- What started out as a beautiful morning turned bad in an instant when I witnessed a bad accident right it front of me. Then the guy tried to leave the scene. The Good news is I was able to deliver some fine lumber to the park and got some work done on the landscaping at the new building

Mike, Glad you were there to witness the crash and point out the impaired driver to the responding officers! We LEO’s appreciate the publics participation in public safety incidents (as witnesses) and their backing us up. God bless from Idaho!
Stay safe out there, Ben. Lots of loonies everywhere!!
One never knows when life is up! 20 years ago today no one knew it was the last day of life. Make peace with your Maker and live loving one another! Looking forward to how that birch will look! I’m glad you are ok and safe!
GREAT JOB MIKE! Not surprising Mike was willing to help as needed and safely but persistently followed the subject until law enforcement arrived. Mr. Morgan chose the RIGHT THING TO DO!!!! He also had a video of the behavior of the subject who was operating the vehicle. That will help in prosecution, should that be something that is still done in PA. Keep it up Morgan family!!!
I'm certain Mike was well protected in his pursuit! The crack head would have had at least a nice limp to remember Mike by if he wigged out...
@@KenJ-61 and why do you say that?
Make Birch kitchen cabinets
If you're installing a wood panel wall, birch makes a good accent border or inlay. My Granddad use to make furniture using oak and birch. Have a day as we remember the victims and families of 911.
After 32 years in the fire and EMS business I have to agree with Mr. Mike, seen way to many bad things from people that are impaired, driving or not. Thank you for taking the time to assist the first responders and for keeping yourself safe.
I spent almost 28 yrs. dealing with vermin like that. I don't miss going to a home at three in the morning to tell a family that a son, daughter, father or mother won't be coming home due to a bad decision on someone's part. Thank you for stopping to see if you could render assistance Mike. In this day of "get the video" it's nice to see someone that will help.
The root system on those birch trees make a lot of people cut them down just to get rid of the roots so they can mow. Beautiful white wood with brown streaks or flecks. Love the smell while sanding in the shop. I have mostly yellow “river” birch. Birch is a medium hard hardwood. Easy to cut on the mill. Easy to work in the shop. Baltic birch plywood is made of birch. All of the plies are birch. I love Baltic birch. Birch was going up in price about 15 yrs back. The hardwood suppliers were selling beech instead because it was cheap and stains out similar. Birch is great cabinet making wood because it match birch plywood of course.
I was wondering whatever happened to that Oak. Can’t wait to see the final product. Glad you are ok and able to help at the accident. Crazy how fast a day can change.
Thank goodness you were not in that crash. People are crazy nowadays. We had a similar issue with a young man on our private property. He had multiple calls on him through out the town. He ended up on our property and crashed into our power supply pole killing our power and destroying his girlfriends vehicle. Police had him down in front yard at gun point. His 3 yr old son crying in front seat with no child car seat or seat
belt being used. He was arrested for property destruction and endangerment to the public.
We never found out why this person was acting crazy. Our driveway gate was open, middle of the day on a Sunday. Unreal! Thanks for your videos - awesome content on your property, shop, equipment, family. So good. Brings a breath of fresh air to my day to watch your videos. Also, watching videos with the concrete
crew you use, at their you tube channel!😀🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing your day and being a good citizen. Nice to see someone building when so many only want to tear down...
Helpful tip: Try adding a yellow (or your choice of color) vertical stripe on the inside walls of the trailer bed to indicate center of axle(s). They are helpful to balance your load at a glance.
Hello Mike and Outdoors with the Morgans (found you via Concrete with the Hauses! I know you got Tom going with his channel! 👍) You are NOT kidding when you say things can change in a minute! While driving my husband out of the parking lot after having eye surgery (he's in the passenger seat with his right eye patched) when, while making a legal left turn, we were (my husband's side!) crashed into two times by a car which then took off! My husband yells "follow them!" which I did for a few blocks into a driveway (I believe they switched drivers -- one apparently was an illegal) A bit of shenanigans with insurance and getting car repaired but all was okay than God! It could have been much worse but you are so right about things changing so rapidly! Happy to be a new subscriber!
richard here . . Mike you have a guardian angel looking over your shoulder. stay safe and have a blessed day one and all
Thank god you're safe to bad that has to ever happen. Stay safe thanks for your videos.
Good job Mike….
