Thank you so much, Mike, for updating us. It's great to see you again, and please know that you have a tremendous amount of support within your "RUclips" family!!!
Mike, man praise God that you posted a video. My wife and I have been wondering how you have been. I pray you find the motivation and inspiration to continue to make content for RUclips. Change is never easy, but we are glad to know that you are well. We cannot wait to see what your future you create on this channel.
@@BeyondtheRanch Bravo Mike! We have missed you! Can't wait to see what's new with you! Until your next video ~~~ Stay safe, healthy, warm and happy! 👍👍
Was ready to have a well check on you. My first thoughts he's still alive. When I opened up my phone and there you were,,I sat there minute. So glad to see you. YES I'm ready for the journey.
Mike!! I’ve missed you so much you were part of my daily routine it took me a while to get used to you not being there! I loved watching you with the cows & pulling out calf’s! ❤❤❤
Imagine how he feels when he had to up root his life. You’re worried about your RUclips content. Way to make it all about you, and not the man whose life has been flipped upside down. Kick rocks
Mike, I have hunted for you. Last night Our Wyoming Life popped up and I was shocked by not seeing you there. So, I just now found you, subscribed and looking forward to your new channel.😊
Mike, I'm happy you're turning the page. The Banks Family has been with you since the beginning. Life is very challenging for all of us, but life goes on but will never be the same... We lost our oldest son to epilepsy. We both learned a lot about ranching from your videos. Like your self life will never be the same going forward ✨️ but we move on 😢but never forget. Mike, good luck to you, and once again, we are here to learn from you going forward. One thing I have been wondering 🤔 about did you ever think about working on a corporate ranch as a leader and employee?
Cant express how happy I am to see you back on "Beyond the Ranch". You have truly been missed. I'm ready to go this adventure with you Mike...Welcome Home. ❤🙏
You are a very nice man Mike and I'm sorry that life has changed for you, it's difficult and really there are no winners, God bless you and your family and may you find a new path in life, one that makes you happy and content 😊
Happy to see you back. So, lots of changes, challenges etc. I'm in. Where to? And if you ever decide to own another ranch, I sure hope it's somewhere where there's rain, and water. But, whatever you do, thanks for inviting us to go along.
Merry Christmas, Mike!! We missed you and have been praying things are good as you go through this transition. We met you on the ranch and appreciate you! Just know that you are not alone and that we are with you. Stay in touch; let us support and help you! Need resources? Ask us! Need ideas? Ask us! Let's do life....... beyond the ranch!!
AWESOME to see you again! I hope you and your sweet kids are doing well. Looking forward to seeing the adventures you go on, and take us with you! May this New Year bring you many new blessings!
We have missed you so much! You have been in our prayers since your last video because we could sense your struggle with a major life change. We have been there too so we get it! Looking forward is the best way to cope. Sounds like we are in for some great content on your channel and we will be here with you and for you in the future. Blessings during this wonderful Christmas season and into 2025! Joe & Hilda South Texas
So good to see you Mike, to you and yours have a very Merry Christmas and an amazingly wonderful, happy and healthy New Year, look forward to seeing you in 2025!
@@shirleyrazey9595 If it werent for everyone ( family ) on the ranch... the channel would have never made it ! " MY " Wyoming life includes everyone on the ranch. Not just Mike !
@@shirleyrazey9595 Yes you are correct ! He ( Mike ) was the main face we seen most days.....of which all stemmed from a " family " With out the family / his family.. the ranch videos may have never happened ! Mike and the family were and are blessed with a great life style. And that " life " / ' style " continues today ! The public was and is blessed to be a part of that ranch experience ! Just some basic changes.
You are a fantastic person Mike and everything you did at the ranch you did so doing everything possible. You went above and beyond everything you did that’s why the animals were so happy to see you and you kept it alive during the hardest time when there was the droughts, the fact that you picked yourself up by your boot straps and got your life in order as a single man is Testament to your intelligence and drive. Too many people use divorces excuse to sit there and sulk you went out and bought the house and got a great job. Your kids are blessed to have you as a father and a role model.
