    I’m petrified of heights and could never make the hike due to chronic pain issues…so Thank you for sharing this for those of us unable to enjoy such a beautiful adventure! Also, I love that they have a way to get people with disabilities up the tree! What an experience! ❤

    Nicole, this by far is one of your best videos I really enjoyed because it’s nothing I’ve ever seen in any videos. What an adventure and unique experience sleeping on top of the tree 300ft up. That’s something I would do in the future once I heal from my injuries. Thanks for sharing this. It fun to see you and your sister bonding and having fun in such a great setting. Great job. AJ.

    That was awesome! I've read quite a few books on trees, which have arborists climbing trees. It's wonderful to actually see ya'll climbing the old growth Douglas Fir. Currently we have some protesters trying to save a tree from being cut down by developers in Seattle, WA. They have been sleeping in Luma, an old cedar's treetop, while down below we've been signing petitions to save it from being axed. Thanks for sharing the magnificent, 300 ft high views from your elevated campsite. Jenny 🌲🌲🌲

    I worked at a camp in the San Bernardino mountains (Alpine Camp in Twin Peaks) for almost 2 years facilitating a High Ropes course where you would climb up trees to go through each challenge.
    One is called The Centurion (My favorite one) where you would climb up 100 feet and run on a platform to then jump to catch a trapeze, I loved doing that one as much as possible.
    But I never knew you could climb up and sleep in the trees 300 feet up, that must have been really great fun, the sunset looked beautiful.

    At Itasca State Park in northern Minnesota there is a very old fire observation tower. The observation deck is 100 feet above ground. There are stairs and handrails all the way up. As a firefighter I have been on 100 ft aerial ladders. No problem there. When I sleep at the campsite I’m on a closed cell foam pad and an air mattress. That’s my limit. Thank you very much. Your tree experience was fascinating. Remember- The guy in the movie said,”I’m getting too old for this s…….”
    Meanwhile, stay north. The southern areas are getting baked currently.

    Camper Rocks, you might want to suggest your friend uses a foot ascender with chicken loops. This adds a strap that goes around your ankle. If your top ascender fails you will fall inverted, it’s called a heel hang. Without the chicken loop you can have the foot attachments slide off and then it is all over. Nice adventure.

    Wow! I'm officially amazed that you did that. It looks hard and worthwhile, but you have to really trust in your training and your partners, and have some courage. I'm afraid if heights but I also like heights and within reason I have tried to push myself. I'm not sure I would want to spend the night up there, but I would definitely be up for the challenge of the climb with the right professional guidance. Well, on second thought, after that climb I would probably welcome a few hours of sleep in a hammock. I'm guessing this is a seasonal camp. Probably wouldn't want to do this in October. I'm super impressed that you guys did this. It's an amazing and rare feat. Databyter
