I'm 15 and I do this all the time. From my experience, you're doing it all wrong. Trying to walk up the tree like this puts unnecessary strain on your arms and back, instead, put your feet flat on either side of the tree and move your crotch as close to the tree as you can. It will look almost as if you're sitting Indian style. You can also use your knees as an extra friction piece when doing this if you want to stop to pick something out of the tree or whatever. This way will allow your arms freedom and will put most of the weight on your lower body. Ive tried both ways and your way is much harder. Just my two cents - Caleb
Also, never wear shoes. Shoes don't grip trees well. Your feet can wrap around the contour of the tree providing a bigger area of foot to tree contact.
+Caleb Whittington You took the words right out of my mouth! I couldn't agree more Caleb. Shimmying up the tree by keeping your legs tucked in a "butterfly stretch" and keeping your torso and crotch as close to the tree as possible significantly reduces the strength needed to hoist yourself up for such a thin tree diameter, and bear feet grip much better than shoes do.
I also recommend taking any unnecessary junk out of your pockets that will get in your way and prevent your legs from bending, as well as wearing pants that fit well and are made of an elastic material. My favorite pants for the woods are probably the 5.11 Stryke pants with Flextac material. They're a good combination of light, flexible, and durable although they can get a little hot and stuffy in 70+ degree weather.
Thanks for the info Caleb. I choose this was to make it more of a challenge. I will get better with this technique though.
Damn dude, great job. Hard to come by a comment that doesn't use foul language or bash the video maker. Props to you.
Outdoor therapy and just some good old fun... keeps you young!
I am doing it now bc I am depressed
Getting older definitely makes it harder to do something we were able to do effortlessly in our youth. I haven't tried something like that in over a decade. Great job ! Getting down was always the part I dreaded.
I absolutely love that you made this video! When I was younger, I am 21 now, used to live in the trees basically. All day long I would be climbing as high as I could and then very stupidly get to a spot to jump out of it. I have recently noticed the very sad truth that kids don't climb trees anymore. I have these great memories of climbing to the top where I would sway with the wind and have my own personal perspective on my surrounding that was just liberating! All I see today are parents that are too afraid to allow their curious children to naturally explore and have fun. I try to do my part to get the children I interact with outside but I do actually fear for the next generation. Hopefully they will value the outdoors like I do and I know you do but I'm just not sure.
hey man don't worry, I have a group of guys that we go climb trees all the time. We also jumped out of them very stupidly as you said. they're still groups of us that keep to the old ways
I'm 15 and even I have realised that kids dont climb anymore.
but i can reasure you that i climb all the time, its just so fun.
and i calculated my ape index to be +8.5 so that gives me an advantage
It’s 2021 now I’m 13 and that’s my favorite hobby but I’ve never encountered another kid climbing one 😕
*Hahaha! Sweetest video I've seen ina while. Not joking, cool as hell to mix it up, and play while your out in the woods. Gonna piggyback this idea and run with some ideas you gave me. You guys are awesome.*
Love your vids man!
+Scrambled O Heck yea man gotta keep it fresh. Can't become stagnate.
Different, but amusing. Made me want to go climb a tree.
Words escape us...this was a most magical experience. It felt like we were there with you in the forest, mentally cheering you on. Because words would be too distracting, so we would invoke telepathy.
Love, love, love this video, be spontaneous in life. Bet your muscles were buzzing after that. 💪👏
+Sue O'Brien (Activesuezen Outdoors) Thanks! Surprisingly, I felt pretty good after this. I think the warm up helped SO much.
Hahaha. Awesome video! Love the simplicity of the fun. It's true: it's fun to climb on things! Thanks. Keep up the great work.
On your way to ninja warrior status! Nice job!
Climbing a tree is so much fun. Was expecting a bit more based on the video title, though...
an original video as always guys! love to see different ways of amusing ourselves out in the forest, keep up the great stuff!
