An entire tree of firewood for our new kid



Our second kid has landed, a beautiful little girl we’ve called Charlie. She also arrived in winter which meant my winter supplies of firewood were chewed through twice as fast as normal. So as winter rolled through spring into summer, and the last and worst wood got used up, I decided to take down a dead tree on our nature strip. It was the first time in a single session I’ve cut down, bucked up, split and stacked a tree in one hit.

  1. G'day tubers. Thanks for following along all the newness. This is the second last new day (6 eps) before we take a few weeks off to gather our thoughts and get some sleep- and head to the YOUESAYE and CANADIA for a few weeks. Day 6 will be along Chrissy eve and that will wrap the first chunk of newness. Eps 7-12 are shot and on the way and will get you early in the new year. Mitch and I and Jodi need a few days off to eat cake and watch Cricket while packing. Thanks everyone.

  2. Beau man you've inspired me to get back into life and live it to the fullest and enjoy and appreciate every minute. I've had a rocky few years and despite pressing through I just came out the other side a different person,and not for the better. Getting back into exercise and physical recreation as well as a renewed thirst for knowledge done wonders for my spiritual and mental health…who would've thought it would be initially spurred by watching a random recommended video on YouTube. You, my fellow flame-bearded friend, are the best! Cheers from Florida!

  3. IRS AGENT: “I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them."

    Boat Owner: “Well, there's Clarence, my deckhand, he's been with me for 3 years. I pay him $1,000 a week plus free room and board. Then there's the mentally challenged guy. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of the work around here. He makes about $30 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of Bacardi rum and a dozen Budweisers every Saturday night so he can cope with life. He also gets to sleep with my wife occasionally."

    IRS AGENT: “That's the guy I want to talk to – the mentally challenged one."

    Boat Owner: “That would be me. What would you like to know?"

  4. I just spent a solid hour or two spitting up a tree myself, glad to see Beau got to appreciate the joy of splitting too

  5. Very good, good to see you aussies cutting up a tree and enjoying it. Not making fun, but that's just a day in the life for alot of us Canadians lol. Super cool to see y'all doing it. I had 4 inch icicles In my beard while I was cutting wood In -40 Celsius today

  6. That b-roll of you tucking Helen's hands into her pockets is one of the cutest things I've ever seen, and it fit your narration perfectly too lol

  7. What a beautiful property you guys have. Perfect to raise the kids mate.keep up the good work

  8. Please don't forget about telling us if the pear tree survives 🙏 I'm "rooting" for ya lil buddy

    Also, don't you need to cover your firewood in Australia? Maybe it doesn't rain very much over there.

  9. Mate, hit the busted tree with a bit of water based paint. Keeps the disease out and assists the healing. You can choose the colour 😊🤙

  10. Beau, there are natural grafts you can use to patch over split trees like that pear! If you take proper care, it'll have a scar, but otherwise be a perfectly good tree!

  11. @YouTube, I now have confirmation via an email from Beau – that @BeauMiles1 is a "SCAM". You have only one option. To acknowledge what I have been warning and apologise to me for your failure to pick this up.

  12. Looking forward for that kayaking video!!! But how are you going to do it during the summer?

  13. Take a video about this , The world is now ruled by one community of people, the world Satanic elite, you can also call them the committee to meet the Antichrist and prevent the 2nd coming of Jesus, Trump called them the deep state, at the moment it consists of about 10,000 people, the main ones there are Rockefellers, Rothschilds, Windsors, Baruchs, they, their ancestors, descendants and other people who enter there have the mark of Lucifer, which, if they bring the antichrist and do not allow the 2nd coming, they will receive eternal life after the x hour, and the rest of humanity, for all the time that they have lived, they won't get anything, so all people should know about the existence of a world government

  14. Haha love the WD-40 behind the oven – you never know what needs to be fixed, better have it handy 😀

  15. 😂😂😂😂😂 Welcome aboard Charlie, your old man is a bit of a story telling fool, the best part is there incredible stories. You well see tonight when it’s time for bed. I love your site mate, I feel free to be honest and unguarded.

  16. i just woke up about 30 minutes ago (no caffeine yet admittedly) but i swear the title said "An entire tree of firewood fell on our new kid"

  17. My dad is a curator for a natural domain. As a kid, i used to always tag along. A part of this job was cutting trees of course. Because my father doesn't like chainsaws, he always used a handsaw to fell and cut the trees in pieces. This video reminds me a lot of that time. Its such a therapeutic thing to cut trees and very rewarding once you see it al neatly chopped up.

  18. “I’ll introduce you to beans in the coming months” is one of the funniest sentences I’ve ever heard
