Wood you? │ Q & A 

Nicole Coenen has created a community of 408,000 people who tune in to share moments with a cheerful, kind, courageous, quirky young woman. Quietly, even shyly, she offers many young folks the confidence that they too can hope to live in kindness. I was a high school teacher for a long time. Some kids struggle, and it helps if they come across people like Nicole. Cheers!

"Women" LOL Agreed.

"I also open pickle jars for fun," with that deadass stare. 🤣

Never thought the algorithm would suggest content that though thirsty at first glance is actually wholesome and relaxing. You are my little oasis of nature

I'm glad you let out your extrovert for RU-vid. And it takes courage to put yourself out to the public. I think you have great positive energy which is likely your greatest asset. It compliments everything you do and share.

A wood chopping cooperative that sustainably harvests AND puts the sales back into the community. It makes me so happy to see someone living such a positive life❣️

If she couldn't be more adorable, raises money in local community sustainably. ❤

"Are you gay? ... You must be new." This one threw me right off the chair 🤣

I can so relate to your answer to the introvert/extrovert question. To the point that people who only know me from a few, very specific circumstances, think I'm an extrovert, while those who know me better know I'm more of an introvert, then those who know me very well just shake their heads and say "don't ask."

Oh, I'll play that game! "Why are you 5'-9" tall?" "Because the metric system wasn't available at the time." That question was hilarious and sad at the same time...

Love the energy you are putting out in the world and the energy you are getting back! It shows that it’s possible in this very divisive age that we live in.

I think this was one of the most enjoyable Q and As I have ever seen. Definitely a second part would be great! 😊

Ok, she is literally THE most Canadian ever. Also, being Irish, I had no idea social lumberjacking was a thing.

Seriously, one of THE best YT subscription decisions Ever. 👍👍👍

I smiled for the whole video. I hope your parents are very proud of you. You're awesome!

Found your channel recently, and i guess you are just my new favorite human. Thanks for your smiles, they heal the world.

Я в шоке, такая светлая и милая девушка😊 К сожалению не встречал таких по жизни Ты удивительный человек, способный жить полной жизнью и наслаждаться каждым днем, мало кто способен на это в наше время. Совершенно не понимаю как я очутился на твоем канале, он я рад что могу каждый день, заходить сюда и улыбаться. Спасибо за твои видео и за то что ты есть! Будь всегда такой клевой! 🙂

I've started saying 'okiedokie' in general everyday life now, and I'm placing the blame firmly on you xD Also Bambi is a total sweetheart and I'm so happy she found you

It's so great to see you doing so well after all these years, Nicole!

Such a great vibe, glad folks are digging your videos!

This 'bye' at the end is really cute 🙂

So awesome. I'm also an introvert with extrovert tendencies with the right people. And, I just ordered my first Fiskars. I'm starting with the 6lb and working up to the 8. Thanks for being awesome. Your videos always bring a smile to my face. 💜

You are so absolutely enjoyable to watch, loved the Q & A. It was great to learn what you are doing for your community and in turn as well for the environment. Wish you a happy and long life.

I don't know how you popped up in my algorithm but I'm glad you did. You're always upbeat and happy and it's infectious, good job👍🏿😊

Have you always been this adorable? Love the chopping videos. Best of luck in all your endeavors.😁

Yay! Fiskars mentioned! Did you know that it's also a village here in Finland? My mom used to own a house there. Many great memories! (Also outside of the Fiskars - axe / scissor -shop) It's a beautiful place. Old trees, river and a mill. If you'll ever visit - tour is guaranteed! :)

You always brighten my day, the more I find out about you the more I'm convinced we share a spirit animal. Lots of love from Ireland ❤

You seem like a fun person and down to earth person honestly, would love to have a friend like you! Keep on doing what you're doing and be happy. :)

Nicole, your a legend, It is such a pleasure to hear your thoughs, nice addition to the content. you should absolutly do more clips like this. Do make that axe video please. And if you do, the question to add to the list is. Are you, currently, genuinly happy?

I just got a Bison axe with a metal collar and am super happy - I look forward to your axe reviews! You are welcome in my small forest any time to chop wood!

I do love your videos, your comedic timing is on point. Hope you have a great week.

Bambi is actually my favorite body “type” of dog. Your shoulders are AMAZING and I hope to have mine that well developed eventually. Good questions and answers. Thanks for the fun and inspiring videos.