Birch is a beautiful wood, the heartwood has a warm reddish look. Our kitchen cabinets are made with red Birch.
You haven't lived until you have fought with a naked man high on drugs. Hats off to my brothers and sisters in law enforcement having to deal with these type people on a daily basis. Unfortunately he probally won't do jail time. Incidents like those are way too common with the lack of accountability these days. Glad no one was hurt.
Yup, had one hit my neighbor's parked car a few years back. He had some sort of girls crop top on and nothing else. He got out and tried to run from the cops when they arrived. Once they got the cuffs on they wrapped him in a blanket and took him away. He was out three days later. No insurance. No one to sue. They were just out a car since they only had liability on it. Sucks to live around junkies and meth heads.
Glad you’re safe as well as the school kids.
Man I'm glad everyone is ok. I could tell in the clip when everyone is trying to get the guy to sit down that he was drunk or on something. I'm right there with you on not having any patience or sympathy for people like him.
When I was in construction, we used birch wood paneling and solid stock in some trim. Built a grandfather's clock out of birch wood. I'm sure there's a lot of skilled wood workers that can share many other applications. Will be interesting to see how you use it. Success brother. 👍💪
Thank God you are safe Mike! It can all be over just that fast. Now I can take a deep breath, wow.
Thank you for being a responsible citizen in your reaction to that incident, Mike. You set an example for us all to follow. You didn't take on the role of law enforcement, but you made their job easier.
You might think about stripping the bark of that birch log to go as fire starter packs for some of your campfire-type bundles.
Good morning from Upstate South Carolina. Stay safe out there. Have a productive day.
Please everyone, take a moment and say a prayer for all the families who lost someone in the terrorist attacks that took place 20yrs ago today. Their lives were changed forever.
Yes a bit “cray-cray”, but appreciate that our police officers experience this crap daily and get “abused” for trying their best to do a very difficult job! I couldn’t do their job as I would shoot first and ask questions later……like you, zero patience for this type of irresponsibility. Thx for sharing.
Ditto
Typical, US police, shoot first ask questions later. Do you know if the guy had a medical episode? Do you know if he was impaired through drink or drugs? Do you know if the accident made the chap a bit loopy. Do you know if the low sun caused the guy to get blinded.?You know nothing, you have the IQ of a typical US sheriff deputy. People like you should keep schtum until you find out what really happened before you draw your gun………..after all one of these scenarios could happen to you and yours.
@@Bo88y22 one more piece of crap who likes to hear himself talk,
@@Bo88y22 now explain the tries to break into a house part (my popcorn is ready) you sound like a typical democrat
@@heaven-is-real I shall type this slowly for the hard of thinking. I…f the guy had a MEDICAL condition……. exacerbated by the crash……..people can do unexpected things. How’s that for a scenario for you?? Or just get your gun out and be done with it eh? BTW I am no Democrat. I am not even American. Let’s just say I’m from the old country.
Glad everyone was OK I am up in the UP of Michigan by the Mackinac Bridge watches all types of tractors cross what a day
Driving a school bus for several years, you see crazy things like this, all the time. I even have had a sleepy semi truck driver cross the line on a slight curve and took out my bus mirror on the left side with his mirror. Bus body was okay and thankfully no students were on board yet. 🙏
Nice white birch log. My parents have a bin with nice 3"-4" round white birch logs by the fireplace for 50+ years now.
Ah, PA. so beautiful there, especially the turnpike.🌲🌲🌲
Good morning from Colorado!! Tell the family hi!
Good morning everyone. 67º in Kansas City. What is on the agenda for this Saturday? Stay safe, be humble & kind and have a day.
Good morning Phil
Morning Phil, 64Deg here on the Rouge Valley east side of Toronto, always great to watch a Mike and Melissa video.
Good morning Phil :-)
@@badcat4707 Farm and Hvac, Phil, Michael,
65° here Skeeters still bad no plans today.
Whatever happens.
We’ve had several smaller dead birch in our woods. Smells great burning. At our office we have lots of birch accents. Very light and beautiful grain.
Hi Mike I’m bob I live on the lower eastern shore of Maryland regarding the birch log years back we use a lot of birch plywood to make cabinets for kitchens with a natural finish they were beautiful and a lot of homes had them it was also used as natural finished trim n some high end furniture.keep up the great work love your channel
Just glad you were not any more involved. And also glad to see that you tried to help.