If you sea tree and you feel the urge to climb it...you gotta go for it! Way to go Krik!!! Tell me Stony tried.
+David Chouiniere No he didn't. Believe me, if he did, I would have filmed some of it!
Really enjoyed this video, weirdly relaxing to watch aha
a trick I use is a pharmacies loop on my feet allows you to clinch your boots or feet around the tree and thus your weight acts as a brake going up the tree islanders use this technique to collect coconut..when my Arthritis wasn't bad I loved climb trees I still do but the trees I pick have branches lol.Peace Pops Bushcraft .
God has a plan for you❤️
This is the best thing on UA-cam 👍
thank you for keeping it real
Miss you guys ❤️
hey guys i climb the kind of trees all the time. the best way to climb them is not only using your feet and hand but use your feet hands and inner thighs on the tree. basically just shimmy up it
Yes that makes it much easier, but not a challenge!
+backwoodsboy Agree...the hug and shimmy technique is what I would do if I was a kid. Maybe some gummy tennis shoes would work better for grip for that hanging style.
So much for evolution. ;-)
+WoodlandChaplain I just need practice! I swear I still eat bananas and scratch my head.
havin a beer feeling pretty good about this video!
+Outdoor Adventurecraft You gonna try it?!
Black Owl Outdoors Too fat. Lol. Strong but also large. Wife's cooking too good and beer too tasty.
Was just really feeling your vibe!! Lol.
Have to ditch the shoes when climbing branchless, especially boots that have no flexibility. Great attempt though, would love to see you come back at this challenge.
Hey ! :-) Great Video ! Very nice tree climbing ! Atb Martin from Austria
I'm inspired! keep it up!
Crouching tiger hidden Krik ~Peace~
+Zed Outdoors Li Mu Bai
I wonder if it would have helped if you tried bare-foot? Though, that could have been pretty brutal on them.
+Quatra05 Haven't yet. But I plan to practice with various techniques. I need to build up my feet.
Work on it and I want to see an update after you feel good about your technique.
+Jon Shelton Thanks I plan to. I think I can definitely improve.
What need would u have to climb a tree that size?
Brave and strong ;) Very cool Krik.
+Waldhandwerk - BushcraftSurvival Ha thanks Sepp.
will snow pikes shoe attachment help at all?
I have try so much today💪💪💪💪💪💪
Lol! Good for you.
what brand and style of hat do you wear krik
anything for fun. my brother in law is Guatemalan an he flew up a tree climbing like that and hacked at it with a machete from top to bottom
It's nice to try :) Maybe without your boots or with a turn of cordage around your feet if you don't know the technic. However, nice try :) bye
This is great! Who needs a gym when we have all of nature to exercise in?
Check out videos by "MovNat" such as "The workout the world forgot."
I think Robert Frost has a poem about swinging on birches.
+Al Mollitor My thoughts exactly.
Ha! Nice!!
As humans are legs aren't really adapted for climbing any more, you need to utilise your upper body for this and instead of using the ball/toes of your foot to grip the tree you could try using the inside of you food? sort of use the natural shape of your foot to 'hug' the shape of the tree. hiking/walking boots are also bad cause they're too flexible but bulky
What was that? hahahahahahahaha cooooool. I thought you were just playing and would use one of these techniques with belt.
who taught you to climb trees?
Just curious, how old are you two?
Race you jk lol, I do still hold my school record for rope climb 50 ft . that was 20 years ago though .
you can see the same idea in the cartoon film 'mulan'' where its just army training..of intelligence ..but in fact the african and south american natives knew it before anyone else....our wild ancestors knew a lot of stuff we dont know..its always worth studying what they used to do..in some places still do..we could lose all our technology. its worth it weight in gold then. but if we lose everything..then its what you can do spiritually that counts. and nothing else.
Get a pair of corks!
A fun watch no doubt! I think as others have said, barefoot next time. Clear the are around the tree to male sure of nothing painful to land on.