It looks like you have made RU-vid videos for a long time . What changed or more specifically want has inspired you to change the type of videos you’ve done and what do you plan for the future of the channel. Love your videos and glad you made them. :)

Im living a new episode of life. That put me in a anxiety ish, but also incomprehensible feelings and a really confused mind. But them suddenly a non common video, of this folk, way further, is her solitude, that has a meaning, strong arms, chopping wood, nice smile, amazing skills of editing and filming, bringing this short and well made content, makes me put me back on the rails, see that life can be more them we think we could think. Limits are just us and not realizing how far we could be and close as we want to ourself. I don't know if you miss nicole will ever read my comment, but if you do, just reply with a ❤ in any of my social media. You saved my life, with just a video showing wood being chopped.

i enjoy watching you. It's great to see a person with some enthusiasm and humor. I've cut wood since 1968, so I dig your efforts in the woodyard, too.

Thank you for the little Q&A. You are a ray of sunshine here

I have a pot cake! i just adopted her from St. Lucia in January. Her name is Bella Lugosi. 😁

I like your channel! It really cheers me up, just watching you do, what you do!

Thank you for the smiles. Your happy nature, can do attitude is what is needed in this world.

You are such an amazing content creator! I'm glad you have such a big following, you deserve it!

Thank you very much for the life energy and emotions that you share with us through your videos. It may seem a little strange, but it really works. Even though I am thousands of kilometers away from Canada (hello from Russia!), I can feel the positive vibes you send out, and it's great! It doesn't matter what you do, whether you're chopping wood or simply talking about your dog on video, your positive energy reaches many people, and that's what matters. Keep it up!

Lovely dog. Thank you for your vids; they make the universe shine brighter and more pleasantly.

Nicole, your pleasant demeanor and shiny Outlook on life is good therapy for me I thank you for posting these

You are a breathe of fresh air! Really enjoy your videos! Best wishes for your continued happiness.

FAQ: Frequently Axed Questions

Was a fun one! You are great 👍

I watch you because you always put a smile on my face.

Thank you for existing and sharing with us! You generate a ridiculous amount of happiness!

The questions people ask are just amazing... to say the least...

Love your stuff. Keep doing you.

Love how the fire died in the back ground. Just shows how much work is involved in making a RU-vid video.

Love the arms, and everything else! 😊

As a fellow Canadian, I am happy for you! I love your work and I hope you have all the success in the world. I wish I still lived in Canada, I was from Alberta, but I moved to Australia as a child. If you look up the definition of home sick in the dictionary, there should be a photo of me! Anyway, break a leg! :)

Nicole , your such a Doll . Your eyes and smile are contagious . Thanks for just being " you " . Ontario .

Came here specifically to learn what you did for your arm workout, stayed because I love your personality and content! ♡

You are doing such a superdee duperdee wonderful job with all of your videos! Great energy and vibe, really nice editing, bla bla. 😊 Seriously keep choppin! 🪵🪓🪵

Не ну что сказать. Какая же ты классная. Влюбился с первого Шорта который увидел.

That's just a good vibes video! Thanks!

This is the best thing I’ve seen all day. I’m gonna have to go look at the rest of your stuff.

I'm stoked to hear your axe reviews.

Nicole ❤You're SO AWESOME!!!!! Stay safe and shine on!

You are entirely too cool. Thanks for your content! I hope all is well!

I like your no nonsense persona as seen in the video. That's what drew me to watching the videos. And I enjoy seeing the little bloopers and ad-libs within the videos it's hilarious. You Make me smile. And I subscribed which is very rare for me to subscribe to anyone.

Love this upload. Love your sense of humor.

i spent good time in the pacific NW, from banff to Victoria Island fishing and hiking. just felt like saying that as old guy with three kids living off the gulf in Texas that you remind me of all the good times i had i up there. hope your channel continues to blow up. the editing, timing, style and creativity is top notch

Your videos make me smile.

I haven't had the chance to comment lately but I never realized your eyes are so blue and I still think you are my favorite crush! Keep chopping and giving us work out tips.

Thanks for bringing smiles today😊

Fiskars makes great products. I also love their kitchen knives and roll sharpener. Might not be *technically the best way* but a couple strokes and tomatoes dont get squished anymore.

3:15 Finnish 🇫🇮 axe recommendations, eh? I live about six miles from Hults Bruk. 🇸🇪 😊

Thanks for the video. Always good to see your smile.

She has an infecting smile and bright eyes! Her sense of humor is pure and rich. She has an affect on people and probably doesn’t even know it! She a special one ❤..

