52, medically retired. I try to be prepared for common, and uncommon circumstances. Months of food stores for my entire family. Medical supplies for most everything. And, what I consider most important, defensive capabilities, to protect my property and family. Several small in hand protection devices, and, several long range defensive devices. Along with several thousand interior pieces for each device. And most importantly, a place to coexist in the woods away from potential takers, or wrong doers. Not a prepper, just prepared for almost anything. Better to have and not need, than need and not have, is my philosophy.
I'm not sure what you actually have room for yet but there is a few items I always put in my vehicle. Number one is an extra heavy duty jumper cable. Item number 2 is a breaker bar with the correct sockets for the truck or any trailers that you are pulling to remove the wheels. Number three is a small floor jack with some wood planking to either put under the jack in case you're in a muddy situation or crib up enough to get the wheel off. The fourth item is all fluids that your vehicle might need. Coolant. engine oil, brake fluid, transmission and power steering fluid. And you've already covered number 5 it's just a basic tool set to make minor repairs.
6.) A 5 gallon container of water and a large roll of 3M Duct tape.
7.) Emergency rations in case you are stranded for a while.
8.) In winter, a sleeping bag inside of a trash bag. A flight suit or snowmobile suit.
Mike - that's a solid kit for the truck. I would recommend taking that tow strap bag and put your ratchet straps in it. I do that with one of the Dewalt tool bags I've collected over the years. Keeps them together and if one of the straps becomes unraveled, at least it's contained. Plus you can pull them all out at once to use or set aside as you get other items out...
I use a small tool bag for ratchet straps, and I keep singles in baggies inside it.
I use an ammunition bucket for my ratchet straps. Works great!
"Just a cabin" LOL! I said that too....now I'm here every moment possible. It's not a "cabin" anymore, its my home!; Get it done and start staying and you do not want to leave!
Much respect to all of you who plan ahead and are prepared. That is the American spirit!
They’re not on 12 inch centers there around 16
As a 71 year old, I have finally decided to go to solar power with a diesel backup system. This system is infinitely expandable. I'm still learning. This is on a 65 acre former horse farm with plenty o open space for fruits and vegetables watered by solar power on a drip system. We have plenty of spring fed water year around and huge barn for storage. We have blueberries, blackberries and muscadines so far. Vegetables and chickens are coming soon. Good morning from Pine Mountain, Ga. Home of Callaway Gardens and FDR State Park, the largest in Georgia.
Excellent! Your location gives you such an advantage with the longer growing season! Love that you can protect against dry conditions with a self sustaining system. Just from a prepper perspective the Anker solix system Mike was plugging here would be a more permanent backup just in case diesel ever becomes unavailable.
@billdillon3886, Callaway Gardens is heaven on earth. We stayed in their cabins & golfed there for two weeks 30 years ago, with no phones. Could feed the birds from our porch. I'm 91 & just lost my twin brother, lots of good times together.
Thanks for your comment & a reminder life is good.
Mike, think about 7/8 , before hanging the boards run 1side through a planer for smoothness
@@chris3m98 I'm impressed with your zest for life. Callaway is a gem. The azaleas are gorgeous in the spring. The golf courses are world class. Keep keeping on Chris. I'm sorry for the loss of your twin brother. My four siblings are gone, but the kids keep me going
❤
Mike,
Really think nominal 3/4" rough cut thickness would be way more than adequate. You'll get more boards, less weight and faster drying. All the best!
Depends what your using it for, if you plan on using for wood working 1inch or 4quarter is better for milling down to right thickness
I did exactly what you are saying 2 years ago to our cabin room. The black felt paper works very well. I used 5/8 inch and run one side through the plainer one time. Than I used a rounded end rotor bit and did the edges. I used 1 coat of oil base poly and I will tell you it really come out nice. We liked it so much I did the inside of my garage also. I had very minimum shrinkage. One time through the plainer made the poly going on alot easier. We tried both ways. Not much time involved in the extra steps but well worth it. Good luck
I was thinking along the same lines or run them through a drum sander. If he could find a local woodworking shop that would be able to run them through the shaper for a tongue and groove he could skip the use of the roofing felt and have a better seal of the boards to each other.
