Life Lessons in a Firewood Pile

[@paulpedroncelli4903]

Thank you for your video. Even the fine way you stack the wood shows your work ethic and high quality of work.

Well thank you kindly! Thats a very nice compliment and I sure appreciate that. To even notice, Id say you most likely have the same mind-set. Thanks for watching!

This is one of the best videos I’ve ever seen. My Dad…well…I tell people I was about 30 when it dawned on me that he was pretty smart! Haha. He bestowed on me some of the same values your Dad laid on you! Thanks a bunch for taking the time to share these thoughts with us! God bless you

Wow, what a compliment! Thank you Sir. Seems we are both 2 extremely lucky men to have grown up with a manly man for a Dad for role models. God bless you Sir.

Wow, what a great video. Every young man could learn something from a wood pile for sure. It is refreshing to hear those old stories, made my mind return to the wood pile in Perry county Arkansas. It is amazing how simple things move us toward good. Great men for sure. Made my eyes damp with memories. I hope that some young guy with a new family and a few acres sees this video and makes men out of boys, the right way - with hard work and love. Thanks for the kind words, hope you and Susan are doing well.

Thank you, Sir. Your previous comment spurred this video. This world sure needs a "few good men", for sure. We have w-a-y too many sissy, feminist males. I thank God above my Dad was a masculine man and a role model for me to look at for what I should be later in life. Happy New Year to you and the Missus. God bless you both.

@8thdaychronicles Happy New Year bud. Men have sure fell off a bit for sure. Hope it turns around soon.

Great video my man. I can relate to most everything you spoke of. I too use a maul to split my wood. I borrowed a log splitter from a friend once and found it was not only slower but not as satisfying as busting with the maul/go devil.

Thank you kindly for the nice comment. There is sure something to be said for time spent in a firewood pile. Thanks again.

Telling Dad you're bored is like praying for God to teach you patience.

[@8thdaychronicles]

True that! I never told my Dad again that I was bored!

Stacking it quickly in a pile with limited space helps learn your brain how to think quicker. Especially when you got another tossing them at ya.

[@8thdaychronicles]

Amen to that! So many lessons learned working in firewood if we open our eyes to further thinking beyond just the wood.
