What are the tree climbing skills?

1, climb up first. If you can reach the lowest branch, grab it with one hand and surround the trunk with the other. Step on the protruding part of the tree with your feet, or clamp the trunk with your legs.

2. Go to the branch. I have caught enough branches to stay. The branches are not particularly high, so I can pull myself up step by step. But when you encounter branches that are not easy to climb, please use the following skills:

① Pull-ups: Pull up the body so that the forearm and biceps brachii are attached to the branches, shake the body while pulling up, and put the elbows on the branches. If your upper body muscles are strong enough, you can pull your upper body directly to the branch. If not, you can shake your body and hook the branches with your legs by inertia.

② Swing leg method: grab the branch with both hands, shake the leg and put one leg on the branch. Wrap your arms around the branches so that your biceps are on the upper side of the trunk. Then throw the other suspended leg backward and turn your body with your biceps. So you can climb to the branch.

(3) If you really can't reach the branches, you can use shoelaces: tie a pair of shoelaces on your feet together, remember to fasten them (the distance should not affect walking), jump up close to the trunk, and clamp both sides of the trunk with your feet. At this time, the shoelace connected in the middle of the shoe increases the friction area with the tree and helps you climb the tree more stably.

3. Climb up with strong branches. After climbing a solid branch, look for the next branch and determine a safe climbing route. Try to hold branches close to the trunk, and remember that branches with a diameter less than 7.5 cm can only bear the weight of one hand at most. If you step on it with your foot, your foot should be perpendicular to the branch and step on the position where it connects with the trunk.

4. Observe the trichotomy. When climbing a tree with bare hands, three limbs should be firmly fixed on the tree and distributed in three different positions to form three fulcrums. The two feet on the branch can only be regarded as a fulcrum.

5, close to the tree. Stay as upright as possible, with your shoulders and legs in line. Holding the trunk as tightly as possible can improve stability. If the trunk is not particularly thick, use your thighs and arms to hold the trunk, so that you can catch the branches and slow down the falling speed in case of an accident.

6. Be careful of the branches that grow together. Sometimes, two branches stick close together, and bark will grow in the middle. These two branches together look very powerful. But there is no solid wood between branches, only bark, so it is not as strong as it looks.

7. Before any branch bears your weight, you should pull it hard. Sometimes seeing is not believing. Make sure that the branches are strong enough before using them.

8. Determine the highest safety position. When climbing a tree without ropes, when the trunk diameter is reduced to 10cm, it is the highest position to climb. If the branches are fragile or affected by the wind, they may have to stay in a lower position.

9. Be careful when you come down and slow down. Don't let your guard down, pay attention to safety. Under the condition of ensuring safety, try to return along the original road. In the process of coming down, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish dead branches from other potential dangers. Be sure to explore every step to be taken and pay attention to safety.
