Nothing better than climbing a tree
Agreed 👍
ua-cam.com/video/yKVj2qjwVeQ/v-deo.html try this technique
Agreed it almost feels likee excersise that is fun a walk trough a higher world than the ground something so engaging but fun and still got a bit of danger to it if you like to climb tall trees its just beautifull
Yup
Tree climbing is my spiritual practice☺️❤️🌳🌲
Since I was a little kid I've always liked climbing trees.
Now I'm 21 and still the same.
It's like an impulse: you see a tall tree that is climbable and you feel the need to climb it.
Didn't know anyone like me
I love climbing on tree and being able to hug their huge beautiful old branches.
I'm here bro. There is no big tree in my area that I didn't climb. Nice wind on top of a tree watching the sea.
I'm like you.
same bro, but im still a kid so i dont get alot of strange looks
It's the spirit of our ancestors
It sucks that not many people know that this is what we’re supposed to do
I love you all fellow tree climbers. Wish we could have a forest for us and live there together :((
I'm in, lets get a tree tribe going.
hows it going with the tree tribe lol@@GettingHighWithEZHNO
@@Viperpro140 I have found a handful of people who would try it but everyone is quite far from each other. Certainly a few years out, if ever lol
Check out Tarzan movement channel
@@GettingHighWithEZHNO how's it going?
Finally someone who GETS me🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love climbing trees so much. I’ve been scolded for doing it countless times lol.
After I shouted 'Good morning!' to my now late Mum, from the top of a 30m, 100 year old pine, I was grounded from more then 4-5m up trees. Still had fun though ;)
my friend always walks away when i find a tree to climb, he always thinks im going to fall
Last summer I found a video on UA-cam about a guy climbing trees with climbing gear and hanging his hammock high up in the canopy.
The next day I bough a hammock and went in the forest by myself.
I found two nice trees and set up my hammock. I really enjoyed my time there.
After a week of watching tutorials about tree climbing I decided to buy some basic climbing gear. I learn how it works very quickly. After a few days of getting familiar with the equipment I went and spent my first night high up in the canopy of a lovely tree.
There's a special connection between us and trees. We feel safe up there. It feels like home.
My butt was freezing the whole night, by the way 😂
Was it scary?
I want to try that
Ovi Haliuc I totally agree! Been there done that. And: get an underquilt for the hammock. Cosy warm even with wind.
We're primates. I think it's instinctive; in a way it is home.
It does feel like home
Wow I do it for a job I’m in trees daily did you in clip from rope or did you sleep in the harness,can’t imagine sleeping high up as I sometimes sleep walk hahaaaa but also can’t imagine sleeping in my harness
maybe they shouldnt cut trees but relocate them transfer them,not to cut them..and i think its nice to have cities with a touch of wildlife and countrysides fills you with imaginations of myths or inspiration...also its really nice to see trees and parks in the city it complements the weather coolness and cold and the ftey or blue skies of britain..
lea rodriguez Unfortunately that would be very high cost. Imagine the roots on those trees, the weight and how to even transport them
Right on Lea! Today 200 year Oak trees with 200 years of life in it. Have been moved for $200,000. So this cannot be done for old parkway trees, or any trees having restricted root system.
Yesss
@@Unknown-eg5xz Yes, a better solution would be to simply plant 1 seed for every 1 tree cut down in forests and countrysides. This would cost some money but it certainly is a much better option.
That's a hard thing to do, designing with trees in mind could be something but traffic/infrastructure (and that one word for supply coordination, I forgot the word) would suffer a bit
Got it, the word I was looking for is "logistics"
i have been climbing trees for a living for 15 years. I consider my self very lucky to have the best job in the world . I dont consider my self a "safe kinda climber" i dont always were a helmet or follow all the safety guidelines. But when i see you climb with out a harness and life line .... Twice so far, pretty big branches broke off from my weight . It does not mater how good at climbing you are when the branch you walk on snap off.
Cool video ! Keep on climbing, play safe , tie in.
If a branch breaks from under you, the tree is probably rotten. Trees are naturally strong. It should support ur weight
Same here I climb on 2 lines it feels odd climbing without now
I’ll still climb trees when I’m 70.
Wow joce i will be like you ome day
Sorry when i said joce i meant nice😂
one time, i was in my mid 20's and i was renting a room in my aunts house. they had a huge tree in the yard, i enjoyed climbing it, and my uncle told me to cut it out. so there goes that fun.
I love climbing! It's soooooo great when you find a great tree!
Nothing is quite as human as climbing a tree
this is the sweetest segment ever. I love it
It's been years since I've climbed a tree but I can recall how great it felt :)
This spoke to me on a deep level. Good on ya, mate!
Watching this while sitting in a tree!
Well, im too afraid to fall down,
And break some of my delicate bones.
