We’re still semi-built for tree climbing

I’m guessing you don’t want to wear cleated shoes when climbing the tree given the fact you don’t wear shoes because part of the answer is they can damage the trees.

Next question, have you reached High enough to feed the Brachiosaurus’??

A lot of the trees where I live have rough bark, so I like to wear these funky toe shoes for my climbing. They give most of the benefits that barefoot climbing offers and also provide an adequate amount of protection to your feet.

Bare feet for the win. I climb trees religiously and Bare feet have toes that can grip.

How many fingers do you have to hold yourself with? 20! I realized that sometime as a child, even when I was too shy (or afraid of injuries and whatever) to walk barefoot in the street, tree climbing was one of the things I did barefoot (besides playing in the sandbox and frolicking in the swimming pool). I still love to climb trees barefoot, though I'm certainly not particularly good at it. I admire people like you who seem to do it so easily.

There is a shoe out there that does, in theory at least, allow you to climb up a tree easily but it’s extremely damaging to the tree. It’s main use is for power workers who have to scale telephone poles in order to perform maintenance and/ or repair on the power lines. My dad used to have a pair. They had huge spikes on the bottom and toe edge of the shoe. Just thought I’d share that little tid bit.

I imagine it’s also that bare feet have more control and would be less prone to slipping with being able to articulate all part of the foot

Climbing shoes wouldn’t damage the tree and I think they would give you a better grip

when i climbing the metal poles my feet like stick to the poles

Yes, our feet can sense where to step next in those situations....

skin shapes to the bark and gives more grip also toes pan out to give more surface area and more balance.

microtextures is the perfect way to describe knowing how to climb a tree. Your body automatically adjusts to make it so that you can climb, since we're just MADE to climb. I think it's instinctive or intuitive. humans are made to do this

Backpacked Brasil and the natives in Amazona climb huge trees like this barefoot and fast!!! Right idea💡

Thankuuuu

I also used to climb these tree barefoot when I was young with cipó to the top and slide most of my way down. We couldn't afford fancy ropes and safety gear but I loved to climb trees. Enjoy while you can 🙃😉 🍃 I lie your vids💯🤗

Thanks for being easy on the figs:) I loooove your channel . Gonna subscribe, Hopefully sometime before I’m old and out of shape , I can give it a shot. Buuuuut probably not . I’m 53 and broke . 🤷🏻‍♂️what are you gonna do 😁time marches on . Stay safe Buddy👍👍

I saw your rock climbing videos and then searched tree climbing to see if that was “a thing” and I landed back on your channel. Nice

Thank you zen man

Fila makes the bare feet shoes but I don't know if they still do but like 10 years ago they did

So I used to climb trees with shoes but one thing I could never do was climb up the base of a tree in a frog like position I would always slip so one day o decided to take off my shoes and wow I climbed up so damn fast plus you have more balance bare foot

How do you get back down cliffs or mountains if you have a partner taking away all of the equipment as they come up?

Im an arborist and using boots will not damage the tree. Thats utter rubbish the cambium layer is a few millimetres under the bark, depending on species. We must use steel tow boots, i don't struggle with grip unless its wet or covered in growth like ivy or lichen. But to be fair our climbing technique is very different.

Fr I have so much more grip barefoot it hurts a little on some places but it’s way better than with shoes

Wish I was still in good enough shape to climb trees and mountains 😢

whenever i climb trees i find it really hard to grip onto the trunk, like its just smooth how do i climb that. also really cool video!

Aren't you worried about snakes or spiders biting you when you climb?

I always felt like skin is better at getting grip than rubber

You should go in the charpation mountains in Romania! Very cool view and I think you would like it!

I was wondering.. cheers for the answer

I hate people who walk on bare feet but you, you are not bad

Sweaty feet in more natural in those situations and also enhances the climbing. My question is,, What about the Oils we excrete from our pour system and what your findings look like in this area of your expertise. Ian. Supernatural Beings of Earth Tracking.

Ain't nobody shoes hurtin no damn trees

Me too lol in philipine

I thought everyone knew this- then again, I was born a monkey- :^

I just watched all of you video

Do you get splitters in your foots?

Who ever asked that question never had a proper childhood. Lol.

I’ve been watching your videos and I’ve always wondered how the hell do you get down once you get up

How was ur first time climbing

How many times do you get scared 😱 😨

He said micro texture lol

You may or may not have done this before or have received a lot of comments about it but do you have a compilation of every single time you fallen and if you don’t could you possibly make one as a full video? If you have done it would you like to direct me towards it video name only please no links.

As someone who don't wear shoes very often. I find shoes somewhat overrated. I cann run faster without shoes than with shoes. Idk maybe it's the way i grow i mean i barely used any shoes in my day to day Life.

Yeah.

DAMAGE TO THE TREEE?!!! You lost me there buddy

That’s the Same with those little puzzle mats

Snakes!! Koalas!! You need shoes

Do you climb alone??

It's all about those micro textures bruuuuuh

Where are you guys?

How is ever your GoPro filling off just curious

Do you ever get injured

He is perfect thts what i think

Where is this?!?

1. Those are not shoes 2. Those are not climbing shoes 3. They make super thin climbing shoes that offer some protection and more grip for the weirdos.

In Malaysia kids like to climb the tree at de age of 7

Have you ever had a rock fall on you when rock climbing

I don't mess with anything that has the word strangler in it.

where even are you? its gorgeous!

So how do you come down and how do you get your equipments back?

Unfortunately for me when I climb trees I have to use logger boots so my chainsaw doesn’t claim a toe

Would climbing shoes work?

Try climbing shoes they should work for sure 😅

Honestly I climb oak trees with shoes

Why not wear climbing shoes? Seems like a safer bet considering you can’t chalk up your feet throughout the climb like you can with hands.

I’m new here but how do you get down?

i found the infj

I just saw the pitan video and I was wondering how do you get it out

I'm NOT an expert, but I would have probably said that We didn't have shoes in the past when we climbed, or any kind of gear for climbing. Besides, animals climb very well and they don't need shoes 🤷‍♂️😁

We climbe tree it hard some time we try slippers i almost slip

Have you ever free climbed anything?

Nice 😊

Lost me with the last one.

Why barefoot climbing is better? Because is natural !

Going back to monke

Foot fungus for you

Return to monke

How to be safe from tree snakes

What about the tree to your feet

Why would shoes have more traction? Think about hummable evolved for years and years so we can walk the best we can

Three words. Wood impaling you.

Microtextures...

But would it be fine to use gloves

You can be more open to diseases though

"One of the most asked questions when I do a video about tree climbing is"... Why do I dress like someones menopause ridden aunty?

Have u fall

That tree is going to outlive you, your kids and their children… pretty sure he doesn’t care

Don't you get splinters

Dude who can’t club a tree I’m 12 an even I can climb a tree lmao
