Never thought I'd become so fascinated by chopping wood. But here I am, learning all sorts of new stuff.

That chopping sequence at the end is the only ASMR I've ever enjoyed.

Knotted pieces are such a blessing and a curse. Thanks for sharing! Love this video 🙌🏼🪵

It's very satisfying to watch you wood chopping.

I love listening to the environment behind her. So so calm and relaxing even when you get the sound from the axe hitting the wood.

This is what I call reading the wood. I love splitting firewood with my old axe. Very good job 👍 You definitely know what you're doing.

Great idea using the white chalk! Really helps to see what you're talking about.

Splitting is always a blessing. Ya get to work out issues and heat the house. It's a win, win, situation. Okay Doky!

Girl, you are a force of nature!

Watching your videos have definitely influenced my style choices lately… I’ve been reaching for my beanies and flannels a lot more 😂 Soon I’ll be shopping for an axe for the imaginary wood I’ll split

I wish you have a long clip of you chopping wood. Like an hour. Something I come go to sleep with. Sounds soothing. Especially if I'm not doing it.😅

Thank you Sensei for your wisdom. I wouldn't have known how wood could work without your skillful teaching.

Love the the added color overlays

This is the most educational video I've seen on the KZfaqs in quite a while. Thanks Nicole!

Thanks for this woodlecture! This is very helpful!! Sometimes it feels like I am hitting logs forever! ❤

I love the new camera angle. It allows me to get closer to the wood which makes it more engaging ❤

Wood chopping is very healthy for body and soul - so I like very much to do that - and watching Nicole is absolutely fascinating and pleasing!!!

I just wanted to say I’m so glad I found you today. I haven’t seen a woman chopping this much wood since my great great aunt. Who subsequently died of a heat stroke chopping wood at 98 years old. May you live a long happy Lesbian Lumberjack life like my gg aunt and stay hydrated my new friend!! 😉❤

That outline you made of the knot in the wood looks pleasingly familiar. 😉 And they can be a challenge too. BTW, if you haven’t thought of this already, have you thought about a Kickstarter campaign for a line of Nicole Coenen signature axes? Just an idea.

I am amazed (and envious) of your accuracy!

I spent the day watching your videos and I can go on forever. You’re amazing keep up the good work bestie!!! ❤❤❤

I don’t even chopped wood, but I’m enjoying watching this 😅

So much wisdom from this here youngin. And way more energy too plus fun to watch! 😊

Dear Nicole, If you are anything like the person you show in the videos, then I think you are a sincere and true human being. Be true to yourself, and never doubt yourself because of what others might say about you! I hope you will find your way through life and be truly happy about it. Whenever i see one of your videos, you bring a smile to my face, thank you!

The theory behind chopping wood is more complex and interesting than I ever thought possible. I knew different axes heads were for different purposes but have never known the "why" behind them. Always fun, always interesting, another great video Nicole!

I am amazed that you consistently hit where you aim with that axe!

Hey Nicole 🌻🍃Thanks for the Lesson 🌈🌴☀️🌺🌊✌️💚😎

That was great to watch. I have chopped wood for over 50 years, but that was a great tutorial. I guess you mostly split conifers. Here it tends to be more deciduous & I find deciduous easiest to chop when just felled. I also find different woods & different sizes of log like to be split by different axes, so experiment. If one type sticks, but doesn't split, try something different.

Awesome video will pass it along to the people in need of help ‼️‼️‼️

Great video. A few decades ago, I had to split wood too. I learned by doing. This is a great summary. Thanks!

I thought I knew things of chopping up firewood. Turns out that I only know to swing the axe. Thank you for this. Very helpful.

This is good info. Now, if I could just find my flannel, I'll get started.

Love the echoes around the forest ❤❤

I think we all just got schooled! In the nicest way possible.

I love watching this young lady. She is a treat.

I don't need help splitting, but I still like watching these videos

If you're new to this though, take it slow. Nicole is skilled, strong and in practice; trying to match her pace as a rookie is asking for trouble.

Size don't always correlate with the level of difficulty. Nice one ! Important lesson for life. Love you. Chris

I tuned in for some fun chopping but honestly, I learned a lot from this interesting tutorial on handling knots in wood chopping. Thank you for the explanation! Love your videos!!

It is nice to start with a smaller one to get ya used to the bigger ones!!! Much love from the tip of the mitten state!!

Hi Nicole love watching you chop! Beautiful gal keep chopping

I love echo of the splitting from the woods.

Nicole, I love to watch you chop wood. It is . . . lovely. If I ever find myself in a position to chop wood I hope I can remember some of your suggestions. Thank you.

Beautiful demostration!