Glad you are okay, Mike. It is amazing how 5 seconds can make such a huge difference.
Good morning Morgan family ☕️ Happy Saturday… crazy situation there…be safe, have a blessed day
God Bless You Mike!! Life happens so quickly!! That is a beautiful park and I hope that birch log is a Beauty on the mill!! Have a wonderful weekend!! 😎
It was sad to hear and see the accident. Glad you were not injured or involved in the accident. You did your duty in assisting and Im sure the local police were glad someone was on top of the incident.
The birch is a pretty wood over the Tennessee way. Usually used for furniture.
I think you got it right on the money about your grass. The extra top soil will help.
Keep them videos coming. Love them.
What a beautiful park. I was a volunteer fireman for close to 20 years and we seen guys and gals like that alot it is always good when nobody is was hurt.
It's amazing how things work out Mike your timing and no kids around in a way he should be counting his lucky star that jail for a few days and an empty wallet is about all he'll receive. We just never know what each day has in store for us. That park looks like a very nice place to bring your family and friends to and nice to see It's being maintained especially when municipalities don't always have a bunch of money to spend toward these kind of projects. Good time to get the ground ready for grass that's what I'm about to do I'm getting ready to aerate my front yard especially before the leaves fall it won't be long. I love fall but despise winter but if it wasn't for winter we couldn't appreciate spring and that works for me. Be careful and stay safe both you and your wife.
I was curious about the 3” timber project. Figured - until now - that I had just missed it!
Birch is great for furniture. I've made several pieces including a Thos. Moser seven drawer dresser. Has nice grain pattern and takes stain well. My Dad uses it to make all sorts of intricate things with the scroll saw.
I have a woods full of birch. Mostly use it for firewood and chaga. It is a nice light dense wood used for trim and veneer for doors and cabinets.
Never a dull moment with Mike Morgan!! Fo Sho! God bless!
What a crazy thing to run in to on your way home! Glad no one was really hurt! Can’t wait to see that birch on the mill!
"I can drive better when I'm drinking... I'm more cautious." Heard that one a few times.
Birch is easy to work with & you can use it for anything. Glad that you weren’t in a wreck
Zelienople is a cute little town. We are up in Oil City. Ever been up there? Glad you were not in the accident. I agree and don't understand what goes through peoples minds when they are under the influence. Glad no one was hurt and hope that driver is put away for awhile and gets the help he needs.
Birch makes beautiful, very hard, very blonde lumber. It's a mainstay in Scandinavian style floors, trim, and furniture.
Watching this video with the pallet forks reminds me, I'll have a new attachment to learn here within the next couple weeks...finally had to call Messick's and order pallet forks from them since my dealer almost 2 months later is still playing we have no idea when we will get any game...yet it seems every other company out there can get pallet forks and other implements pretty easily. I went with the Titan compact tractor pallet forks, I think they weigh maybe 40 pounds more than the pallet forks built for the BX, but for what I will be doing with them I'll never notice the weight difference.
The hardest thing for me learning is how far that loader bucket really sticks out there in front of the tractor. Then trying to make sure the bucket is level when going into a pile of debris....I should have got the bucket level indicator rod I guess because once that bucket is down below the hood of the tractor I really can't see if its level or not. Pallet forks I'm guessing will be even worse trying to get the hang of without that level rod...guess I should get one ordered....from Messick's of course, can't get my dealer to get anything right.
Birch it real nice for woodturning. I’ve sawn small logs into boards and made small boxes out of them. It can have some really nice grain depending on the log
Mike, could I suggest that you could plant wheat on your weak spot beside the shop? If so, sow it really thick and it's about that time of year up there. Here in North Alabama I have to wait 2 or 3 more weeks. Next spring I let mine get pretty tall then disc or till the wheat in. It will help build up the soil. Then plant your grass seed or lay sod. Good video! I'm glad you were not in the wreck. Hey, if you have already planted grass seed you can just sow wheat seed on top of the ground and it should come right up. Then mulch up the wheat next spring.
Birch makes beautiful lumber. Many cabinet-makers choice. Lots of color variation. Cheers
Baltic birch is used in cabinet and furniture making. It is used in turning in Northern Europe.
Glad you were there and able to lend a hand. Birch's tight grain and hardness makes it great for cutting and charcuterie boards. I have. Never turned it but it would probably turn well.