Full backup power off inverter/generator. 25 year storable food. Med supplies. Tool kits/roadside emergency equipment for all vehicles in household. Process setup for all my wild game harvested. Extra diesel and gas storage devices. MANY BOOM STICKS with MANY MANY PROJECTILES!👍👍
Mike, I live in the US Virgin Islands. I'm from NE Ohio but have lived on the island of St Thomas for 18 years working in the luxury hospitality business. In 2017 we experienced two cat 5 storms Irma and Maria. This year we are forecasted for a worse hurricane season. In 2017 80% of the buildings were damaged or destroyed. We were without power from September to January. I'm preparing for that situation. Every year due to sea temperature rising the storms get worse. Irma was the most powerful storm ever recorded in the open Atlantic. Unlike storms that hits the US, we can't drive away. We rely on the airport which was destroyed. No food or fuel for weeks. Cell towers destroyed, no WiFi for months. Yea, that's what I'm getting ready for.
I hate to admit it but I’ve gone down way to many rabbit holes this year and the list of what to prepare for is a mile long. I’ve listened to every Jonathon Hollerman book on audible and now my wish list is a mile long. I feel pretty comfortable saying I’ve got our family in a position to last close to 60 days or so if something major went down. My goal at this point is to be good for a year. Just takes time and discipline. Food stores, grid down supplies, infrastructure on our farm , guns/ammo, and most importantly knowledge of how my great great grandparents did it back in the day are at front of mind for me right now.
Mr. Morgan, Pick up a couple of the soft shackles to go along with your tow rope.
Yes Mike, I have started preparations. I have changed jobs to a remote position so that I can be mobile and work from wherever I have internet. I also have a solar setup I will be installing at our secondary secluded living site. I am hoping we have years before the truly hard times show up, but you have to prepare ahead of time to be in time. With all the doom and gloom, I don't think we will have a sudden plunge into darkness, but the slow and steady decline we have already been in will just keep angling downward. I hope for my grandchildren's sake we can turn this thing around, but I'm sure there will have to be major pain involved for all of us in the doing.
greetings mr. mike; once again, i am with you all the way! i had all the supplies i needed in my truck once except the chain saw. i thoroughly enjoy your channel and love the "tongue in cheek" comments you offer at times. thank you for the entertainment. you are absolutely correct about the men/father opinion. Scripture dictates that we are to care for the women in every aspect, no exclusions! the children are included with that by default. as southerners, we believe in putting ladies on a pedestal and take it from there..........g
Good Morning Morgan Family 🌞- Have a Wonderful and Blessed Day 🤠
Shiplap and tongue and groove planks also have a bevel to help hide expansion and contraction. The bevel further gives the surface corrector by breaking the wall up. Lastly, use an airtight barrier behind the wood if you’re going to have a gap. Air infiltration (even the smallest amount) will eventually leave dust/dirt marks where air is passing through the cracks.
This new video brought a smile to my face this morning. I needed that. Thank you , Mike. everyone have a blessed day!
Thank you for another excellent video and thank you for offering a variety of subjects.
always good to be prepared. God Bless
Good idea about the walls!
That's a nice looking backup power source. Nice video.
God bless the Morgan’s ! They are the best of my day 😊
Oh yes! Using your own pine wood for the cabin is a no-brainer. Works good, looks good, feels good. Love the bed cover and toolbox, loaded up perfectly! Really enjoyed the views of the badlands. Thank you, Mike, for sharing.👍🚜❤️🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸
your the man mike !!
Have a day.
Injoy this time of the year.
I have done a lot to be prepared primarily for hurricanes here in Florida. DIY solar powers the house (24/7) and charges the EV for transportation. A well (powered by solar) provides endless water. Septic for sewer. 500 gallons of propane for cooking and canning. 300 gallons of fuel for backup generators (diesel, gas and propane). A years supply of freeze dried food for short term issues and a garden for bigger problems. Canning, freeze drying and a freezer for food preservation. Cameras, proximity sensors and firearms for security. Funny thing is, I set most of this stuff up years ago and I don't really think about much anymore.
That bedcover is extremely nice. Looks very well built.