I remember those are things my Dad taught me when I was younger. Take care

I always thought that wood was split using a wedge and hammer. Learned something today.😊

This is a very informative video. As someone who has never chopped wood before, that's knot how I would've thought to do it.

It's so oddly meditative.

As a beginner wood chopper, this is so helpful! Thanks for the education.

Great, practical advice. Simple and straightforward.

Very nice video ❤ learned that as a boy 😊

Great tips!!❤

Damn… you strong as hell girl! Love it! Thanks for sharing!

Easily the best wood chopping video on KZfaq. First video I have seen with a realistic look into what it is like chopping wood. Thank you! And you did a great job explaining everything. I wish I saw this video before or when I was starting my wood chopping journey. Excellent content to someone just learning. It would be cool to see a video on selecting trees to fell for firewood or cutting logs into rounds.

Thanks for being so inspiring, not just for those of us who need to split wood, but also for those of us trying to get in shape! Many of us aspire to develop arms like yours!!! ❤💪❤💪❤💪❤

You are amazingly accurate with your swing

This occasional chopper thanks you!

Very well done! I will be sharing this video on Facebook and my channel! Great work as always!

The efficiency is off the chain!

well i like your videography skills and the way u show us the nature around u 😊😊😊😊😍😍😍😍

I love how precise your 'shot placement' is. You lay it right in the exact line with every other hit, almost always. Very impressive and shows how much practice you've had! (and of course you look great as always ❤‍🔥)

I very much enjoy your channel. I kept the wood bos full for two stoves on the fram until going into service at 18, after high school. Take care, God Bless

Thank you for covering the oft overlooked outer chop!

Love the echo. Love your aim 🪵

Oh hello I see you’re already using the flick doing great fun to watch. Have a good day.

Learn something new everyday ☺️

Brava as always

Nicole! Great video, thanks for sharing! No one is going to mess with you with your axe collection and axe skills🤭🙂😎❤

Okie dokie. Thanks for the lesson in wood chopping. Love your videos.

ill never choip wood but i will watch every one of these videos 😳

this video was lovely

I just want you to know that I have learned so much from you already. Thank you.

I need to get into this again, it's gotta be a good workout.

Gratulalok, nagyon űgyes,latszik hogy sokat dolgozik.

❤ Удачи Вам привет из Рогачёва Беларусь 😊

Woooow! Great Job!

Awesome video!!!

you should give arizona pinon pine a try, lots of knots and quite a work out.

Great work, I love this video. Have a blessed day ❤

I was looking at some big round knots and wondered if i should squeeze to check if they were sappy

Congratulations on 1.1 million subscribers. 👍

Thank you!

You have some wood splitting skills young lady ❤❤❤❤❤

Thanks for this video! It's very intresting.

The scenery is always so beautiful ❤ Love watching your content, seeing your amazing smile, and reminding me every time just how gay I am 😂

That was a lot of splitting! 😯 Exercises to mimic wood splitting video? 😄

That was amazing.

Вы потрясающая, очаровательная и так много всего умеете. Самый вдохновляющий контент за долгое время. Вы заставляете меня верить в то, что иметь жизнь которую действительно хочешь возможно. Жить в красивом месте, заниматься делами, которые нравятся. С огромной любовью и уважением, привет из России. ❤

This is super informative. I really like that chaulk(?) and highlight touch. Actually, just the all-around visual aids are awesome.

Greetings from Finland ❤

"Lovely". Really informative stuff.

I love this girl!!!!

-Lovely😊! Both you and your skills! I really like your swing and accuracy! Nice workout😛.

you are amazing

Really good video there mate you showed some real skill. There is real growth in your axe wielding prowess compared to your early videos.

We just had some strong winds in the UK so I asked people if I could take the wood as I drove past. Still sawing up the trunks that I have in the garage and have bought a maul, grenade and hatchet so I can season my own wood for next year as the new place also has a log burner.

Ah, to be 30 again!! Now 71, with rods and screws in my back, I can no longer indulge in the very satisfying act of chopping wood for fun and exercise.😢. But damn, girl, I sure do like watching you do so 😊. I do still heat my shop with wood, but have the rounds split for me so I do get to use a light maul and hatchet to get kindling. Kind of like not being able to shoot my .357 mag for fun much, but love my .22. Do as much as you can, for as long as you can. Hope 2024 is your best year ever.

The outdoors gives back Very green 👍

Beautiful, thanks! Nicole Coenen, the “Canadian Machine”. 😊😊😊

I'm a big fan of outer chops. Center chops are fine if you've got the accuracy (which clearly you do). For center chops, I would also recommend starting on the outside and working inward rather than starting dead center.
