Did You Know…
Posted by MiriamThe key to successful tree-clmbing is to understand that you are not pulling yourself up the tree vertically. That’s much too hard. Instead, angle your body against the tree, diagonally, while reaching your arms around the trunk, and pulling up, inch by inch. That way the plane of your body pushes into the tree, which keeps you from falling right down.
Wish I’d known that when I was 8!