Truck and trailer looks nice and the cover to .😊
That Red pine will be beautiful.
Mike ,I think your plan on the cabin walls is spot on.
Great idea Mike for the interior of the cabin it will look awesome. Always smart to have the equipment in the truck .Thats a nice truck box cover you have there . Have a great day !
Excellent vid. and topic. I agree, it is our responsibility.
Good to be prepared. I always carry a small jump box with me also.
Love your channel. I would add a fire extinguisher , but you do you.
You could buy yourself a Dewalt 735 planer and surface one side of the red pine. I think you would like seeing the grain of the pine.
Yes it is a cabin .Good choice
Good morning Morgan family hope you are all fit and well, Mike leaving the board and sealing them would give the cabin character 👍
We always used to staple tar paper on the studs too before we nailed our rough sawn wood up , it looks fine when it dries out 👍
Something I used to always keep in all my trucks was spare fuel injectors and also spark plugs and a couple of fan belts and also a tire patch kit
I just bought one of those stall mats for my bed to reduce sliding on my plastic bed cover. It's worked well so far.
good job!
Sounds Like A Plan!! Like The Idea!! Very Nice Start To The items to carry in Truck!!
Keep Smiling On!!
😅👍👊❤️
Mike another excellent video 😮😊❤
I think that red pine would look really nice at the cabin, but I would use different widths; I know it would be more work, but it would look more rustic! Can't wait to see the cabin finished!
Happy Friday Morgan's. Preparing for the storm is a great title to this episode but a theme we should all consider. Couldn't agree more about the need and gut feeling that storms are coming. We plant more fruit trees every year, stay out of debt and try to have multiple streams of income. I like to keep 30 - 40 laying hens and keep a 6 months supply of food . Pew pews, ammo, and a small fuel supply and still looking into the portable and permanent battery power systems but that is next. Have a great weekend!
I was thinking of black roof paper as underlayment for your wood walls too. Definitely the right idea for wood that will still shrink a little.
Mike that’s always the best to be prepared. I like that bedcover and toolbox. For what it’s worth, I’m with these other guys on your board thickness. Myself I think that 3/4 “ thickness is perfect. You’ve got great ideas Mike. Take care and have a good one!👍❤️
Like that rear window protection.
I bought the same bed cover and had some custom AL bent to make some dividers in the front storage tray and bought and installed a rubber mat as well.
I did a similar way with the walls in my hamshack. Insulated it and then put a non woven black weed barrier and roughsawn cut-off cedar fence pickets horizontally on top. Looks great!
This time of year, preparing for hurricane season. Most of the prep is maintained all year long but there a few things that need annual attention to get ready. The pine will look great in the cabin. Look forward to seeing that shape up.
I like to be prepared for a lot.!! Working towards getting fully prepared for anything. I think teaching preparation would be a good sub topic for your videos. A lot of us don’t figure it out until we are older with families, bills etc. if I could go back in time simple decisions for the future would have been really helpful.
The pine is a great idea for the cabin def. A little thicker! I know you don’t want more work but a router table could increase the value rough cut ship lap or tung and groove would be beautiful. You inspire me every week. Thank you.🦾🧬☀️
That will work great for your walls. My neighbor put up barn wood in his basement and used the tar paper for back ground.
Mike your truck outfitting is looking good. I carry extra def fluid, soft shackles for the tow rope and even a come along. Winter time I carry a sleeping bag, wool blankets & your fire starter for emergencies if I were to get stranded on my way to the cabin. Just a few adders to what you are already carrying. God bless the Morgan family. Cheers from eastern PA
Hello Mike 👋,
Thats a good start for the easy access tool tray. Like a few others said run 1 side of the boards through a planer, if needed prior to installation you can also stain them.
Looking forward to seeing the next video.
I like how you plan. Your plan for the cabin is on target.oolimh forward to seeing the interior of it when it's done.😊
Hi Mike I think that is a great idea to use that pine for. My wife and I have a 20 acre woods and I utilize it from sawed timber, fire wood, and a food source. We’ve lived here 28 years with no regrets, we live or lives the way we want to !!
Sounds like a great plan. Will look as good as store bought. Black paper under it will work. I’ve done it.
