me so much. Can’t wait to take delivery of the new tractor in two weeks.

Down here in central Florida, things are hustlin' and buslin'. Thanks for the entertainment! And thanks for being one of the channels that inspired me to create my own!

From Sonoma (CA). Seeing much of the same thing. Many people who are not in the Ag business are working on their yards, pastures, gardens and houses. Great to see people out walking and exercising too. I agree that is one of the silver linings from all of this. Good to see many people spending more time together, getting innovative and finding creative ways to entertain & also educate themselves and their families. I can tell you our property has never looked better and by the time this is all over, will look amazing. P.S. we bought a new tractor too!

Hey guys I have to say the landing looked much bigger at one time. Now it’s looking small. But that’s what happens when we get productive. Good job guys. Keep the good videos up.

Another great video here in California I see more people trying to do home projects and getting back to doing family things.

Central Pennsylvania here, yes have noticed the same here, many people enjoying the outdoors. Nothing has really changed much here, just keeping busy with the many outdoor chores.

The supermarket stop & shop by us is giving away bags of herb seed pods, friends and family asking a lot of questions about what and how to grow things 🙂

Yes, way more people outside and interested in the experiences that offers. Ottawa, Canada

I truly enjoy your videos. I live in the San Fernando Valley which is part of the city of Los Angeles. I still live in the same area where I grew up as a boy. In the late 1950s, much of the San Fernando Valley was still very rural, orange and lemon groves still populated the Valley along with Olive groves, vineyards, and several horse ranches too. I had a few classmates who rode their horses to school. But the area became the birthplace for our nation's space industry. The huge rocket engines that powered men to the moon and back were developed, built, and tested in the area where I grew up. Today the heavy industry has given way to apartments and retail/restaurants/bars. In some respects it's cool, but it's the big city lifestyle.

Mike your bang on with the back to landers. It is happening everywhere. . But most people don't know how to garden, bake bread, sew or mend clothing. But back to basics we need to think about for sure

Hello from SE Indiana. Lots of outdoor projects going on here as well (probably some indoor ones going on as well). People are improving their landscapping and keeping the grass mowed! Archie is getting used to the family, what a cutie.

I agree. I think a lot of people's lives have been forced to "slow" down. Everyone was so busy going here and going there and even with their children, running, running, running, baseball games and practice, football games and practice, soccer, band, etc. These are not bad things but sometimes we get overloaded. Families have had time to really connect again and yes, find things to do TOGETHER while so many things have been shut down. America will bounce back; it may take a while, but I hope NEW family oriented activities will continue also. Mark and Debbie Powell from beautiful Ocala (Central) Florida. #HorseCountry

I agree with silver lining analogy. Here in Green Bay it seems most people have essential jobs. I know for my family we are doing more around the house, especially the yard. It's a new house for us and this is the first spring so we are getting it sorted to our liking.

Texas. I have enjoyed this time away from work although I feel for those who have been adversely affected. I’m about a year from retirement and this gave me a little taste. Have done a lot of projects; garden,beekeeping, chickens, land clearing, etc. I have gone back to work full time and miss the freedom to do the things I love other than my day job. Lumber/hardware stores have been swamped with customers.

Mike I live in the middle of NC and garden seed and plants have been harder to come by this year because some people are planting gardens this year that never have before. I have a son that works for one of the big box hardware stores and they have been extremely busy. I love the kubota and have one a little smaller , it has been a joy and has saved my old back a lot. Love the videos please keep em going.

Hi guys Willie from N. Wales (originally from Ireland) we are still in lockdown and you are correct Mike when I am out for my daily walk I see that hedges are nicely trimmed, grass is looking good, fences are painted and driveways are power washed. Great to have seen Hunter in the last video. Take care and keep safe.

Richmond, KY. About the same here. Enjoying the outdoors as much as possible!!

We have been in self isolation since mid March in Southern California. We retired 3 years ago and bought a second property in Idaho, and a Cooks 3238 sawmill and a tractor. We wanted to be in Idaho in early April this year so we could burn the slash. Now the plan is to be in Idaho the first week of June. Lot's fun ahead of us! We need to install the water system and build a house!

Hello M&M. The new pup had me laughing. I think he is right at home. Just checking in from Newnan, GA. Currently doing a renovation on my shop during a 90 day leave of absence from work.

Preventive maintenance is always cheaper . I like the way you preserve things .

Loews and Home Depot are very busy at this time of the year, but now much more than before. Tractor Supply and Harbor Freight the same way. People stay at home, don't want to waist money and decide to do it themselves. Here in California that is my observation as well.Also many of us came to realize that those little things in life are the things they remind us of what is good and solid. Thank you Morgan's.

Rick Bowser, from Hollidaysburg,Pa. When I pressure wash I use a Karcher disk for my pressure washer wand. It will cut down your pressure washing time in half. I use it on my concrete and just did my deck and it did an amazing job. Love your videos and your toys. Have a great day!