I really really like your videos. Its great to see you smiling and living like this, its heartwarming. I hope we can see you and Potcake as long as wood is growing and you're having fun. :3 I'm an introvert with situational extros too so I can really relate to this.. must be great there, lonely sometimes, but great! Hoping you can show us so much more! =) Greetings from Germany .. Potcake, this name is awesome! :D EDIT: I'm so dumb xD the name is Bambi and not Potcake. Sorry x)

Okie dokie!

Good to hear you talk about yourself. Keep up the healthy and simple living. 90% of US folks could use your life as an example. Thanks for posting.

Nicole, cheers from the states, Pa, to be exact!! I think you’re just awesome and I’m so happy I found your content!!! ❤❤❤

“Why are you gay?” Such a odd question. I like to tell people “I don’t recall being born heterosexual, but that is what I am.” It’s 2023 folks, let’s let it go. We are who we are. Oh, and BTW…I vote for your answer too. Love da ladies.

What a fun video! My question is this. Have you been the outdoorsy type your whole life? Or did it come around more as an adult? Thanks for the content your reels and videos are super fun. I love showing my daughters bc all 3 of them want to be strong!

Keep being you! Enjoy your journey in life and on the road.

Thank you for making me smile. Your wood cutting is top notch.

I used to refer to myself as an introverted extrovert. I always felt uncomfortable in medium sized groups. However when confronted with the situation of a large group of say 40 or 50, I would shine. Not only not shying away, but prompting the group to ask questions. BTW keep chopping!

I love her. She's so adorable and interesting ❤️

I love the Fiskars tools. LOVE THEM!!! Club hammer, maul, splitting axe, pick etc. All the best from way over in New Brunswick.

Ha! Great round of Q&A. Thanks for sharing.

A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.

Хоть я понимаю плохо английский, мне все равно нравится смотреть твои видео, твое милое лицо улыбку❤

The smile is infectious ❤ God speed and good luck in all you do

Adorable. Just plain, old adorable. You, young lady are not old, nor plain old. Just your personality, your humble and gracious attitude, and your elegantly simple outlook and living of life. And, you are a very pretty young lady. So nice to have a respectful and beautiful young woman that does not act like a spoiled, insolent teenager. Thank you, and yes, I just subscribed. Keep that smile, it lights up the world !

A very sweet young lady! Many great adventures are coming your way!

Not so much a question but your arms are 🔥

Hey! Just wanted to let you know (even though you should already know this) that your content is amazing and brings joy to many people including myself. My question is how long have you been cutting wood for? Hope you read this and have a great day!

Thank you for sharing. I'm enjoying every minute of your videos. You have an amazing life.

So a few months ago Nicole popped up in YT. I've always had thing for women with blue eyes and blonde hair, mega bonus if they're dorky (wife definitely is! ...and has green eyes). About the same time Nicole appeared to me, she appeared to my 13 year old son. I don't think he's figured it out and I don't have the heart to tell him.

I admit I didn't watch the full video because I'm an awful person but I WILL watch all of it. As a ravid foaming at the mouth fan of Nicole I would just like to have one question answered. If a fan were to send you something like a plaid shirt or an axe would you accept it and use it? I want to send Nicole some shirts to keep her warm in the winter :>

Your dog is great, a true friend. And it is so cool the way other dogs come to visit.

Long time watching your videos but new subscriber. I should have subscribed sooner. I really like your content 😊 keep up the great work here!!

What’s the strangest question anyone has ever asked you ? Looking back on life what is something you’ve learned about yourself in the last 4 years ? Just wanted to throw out some questions to your next Q&A

Being the Dungeons & Dragons nerd that I am, Nicole has inspired me to create a homebrew barbarian subclass. Barbarian: Path of the Lumberjill... Level 3: Trusty Rusty: You score a critical hit on a natural 19 or 20 on melee attacks with a hand axe, battle axe, or great axe. Level 3: Good Wood: You have proficiency in Nature and Persuasion. Level 6: That'll Do: Whenever you score a critical hit or a killing blow with a melee attack, you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier. Level 10: Clean Livin': Once per short or long rest you may use an action to remove the exhausted, frightened, or poisoned condition from yourself. While you are raging this becomes a bonus action. Level 14: Okie Dokie: You have Proficiency in Charisma saving throws and you may add your Charisma modifier to your Initiative rolls. Anyone who doesn't play D&D is probably a tad confused and just ignore this comment. Sorry.

Nice to see ya back

Love the q&as! Still would love to know your actual arm workouts though😆☺️