Mike, Mike Mike. I am so glad to see you. Dude you are the very first RUclips channel I watched. Fell in love with your whole story. You are the channel. I naught gator because of your channel. I have animals because of your channel. You are the man. Stay with us we are here to support your no matter what life events have taken. Please continue and if cows aren’t in your future then show us what is. But I’m gonna let you know bud! You’re a rancher, you are so meant for that life. Love ya brother. Semper aFi
You got this brother. You are one strong guy and will do great. Thanks for sharing your story. It has inspired a lot of people to look at their lives and what can be.
Glad you're back! Don't even watch Wyoming Life anymore. You made it exciting and interesting. It's just Not that any more. But moving on, I'm glad You are here now and can't wait to see what you bring to your channel.
Dear mike nice to see and looking well, this August I lost my son age 51 ,heart attack no warning ,We all are living different lives, but Mike seeing you makes me smile can't wait to see what's next merry Christmas
Glad you are back! While you were away I started my new adventure roaming in my ambulance converted into a motorhome. I went to Idaho, Montana, Wyoming and beyond. I did something I vowed to do and harvest hosted on the ranch for two days and bought and cooked and ate a tasty steak right there with deliciou baby potatos grown there too! Too cold for complete tour but just sitting by my big window watching the cows horses and wildlife moving around the pasture was a very pleasrnt experience. I did miss you being there. Went through Yellowstone 3 times looking for buffalo but no luck this year. On to Colorado then Utah to see them while camping on Antelope Island by Salt Lake. Beautiful travels through there before enjoying northern New Mexico and then Texas. Settling here by my daughter as a homebase but I already miss those places Ive been and in Spring cant wait to wander back through. Having to become basically a nomad at 69 has been alittle scary, a little lonely, but so peaceful too and Im getting used to it and am so grateful Ive been able to see parts of this country I never thought I would. Ive settled into the routine of moving around all the time and good places to go. While getting lots of moving paperwork done in Texas Ive had to adjust to Urban stealh overnighting with occassional motels and visits with family tho parking there not possible. Its more stressful at times and I miss the beauty and sounds of nature out in the country. Ive seen in the ranch and farmland the houses being built where cattle used to graze and it makes me sad as the beauriful landscape they built their houses to be surrounded by just being eaten away by more houses by wannabes who never will be. Ive had to learn to accept that despite the fact Im clean, quiet, and dont beg or bother anyone, and spend money in towns I stay by Im still looked at like a vagrant because I cant afford the rising costs of rv parks and more campgrounds raising prices. There are so many older men and alot of women my age who have fallen on hard times and their van or car or converted ambo in my case is all we have. Its what is keeping us off the streets. Yes there are those who are messy and stay too long but many of us just want to travel and try to have some kind of meaningful peaceful life in our last years despite hardships. Many just want a quiet safe place to overnight and be on our way the next day. We are self contained and dont need fancy hookups or pools and recrooms we will never go in. Just a safe place to sleep then move on. Not all boondocking or campgrounds are accessible to lower to the ground rigs. Its been a real eyeopener for the plight of the homeless. But to many their only solution is to warehouse them stuffed together in buildings where the addicts, theives, and dangerous are right nextdoor to you making you stressed and scare. I'd rather be in my rig traveling seeing the country and meeting people. It's my safe little castle. My extremely fixed budget really makes it the only way to still have some kind of life after losing everything. Its not easy but it has a peace to it despite the stress of wondering if you will be welcome in the next town. I found Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and N. New Mexico and the smaller towns in Texas pretty darn welcoming. I cant wait to get back up there in Spring. I want to see my rig surrounded by buffalo in Yellowstone at least once! And of course snag another fantastic steak from the Ranch while I watch the deer and antelope play with the horses and cows there! So I fully understand life doesnt always go the way we expected it to sometimes. Its not what had planned for this time in my life but for now I can find some good things about it and have experiences to cherish and learn from too.
Great to see and hear you again Mike. You’ve been missed!
Merry Christmas, Mike.
