  • Yep, we’re in it deep, but fifty percent doesn’t have clue. Not enough adults left in the room.
  • If you're selling firewood at the same price as last year, you're losing 25%! Remember... three and one half years ago gas was $1.86 here; Now it's $3.44. That's 84% inflation, and all the press media is still trying to tell us that it's good.
  • @btrent9244
    You and I are realists. You’re right on target. TERM LIMITS AND NO LOBBYISTS AT THE FEDERAL CONGRESSIONAL (House and Senate) LEVEL will be a good start.
  • @emilwaldman7906
    Mike... You're one smart dude ! I can't help but think that whatever the future holds, you and Melissa and family will fare better than most simply due to your "6th sense" ! God bless you and yours !!!
  • @stannelson2582
    Mike if you want a real judge of how things are. Go look at shopping carts in the grocery store. Most have just the essentials with a few other items. That’s how most are living.
  • Thank you Mike for saying my name. The bird nest maybe blew off in your storm. You make splitting those round look easy. The out look for this country is not good. That care and be safe
  • @BG-vq9fd
    I still notice a lot of businesses closing. A rental business I have frequented for about 50 years has just closed and auctioning all their equipment today. A tire store I drive by has been torn down in the last 2 weeks. I liked your captain analogy.
  • @kwantao69
    Mike, I think your key phrase, or at least the one that really got my attention was, "being honest with yourself".
  • @johnkirby6547
    Good morning Mike and Melissa. Always enjoy watching your machine at work. Your observation of how things are going is spot on and loved your analogy about the ship..
  • @donaldmiller4366
    Hey Mike..enjoy that sandwich. I agree with you on the dollar and the value of having all of your ducks in a row.
  • Haha you’re not the average fire wood guy!!! Thinking deeper in business is so important!! Cheers man Australia love you !!!!!
  • Definitely a wise move minimizing any further vehicle expenses as long as you have some other good options to keep your business model active. The dump trailer is a great option. Thanks for the video.
  • @X-American
    I love hearing your thoughts and opinions on the State of things. You are a clear, level headed guy and never get deep into nonsense, just straightforward and factual. Just stating the obvious. If you deliver up here in Austintown Ohio I'd buy firewood from ya. You could drop it right here at Cowman Ranch, that's my small farm up here. We are a bobcat farm tho, aka the good brand. 🤣 🤣 Good stuff.
  • @jeffpeters1014
    You’re on the right track. We need to hold tight and maximize our resources. This will pass eventually- good or bad. Take a look at fixing Blueford up to either use or move on to the next person. You could put power steering and higher sides on the Highboy. There’s a lot of options available with your fleet!
  • @Tdale85
    Good Saturday morning Morgan family! Beautiful morning here in SE PA. Morning full of kids’ sports followed by some projects this afternoon. (Hopefully) Have a great weekend.
  • Good morning,Mike and family!! You are spot-on with your observations.Current conditions only reinforce my longstanding view that our system is too broken to fix.
  • @toddpacheco4748
    Mike,another excellent video and can’t wait for Melissa to show how to make those subs she had my mouth watering when she was describing it 👍😮😊❤
  • @markreep7841
    Most of us don't need to look anything up; fuel and food prices alone tell us all we need to know. Challenging, concerning time. Agreed about white oak, Mike. Best firewood we have up our way as well. Takes longer to dry than some, but on a cold night, you can't beat it. Much respect for you guys' work ethic, and thank you for the great videos.
  • @mcd5082
    Your gut feeling about things not going well is spot on. I have been saving like crazy the many years to take advantage of when things become panic sold and more attractively priced. Stock up and be prepared to take advantage of the opportunity.
  • @TODinWY
    Melissa's hoagie recipe sounds like an air fryer delight. As far as current events go, some people have trouble "seeing" what they see. That's unfortunate.
