How to climb a tree! For ages 6 to 14.

Now, as you probably know, there are many trees there are leafy trees, tall trees, and pine trees, all of which you can climb. I am an expert at tree climbing because I am a tiny human, you call it a child.

Pine trees. Pine trees are usually fun to climb when they are, tall, not sappy, not twiggy (that means so many branches your hair dies), and full of room. You should put on gloves to protect your hands. Wear jeans and a T-shirt.  Stay close to the trunk of the tree and pick healthy fat branches to stand on. Why not? Oh because the branch will break, your heart will rip out of your chest, you will fall 30 feet and break your bones and die. If you are lucky or superman, you might survive.
 This is a perfect tree.
 This is a do not climb tree.
Leafy trees. They should have: a thick ball shape, no birds nest or bees nests. Wear jeans unless you want scrapes. Leafy trees are different because you can climb branches that are  far away from trunk! Usually they are 30 feet you should only climb 25 to be safe from thin breakable branches.
This is a good tree to climb.
 This is a bad tree to climb.
Tall trees: This type usually has less branches, but bigger branches. only climb about 10 feet or you could get stuck. You can wear anything really, you could bring a camera because they are good for photoshoots. To climb, get a ladder or a kind sibling. Hug the branch or trunk to stay on or find a balance for your size. I hope you liked this blog, and enjoy climbing trees!