I've worked with birch to make furniture and wood items and it is nice to work with.
I have made 5 bed frames with headboards from PaperBirch. It is a very nice soft wood to work with, machines well.
That’s a close call Mike. Glad you got out of there okay. Thanks for sharing with us. Hope there’s no problems, you did the right thing and that’s what it takes to keep this Country of ours operating on the up and up. Stay safe and keep up the good work and videos. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
Birch is a great soft wood for cabinets and wood working. Is lite in color to a slite redis cast.
Good Morning Mike and the Morgan family... I did a hunting camp's end wall (vaulted ceiling) with 1" by 6" birch, herring bone pattern.. It came out very very nice.. Turned into the trophy wall..
Nice
The stone yard has a great set up for storeage of stone and dirt. As much as you work with this material at the homestead, you might consider a like setup. You tend to move your stone and dirt multiple times. This would come in handy instead of moving, dumping, moving again etc. And you might be able to store up enough material to cut down on the trips or having so many loads delivered. Just a thought.
What a nice little park they have there. Very glad no one was hunt in the accident. I don't care what anyone says, being a police officer is a very tough job. A job that I would not want but I'm very glad there are people who do. Hope once the park people use those boards you'll be able to show us what they did and how it looks. Thanks for sharing.
My Grandfather made cabinets from birch. It's nice straight grained pale wood.
Now that is just crazy happening in the morning. I used birch quite a bit doing wood turning. It is a nice wood that is soft and doesn’t tear up the tools and if the log is really good it might have some good grain patterns.
I echo your sentiments on drunken or drugged driving. Glad no one was hurt badly. I wonder if you could mill the birch into a usable accent for you Game Room as a part of your history in growing up in that park.
Birch is one of our native woods ( Nova Scotia) that burn in a fireplace as well green as it does dried.
Glad the guy didn't run into you Mike. You are correct, it's a crazy world out there! Stay safe my friend.
What a beautiful park . So glad you are ok. It is good that you followed the guy.
It does make beautiful furniture and kitchen cabinets.
That's crazy, I drive there all the time. Glad you are ok, glad they arrested him too. Stay safe!
I injoy watching you drive that equipment of urs around ur house you do it pretty smooth
I think you’ll like that white birch, although the limb on that top end may limit the length of good boards. While birch is very common around my areas of Ontario, and many other parts of Canada for that matter. It’s nice wood for woodworking and also has a good heat value as firewood - about the same as cherry.
Here in Bavaria, we only use birch as firewood since i can think of. It smells fantastic, has a good heat value and works great when you have an open fireplace, because it doesn´t shoot sparks.
I hope my english isn´t too bad, and you understand what i mean.
Glad you were okay, Mike, and certainly grateful that no innocent people were injured, particularly children. I continually am amazed at how upset people get about the whole firearm thing, when one of the most dangerous weapons that any given person has at their fingertips is a motor vehicle and their own impairment. 🙏
Yes agreed, that is why every army in the modern world goes to war in a car!!! Driving around mowing down bystanders without even having a license ( permit )
Yeah take away weapons from law abiding Americans and use our tax dollars to leave assault weapons in the hands now of the people who were instrumental in the 911 attacks
@@petermavus4131 What madness have i waled into??
"use our tax dollars to leave assault weapons in the hands now of the people who were instrumental in the 911 attacks"
What tax has left weapons in the hands on 9/11 attackers? You actually think tax is at fault?? I think it is more likely your lack of understanding of the English language. lol at what you just typed,, You are a moron sir!

I'm glad you were not involved in the accident. A few days ago I remembered when you got the red oak from the park. I was going to ask whatever happened to it. It is good to see that it will be used in the park project.
Glad your safe. Glad you helped. Thanks again.
Thanks for helping at the accident. Hopefully everyone will be ok and get the treatment and jail time they need.
That is a good size for a birch. They have a tendencies to rot when they get that size . Here they are our hardwood. Probably the best smelling fire wood of all . The lumber is also beautiful but not that big. Cut the slabs you cut off for firewood. You will enjoy it. Birch bark is one of the best fire starters ,ever. Thanks for sharing.
Good job Mike!
Most people would have used their phone to video the incident instead of calling for help.
Proud of you dude!!!
And we wonder why we have to do drug testing for people that drive for a living. After 50 years in the transportation business, I have no tolerance for people that do drugs.