Mike couple additional things I keep in my truck are a good belt knife and lite sticks.
A good way to get rid of some of your pine slabs. Include a few pieces in each wrapped firewood bundle. We call it tourist fire starter.
Mike, just remember the saying, "And this too shall pass." Just do what you can when you can. I use the off times to charge my batteries, foster personal relationships, plan for the future, and acquire materials for my next project. The personal relationships are perhaps the most important because you never know when they will be gone, even those that you think are the most secure. For me, I like doing things FOR others without any sort of remuneration.
Good morning Mike! Tar paper behind the boards is a great idea! I had the done the same thing with a ceiling in my attic. I used flat stock vs shiplap, at the time price for shiplap had almost tripled.
Mike, you can run your sander over the pine quickly before a clear coat just dull the rough cut a bit.
making boards...flies are getting bad..this is the way i got my tool box done..you should get a good 2 ton wheel jack at Menards,,one that will lift the truck off the ground..and a good 4 way tool..i had a smaller jack that just would not lift my truck high enough..i had a blowout on a exit to Cabelas,,,oh what a day.. Mike i think your saving tons of money cutting your own boards..im loving this heat..carry on my man..like the videos
Great wall lumber idea. Put a supply of fire starter in vehicle along with lighter or torch. A supply of snacks too.
Same in Wisconsin
GOOOOOD MAAAAAAAAWNIN EVERYONE & HAPPY TGIF TO ALL YOU M-F working folks…sounds like a great plan. Looking forward to watching yinz putting it all together
Have a day
HELLOOOO Hunter 😊
Howdy Jack!
@@johnsadler8637 How goes things John?
@@jacklachman5304 going well here. Grandkid pickup duty!
Goodmorning Morgan's from BUCKS COUNTY,PA have a day everyone.
Good morning y'all !!! Have a great day, it's FRIDAY !!!
Morning Mike, enjoyed your trip review.... did all of Route 66 a couple of years ago.... great time, wonderful scenery....
Pete 🇨🇦
Hi Pete!
Preparing for our first child in a few weeks!
Instead of tough and groove....Shiplap. It's a square rabbet on the long edges. Can account for shrinkage, with out worrying about exposure behind gaps. It's a bit of work but you could do it with a router or a router table. Can even set a jig up to used a dado on a table saw.
Just a thought. It will look amazing no matter how you install it.
Thanks for your time, always enjoy.
My thoughts exactly invest in a planer & router table & make what you want. Like the shiplap would leave room for drying shrinkage. He could also get all his luner together however many bored feet & get his buddy to kill dry it. Ultimately mikes gonna do what Mike wants to do & good for him.
Mike, sounds like a great idea using the red pine for the interior walls. One time I was looking at doing the same thing on some property I had but since sold. May I suggest after the boards have dried, do like you said with the insulation and barrier. Get a Planer to plan one side to get it smooth and all boards to the same thickness. After you have stained and sealed it, you can leave it as is or caulk the small gaps with a color to your liking to seal the whole wall completely.
Love the pine idea. I like to use multiple widths together; back in the day we installed a LOT of V-groove knotty pine and normally used 4", 6", and 8" together. It breaks up the monotony, if that makes sense.
I think your idea with the red pine in the cabin will look real nice
You can make your own shiplap with a router or table saw that way if it shrinks a little no big deal, just an idea for ya Mike! Looking forward to the cabin build, love that property! Hi Mellisa and Hunter! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
Great idea on the walls. A great look is using a Dewalt planer and “skip plane” the pine. One pass and will be very pretty. Also after too long trying to hold the chain saw and one hand filing, I would clamp the saw bar in my work bench vise ahead of the power head. Two hand filing goes three times as fast.
I always wound up packing my tool box with way more than I needed and never getting in it or digging forever to get what I need. When I bought my last truck I opted to change my ways and didn't put a tool box on it. I keep a small action packer in it with the essentials that can be put in the back floor board if the bed space is needed.
Good job mike small sledge hammer. West central missouri tornadoes a plenty just that time year.