It's like that here in Ireland, all the houses are painted, gardens look great, everyone is out exercising with their families, in our village the sense of community had returned

Swede 101 Getting a lot of work done outside, tree trimming , gardening, putting down bark, weeding lawns and some Honey doos around the house inside. We live near Battleground, Washington.

All well here in Columbia SC. We have been blessed with an actual spring this year. Your property reminds me of my grandads 100acre farm I went to as a kid. Great memories. I enjoy the videos.

Mike instead of staining, try this get a good exterior paint and some media blasting sand. First put a coat of paint on the trailer immediately after painting sprinkle on the desired amount of media blasting sand and once you do that put another coat of paint while rolling the sand into the paint. (Gives it that linex Berliner texture at a fraction of the cost plus you get awesome traction and durability. Have done this to my snowmobile trailer and utility trailer and it has been holding up great!! Have a awesome day!

Best intro yet! Love that humor.

Your right, Mike. The big-box stores and DIY stores have been , to my sight, busier more than usual ALL WEEK instead of just on weekends or holidays.

As the new NORMAL Mike I think your correct, yes the finer things in life we like to do just may be the NEW way of living. Be safe and love new pup

Yes Mike and Melissa. My name is Randy and I live in Alcoa Tennessee at Eastern Tennessee and I could see a big difference in the neighborhood that I live in where lot of people are cleaning out their garages and their storage shed. See a lot of people doing more in their yards. And yes the Home Depot Lowe's all the hardware stores are busy.

Nick from MN here-lots of DIY people out and about. Hardware stores are packed all day everyday!

From Eaton Ohio near Ohio , Indiana line. Love the videos and what your all about. I think your spot on with people being out more! If there is a silver lining it is that we are all looking at things in a different way which for me, takes us back to the more simple things that really matter! Family, friends and being outdoors! Keep up the great work. By the way my wife just got a new golden retriever.

Legend has it... Conrad is still bucking up that log!! :-(

Thanks for another great video. Here in western CT the nurserys and home depot have been very busy, yards are looking alot better than they have been. Its good to see people tending to their land.

yes, people getting back into gardening whether garden boxes or garden plots, I've been roto-tilling a bit more for people and my wife is busy at the garden center.

Down in Palm Beach, FL, agree, our neighborhood is bustling with families out walking and riding bikes together. Hearing a lot more saws and screws being driven. I have installed new hardware for hurricane shutters, trimmed a few windows, built a few new wood projects, and and re-doing my fence picket by picket.

Mike, seeing the same thing around here, people doing a lot more outside. Kind of a nice thing to see, husband, wife, kids all outside messing around making their places look pretty again. State College Pa, not far from you guys.

Our area in Northwest Indiana is the same as yours, lots of people doing much more outside projects! This season I’ve planted strawberries for the first time! Menards is a lot more crowded, and Wal-Marts outdoor department is too! Another great video with my coffee this morning! Thanks! Love from Northwest Indiana! 🙏🏻👏👍💗😉

Great video, we are in Dunnellon, Fl. Things are starting to open up more and more and your right a lot more people are doing things outdoor. We need to get back to our roots, you stated people getting backyard chickens, your right -- we have a small 20 acres farm and we have chickens among others, more and more people are coming by to look at our setup for the chickens, it is always fun to get the kids involved. God bless and have a great day.

Used motor oil works great on trailer planks. It will help preserve them for years to come. Paint on with brush. It will dial right in to wood. Thanks!!!

I'm from northeast PA. My county is still red But I do see more people walking riding bikes and fishing. Also I did not know there were this many kids in my neighborhood lol. Stay safe and be Kind.

Here in southwest Ohio people are spending more time with family outside getting home projects done. I have been doing a lot of time caring for my property and tinkering in my Barndominium. God bless you and your family.

Self reliance is a beautiful thing!

Yep seeing same thing in Central Fl. We are a little further ahead, than you guys. Restaurant's are open , I think 25% capacity. Gyms , etc open. Seeing families all together, riding bikes or doing something. Some if these neighbors I had never seen outdoors before. So out of all the bad that came from this virus there is a silver lining. We are all slowing down enjoying life and spending more time with our kids and family. Take care, stay safe.

Lots of new gardens and raised beds here now. The recycling facility is very busy. Lots of folks cleaning up there property. Maine getting getting better.

Mike I am from Halifax Nova Scotia and own 8 Home Improvement stores. I can confirm what you are seeing as sales in three categories are definitely up. One is in outdoor patio furniture and bbq, Second is in lawn and garden supplies, and third is general Home Improvement such as decks, sheds, fences, etc.

I live in a farming community and I haven't seen any changes with the farmers and ranchers in my area.... we also have zero covid-19 cases in my county. Before I retired at the end of 2005, I was working my tail off and never had time to work on projects around my home. I'm now working just as much living on a farm as I did pre-retirement, but my quality of life is so much better. My daughters both live in large cities with their families and they are stuck in their homes.... all I can say is that country living is mighty fine these days. Eastern Washington

I saw lots of people at Lowe's when I had to go last week for some essential stuff! I am ready for things to get back to normal! As someone said earlier, Archie looks like he is going to rule the roost soon.