Looks veeeery relaxing though
I didnt know there was a stigma of adults climbing trees guess im 14 tho ic I saw. Man climbing a tree i would think hes cool
That’s what I do at the park I always challenge myself and I always get surprised at how good I am at tree climbing. The only thing I do different is I wear shoes 😂😂
Climbing a tree is one my childhood memories 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
we had two huge trees in our school I used to finish the meal earlier so that I could spend 30 minutes of lunch time sitting on those trees
Since humans ARE primates, Great apes in fact, if a human climb a tree, its a ape on a tree 💁♂️
I want to do that too im a child :)
I do this my entire life and I don't care what people think.
This is so good and it only has 400 likes
Just came back from tree climbing
I started doing it because i felt like being in the bottomless pit, no feelings of being alive, since i climb i am way more positive and happy in general.
When you are in the bottomless pit, the only way back, is up
Think about it, and then go outside, change your life.
I was always afraid to climb trees when i was a kid
Now i REALLY want to climb a tree, but i still don't know how
any tips...?
Well, you can start working out your biceps and back, along with triceps, get decent shoes, and just start, I used to climb daily when I was younger, I fell out of that habit but now I'm back in and I'm happier because of it, just start and try not to fall, skill will come with time. Also get good at squeezing the tree with a clap position because sometimes that is necessary, if you have other question s ju st reply, I'll check here daily
Go from small tress, to the bigger, don't rush.
Levi Stepanian No don’t wear shoes especially in trees. Just practice slowly going barefoot and slowly get better and listen to your body so that you don’t rush the process.
work out with calisthenics basically and start getting used to trees, get to a point where you understand if a tree is sturdy or sketchy
2:24 Tree climbing in cemeteries maximizes reduction in your carbon footprint by falling directly into your grave
I would join
I like to whistle when I'm high up. The look on peoples faces when they find out it's me in the tree tops...
2:25 You should really learn how to walk around the park or anywhere really barefoot instead of having shoes on and taking them off just for the tree
Sar i fan you ❤❤❤❤❤
Love climbing trees makes me feel how puny and insignificant I am.
Then learn calisthenics, parkour, and tree climbing.
@@nabranestwistypuzzler7019 Ayy I do calisthenics I'm not amazing but ive almost got the human flag and the baki pose down
I do it for my job I consider it one of the coolest jobs
I always climb trees in the city 😂. I am especially good at climbing branchless trees
I've always found that to be a lot more difficult and scary! I've never been able to tell I'll definitely have enough strength to engage in a branchless tree, there's basically no chance to rest your arms. Besides I always fear the bark might peel off...
CampaignsIlraon I usually climb trees with very smooth bark. So it never peels. Also you use mainly your leg strength to climb and your arms for support. That’s a tip I learned that helped me a lot
havent heard from you recently how are you?
@@laurencemitchell1632 me?
trees have to be more evenly distributed in places that people lives.
Why do u climb trees bare foot ?
Armin Hashmi best traction you will ever have
You feel free while climbing bare foot
Thats normal
Best grip that way. I tried climbing shoes as well but it’s not as good as bare feet. I think climbing shoes are better on rock
@@Hanuman_ I always climb trees with standard sports shoes. It helps absorbing some impact when dropping down to the ground. But I guess if you know how to ground properly, barefeet would do just as well.
I’m sitting in a tree
I don’t know anything about climbing trees but I’ll say if ur going to walk on a half thick and half thin tree, u should walk on four legs because u have more balance I guess?
And also practice bipedal to get better at that. Start low though.
I look like a child so it's not too awkward 😂
Amo stare sugli alberi, voglio imparare ad arrampicarmi meglio, e in maniera naturale! 😍😆
Climbing calms my bipolar self. Far worse things i can do.
Many Person can climb trees with shoes!
Why is he no wearing any shoes and why does he know so much about trees
Feet give you a larger surface area because they deform around the tree, they are already curved on the bottom, and you can curve them even more around branches, almost hugging them. I climb coconut trees to get coconuts and I can tell you I'd have an extremely hard time with shoes.
Its all about being at one with the tree while climbing. When you climb barefoot you have the best possible grip.
Why would he trap his feet especially when trying to climb especially in a tree and why would he not learn about trees from climbing and research?
Only 400 likes bruh
Don't be encouraging this where I live because we had 3 6ft 4 black men climbing 40 feet into a tree in our park and watching the young women...know what I MEAN?
is this legal
Does it matter laws are shit
@@yawningdog9894 true
why wouldnt it be
Laws are a government construct
😂 Only thing could be something like a public nuisance, if a copper had a bad dislike for you. Might also be concerned for your wellbeing lol
Chad
Bro is returning to monke
We are monke
A sniff of exhibitionism ?
@Picaro Sanshiro I agree climbing is a great way to keep fit and you will be breathing in the freshest of air be in a forest or a city it will beat the quality of air at ground level.