We had a log cabin in upstate New York. There a couple of interior walls that were sheet rocked. We painted the sheet rock a very dark brown then put rough cut pine on a 45 degree angle nailed each on the studs. Looked really nice in the end. Never sealed any of the wood left it all natural.
Good Morning Morgans, think about giving the face side a light sanding with a palm sander and about 80 grit sand paper. I did some siding that way in my river cabin ( cypress wood), it cut down a little bit of the ruffness of the wood after it was sealed and made the siding easier to clean/dust.(ps, you are going to have a load of pollen every spring from those trees around your cabin)
When in Romney WV the Wild roots Café is a must on the to do list..
We prep for hurricanes where I live, mostly flooding and power outages. We aren't directly on the coast, so no surge problems, but the flood control system relies on everything draining into the Gulf. I have a generator, independent water filtering equipment, and will likely add a jon boat in the next phase of planning.
I like the plan but I would run it thru a plainer; I think y'all will be glad you did. And the width doesn't have to be the same, Might look good if it's not.
That Diamond Back cover is amazing and I honestly didn't think the lid was gonna close with the chainsaw handle sticking up but it cleared nicely. I'm amazed at how heavy duty that bed cover is. That Anker Solix system got me thinking. I was looking at the natural gas Generac systems but in our town they have a number of clearance restriction for windows and the side of the house installation. The Anker system would eliminate all of the space and clearance issues. Definitely something to consider. Those boards will be perfect for the cabin but maybe once you've installed them, hit them quickly with a Dewalt Cordless orbital sander. I'm talking just some light passes as I'm thinking it will make applying polly and cleaning a lot easier. Another great video. Have a great weekend ... :) you got me thinking.
Hay Mike crazy man from Montana good to see ur prepared the key to winning is preparing except the unexpected 🌲🌲🌲🌲👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁see ya crazy man from Montana
Good morning Morgan’s ☕️🦌
Good morning from Upstate South Carolina. Mike, I can't believe you didn't pressure wash that mat first. A VTOMAN combo jumper/inflator and a tire repair kit would be a good addition to the truck. Have a productive day.
Outdoor carpet works well in tool boxes
Thanks Mike. I keep a battery saw in the Truck/ATV.
If You bevel the Edges of the boards, You will still see wood in the Cracks before you see the Black behind them..
shabby sheek is IMO the best for most cabins. It makes the cabin feel warm & used just like home except smaller
Don't forget Duck Tape for your tool box! :-)
Add fire extinguisher and first aid kit!
don't forget to add chaps (in the woodyard learned how valuable they are) also be sure to stop and see Josh and Erin as they are open for business. Bakery looks awesome! Have a safe and relaxing trip to the cabin.. BE SURE TO BUY MORE SOAP LOL
We did the same thing...used tar paper behind old barn boards for a wall. Hid the gaps and empty knot holes.
Good morning Mike. Two things first it looks like your debarking blade isn’t in line with the blade (maybe it’s the camera angle) and second I put a tongue tool box on my trailer and it holds all the chains, binders, straps and tarps I use for anything I tow and it works out great because what I need is always there! Keep up the good work just a side note I think you should run that pine through a surface planer on one side as you said it would be easier to clean and I believe it would take the stain more evenly
Out near the Daniel Boone National Forest, we carry everything an off road recovery, and a logger guy carries. Traction plates, bubba rope, tree savers, winches, snatch blocks, jack etc. Impact, sockets, etc... Lockout tools maybe. Full tool kit 1/2 inch. Logging tools. That is a pretty good start.
Hi Mike, don't forget to connect the shower and cabin together.
How about doing the walls in a 45 diagonal or herringbone configuration. Yes is quite a bit if cutting but it uses up a lot of short ends when you get near the corners. Really like your videos.

To be prepared, I stay prayed up, saying an extra amount of good mornings and I love you❤. Save as much of currency and tradeables as possible. Advanced first aid props i.e. antibiotics, bandages. An extra amount of self defence items and fire extinguishers. First and foremost water & purification and long shelflife foods. When possible, portable foldable solar panels and companion battery packs. Pick out several escape routes if evacuation is required. Keep praying...☝🙏🙏🙌🙌💪
That’s a nice set up in the bed I was thinking fire extinguisher and first aid kit also.
