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.

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.

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

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.

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....

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

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

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💯🤗

[deadringer-cultofdeathratt]

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

[yohansharp]

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

[CountfilmsTV]

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

[ringofdeath]

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

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

[Landinijake]

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