I agree with your sentiments, but are you sure this is the case here?
@@Bo88y22 Just relying on what Mike observed. In my years of transportation I have seen too many of these types of accidents which were caused by strung out drivers that should have never been allowed to drive anywhere with anything.
@@Bo88y22 yes I hope it wasn't a medical emergency and people treated him like a drunk. I have seen diabetic episodes that you would think the person was on drugs totally unaware of what was going on.
This may be hard to believe for some,but my experience with emergency services has led to a conclusion. 20-25% of people on road should not be issued a driver's license. I have heard stories, excuses etc that are so far fetched on wreck scenes I wondered why even tell me that.
Or drink. I don't do anything any more and I'm only 41 lol.
Brich is a beautiful wood it big in turning on a wood lathe but makes awesome boards too you will like it I will be curious to see it when you saw it out one thing saw it soon birch will rot fast
Good morning from East Tennessee. Sun is shining going to be a nice day.
💥 A nice peaceful tour of the park to a chaotic crazy person! Tractor therapy always helps. 😁👍
*Keep on tractoring!* #ARITTERBITWILLDO
I know right?
Saw into live edge slabs for decorative tables for under the overhang of the barn
Excellent video shot when you took out the tree from the trailer. From New Fairfield CT
Hi Melissa and Mike, Dennis here from Filer, Idaho to watch another show. I really enjoy your channel. Thank you
Great Job Mike! We need more people in this world like you!!!!
I use white birch for firewood here . I've found that it doesn't deteriorate as fast if you debark it soon after it's cut down
Birch makes real nice wood for woodwork it will bend and twist quite bad as it dries so be aware. Keep up the great work
Being a longtime woodworker I’ve used Birch on furniture and cabinets. Birch is similar to Maple being a closed grain appearing hardwood. Both Birch and Maple can be a challenge to plain due to the irregular structure.
Sawed a few white birch very easy to saw very large grain and very wet. Twist very bad if left out in the weather isn’t a very hard wood I usually made pallets out of it have a great day buddy
Excellence is what we strive for...this man is humble..you did well with this video Mike...
Keep The Faith

Had a tree frog save us from a similar wreck years ago. Someone drove through a red light going 50+ mph.
Wife had a tree frog jump on her from inside the car a second before so I didn't take off on the green light right away.
I told her take good care of that frog, it just saved our life!
Watching you get a couple of scoops of Top Soil in your trailer reminded me of myself. In 2007 I purchased a 2007 GMC Sierra 2500 and had a lumber rack put on the back. While doing some yard work I had an idea of putting in some raised gardens and thought I would use my new truck to go get the dirt. The yard where I picked up the dirt had a little shop in the front that sold tools so I parked the truck where the loader could easily get to the bed. After walking around the store for a few minutes a young man came in and said he had an accident with my truck. When I walked out I was furious. He hadn't hit the truck but had lowered the bucket of the loader down on the lumber rack and drove the thing right into the bed of the truck destroying it. He said he was sorry and he thought he would be OK he had loaded a pickup once before. I remember asking him not to hit my new truck and to dump the dirt slowly just in case their was a problem. Never did I think he would set the bucket down on the lumber rack so hard he would drive it into both sides of the bed. It never fails if you buy something nice it doesn't take long before someone scratches it or like my first truck at 18 totals it (an older brother). I learned my lesson about loaning tools and vehicles to family. The Chevy C10 I purchased at 18, cost me $8000 and was used with 125 miles on it. I owned it for just 2 years.
Good morning everyone.
Mike,
👍
Glad you avoided the wreck. I be liking me some top soil as well!
Glad you made it home safe. Where I grew up, there was birch everywhere. It was used mostly for making veneer and top sheets for (very) expensive plywood. If the birch in your area is anything like that, it will be a gorgeous light color and lovely tight grain. Think about what you want to do with it. It could be something special.
That Burch will be beautiful. Aught to make something from it. Maybe a bench.
Hi Mike you had a very lucky escape you done a good job you know exactly what to do nice video
Love the opening sequence. Top notch editing!
I am glad you were mot in that intersection! That is similar to the situation that brought me to watching you do firework instead of doing it myself. A person ran a stop sign and struck us and threw us into oncoming traffic where we were hit again. Count your blessings every day.
Birch makes really good cabinet wood. Especially with a natural finish...