I agree with the observation of more people out and about here in New Baltimore, Michigan . . . Bike trails and parks are attracting a lot more people than is typical in spring.

Here in Muskoka, Ontario, spring has finally arrived and things are greening up. Home Improvement stores are very busy, with both contractors and homeowners. This being cottage country, we would normally see a flood of tourists and seasonal residents now. That is coming much slower as everyone is cautious about Covid. Retail stores are just opening up now, but no camping allowed in the parks and beaches and resorts are closed. Much more is expected to open up in the next few weeks. No real problems with any shortages, except perhaps Lysol wipes. Stay safe Morgan’s!

Hey Mike. Yes down here in Florida they are keeping the home improvement stores busy. I even put down about 25 bags of red mulch around the yard myself. Refreshing the red mulch is my usual spring thing.

My wife and I have been cutting and cleaning up the dead trees at our cabin. We've done projects we've been putting off for years. I stained our large deck. Three more smaller decks to go.

I'm outside the Portland, Oregon area. Since my van broke down a year ago, I got lots of 'quarantine' practice for the real deal. 65 years old, retired, no worries.

I could watch a video of just Your Dogs playing around!!!!!!!

Mike thanks for telling us how long you can feed. I just said PA must be different than NH then in the video you cleared it up. Nice family and great equipment just started watching. You and Mellisa have your hands full. Love the building. Keep up the good work. Thanks

Hi, from NW Wisconsin. Things here are like what you're noticing, people doing more out doors, getting various projects done. Our growing season is just getting started, so it's time to get my flower and vegetable gardens going!

The puppy was fun to watch. Have a great day.

Las Vegas, Salons/barbers open, restaurants open with distancing. No casinos yet. Was in Walmart to pickup mixing bowls for the Pizza dough making wife and all the kitchen supplies were gone, bicycles gone people riding the strip as it’s temporarily turned back to the locals. Crazy world! Thanks for your channels.

From Bolivar,Ohio we have a new bike and walking path that is open now alot of people is using it, Family's with their kids ridding bikes, seeing lot of strollers and yes I see pet strollers too.I myself have been trying to plant a garden in my raised beds, potatoes in baskets, radish's in flower pots not much room to garden but I am doing it, so just keep on keeping on Lisa in East Central Ohio.

Yes I am seeing people doing a lot more work at home. I am an essential worker like you Mike. So not as much extra time as others. However I have been spending a lot more time on my vegetable garden. Even built a bee hotel. God bless

Eastern Kentucky. Seeing the same thing here, people are out doing projects around the house. Lowes is always packed!!!

Hi Morgans family, I’m in New Zealand and we are at level 2. Your not wrong there about people getting out more onto their properties and doing a lot of home maintenance, building and that. Our Bunnings and mitre 10 warehouses have been bombarded with online orders and in-store shopping its crazy even on this side of the world.

Yes I've also noticed, all around, people are outside more. God works in mysterious ways...blessed be the name of the Lord. Awesome intro and outro

Here in Michigan, I had to stay downstate while my wife and kids took off for the cottage in Northern Michigan. They’ve been up there this whole time and I visit on the weekends. At least they’re enjoying the great outdoors (when the weather cooperates). Hi Hunter:)

Hi Mike, I´m from Ecuador South America and here we are in red light to go outside, that means that everything is closed and we only have one day to go out and buy food and thingd we need, it´s tough but we try to manage and make the best of it, you all take care and be safe

Hey all, I grew up in Bedford Co. PA, about 2 hours east of Mike. The cold weather started getting real annoying, so now I live way down at the southern part of Virginia about 25 miles from the North Carolina state line, and about 20 minutes from the Martinsville Speedway.

living in the eastern townships region in Quebec Canada. local co-op is out of chicks and layers. I've been raising my own birds for years and have never seen a shortage..so yes people are doing different things thanks Mike for the videos.

Hello from North East Indiana. We have been seeing more people outside here as well

Hey this is Andrew from Evansville,Indiana . We are well people are getting out alot now as of Friday the 22 . People have been working outside more walking. Hardware store s really have been busy. I have continued to work every week through the whole ordeal. I am really thankful for that. Unfortunately other s haven't.

Austin Tx in a large subdivision and many families are walking to the community Mail Box location -all indivigual boxes under a covered roof- for their Mail. This combines exercise, picking up the mail, and walking the dog!

We are getting a lot more done around our little homestead. We've got chicken and have built a new coop. We put in a garden. We've got some other items on the list but the stink'n rain won't stop.

In WV, we put signs out at our feeders. This corn is for squirrels only deer keep out !!!!!!!

Archie👍 Every dog gets his day

We are in NW Washington. The big home improvement stores around here are PACKED every day. We are moving to our new house on 5 acres and need some things for it but have been avoiding going to the big stores due to so many people. People are for sure keeping busy doing home improvement stuff! Next week we start milling up 17 huge trees we dropped with our woodmizer LT35. Making 2 storage sheds and siding for our new shop. Cant wait to start making boards.

We are getting a lot done around our property here in southwest Ohio. Thanks for the videos Mike
