							Being a bush kid from Australia, one of my favourite past times happens to be climbing trees. It's just something the kids would do - go out and climb any and every tree they could like little monkeys.
 
 Does anyone else like climbing trees (or buildings or whatever, I don't discriminate)? Share your tree climbing stories, particularly ones where you've fallen.
 
 I have a falling story to share, but it's a secret for now

							I love climbing trees! It's such a underrated activity... I mean, how can someone not like climbing a tree? It's your primal past-time people! 
 PS. When I was about 7 years old, me and my mates were climbing and in one moment I grabbed a branch which snapped,resulting in one broken arm. Thankfully, it was a left arm. My mother was pissed at me, hehe...

							I tried to be tricky and jump from one branch to another a short distance away. With walls, you have something to counter your momentum. With trees, you don't. Suffice to say I hit the branch, swung under and fell (I think it was something like 3m, but then again, I did hit my head  ) and landed on the ground with a puff of dust. ) and landed on the ground with a puff of dust.
 
 Magic moment apparently.

							I enjoy climbing hills but it's not so much because I enjoy climbing, I just want to see what's behind it.

							I used to have calluses all over my little hands from climbing trees. We had a lot of good climbing trees in my neighborhood. I still get the urge to climb a tree when I see a good one.

							I have a nice scar on the back of my thigh because you should never climb a mimosa tree in cowboy boots.
 
 We had an awesome tree that was perfect for climbing until it started rotting and then it blew over.  But, we planted a new one that's the same kind (tulip tree), and maybe my babies or grandbabies can climb it!

							I climbed a very large tree one time.  Then my brother pushed me out and I landed face first onto the cement.

							I used to climb trees all the time, especially great big ones with the intent of putting up a rope swing.  Man I love rope swings.