Lol. This must work better if you're not 6'4'' and weigh 260 like me! Hey, which one of you is the older brother?
+SmokyMountainOutdoorsman Stony is older.
Easy squeezy. Put honey on your butt. Dance in front of bears, shake your booty, and point in their direction (dah-dah-dah-dah, nyeah-nyeah-nyeah) ... and run like hell and fly up that tree without a problem, limbs or no limbs. Bear will never be able to climb up with all your (----) covering the tree bark.
I'm sure you get this question so much you're tired of answering it, but what boots are those?
I believe they're roland boots, he made a video about them not too long ago
Maxumum99 Thanks man!
Yep they're the Roland from Chaco.
+Justin Ammerman anytime slime!
ninja climbing claws perhaps?
just climb it like its a rope, thats what i do and ive only climbed like 10 trees with no branches
should have been titled "how not to climb a tree"
Bare feet brother that is the key.
+sackett68 I need to build up to that. I don't think I want to bail out of a tree and land in bare feet. But we will revisit this in a future video. Stay tuned!
Watch a bear climb a tree
Is much bether to climb in trees without shoes
Should've tried it barefoot, might've had better luck
Just use the belt technique...
What are you doing? You're supposed to take a piece of bungee cord, wrap it around the tree, and straddle your way up using the cord as support. Ever seen in gilligans island how they climb up palm trees to go get coconuts?
c8.alamy.com/comp/EBMMWC/a-man-climbing-a-palm-tree-using-traditional-method-of-a-rope-loop-EBMMWC.jpg
That's the easy way and not a challenge!
try it barefoot. your shoes are what's giving you fits.
dam spell check para cord not pharmacies
take off the boots and youd go a lot further man. Good shit though
Well your not part monkey that's for sure haha
Your shoes seemed to slip all the time providing no real grip and hindering your effort. Try shoes with a more soft rubber sole so they grip better or if your feet are OK with it go barefoot and spit on your hands and soles of feet so they go tacky this will help grip lol was a fantastic effort though
+Black Owl Outdoors lol look forward to it
What is the purpose of climbing a tree of that size? Good try!
Try it barefoot, works wat better
the trick is to concentrate and build chakra in your hands and feet
+Scott Babcock Show us
+Scott Babcock thanks so much for sharing!
I study Hinduism and you cannot build chakra you can only build chi chakras already exists on parts of the body not just hands and feet .. what you mean is open your chakras so that energy may flow correctly. And he not so heavy and restricted.
This practice is often learned or felt thru sensitive ppl. By just saying it he will never understand.
You have to curl your legs around it, this is not a palm tree you know.. Maybe your method would work better if you tried barefeet.
nope.thats not how to do it.get two strips [wide] thick cloth.stirrups or cups or yank handles [each]. with the bottom one around the tree you''walk''yourself up..with rest intervals..with the other too even women can climb even palm trees..it too goes around the tree..you use it as required in time with the other..for arm power..thusly you get all four quarters of muscles engaged with no slipping back. i saw black men climbing a huge tree looking for honey years ago..think it was an attenborough programme..the native insisted women were incapable of climbing trees..which is true without assistance women generally cant..got no strength in our chests and arms.. and our point of gravity is much lower....so i worked out how it could be done....by anyone.
+Gerry Stevens You don't get good at anything with practice. I will get better with this technique. I think I may have seen that same program too. I love his stuff.
Need a better tree.
take your shoes off I. I lol do it bare feet like a boss
you would have made a lot more progress if you were barefoot
+Bean just watch the filipinos climbing coconut trees
take off your boots!
What the poop
+Mitch Blank That was my technique. The poop climb. Hoping to improve on it. Ha
+Black Owl Outdoors Lol!
comedy. nice try though.
nice....try going barefoot :)
never grow up!
take your shoes off I. I lol do it bare feet like a boss
