1. Not so ofthen (Atleast once a year) 2. Whatever I am wearing at the moment 3. I usually climb 1-3 meters, my record is 5 meters, staying up there 5 minutes (I think). 4. when I was a kid and lost my frisbee, or boomerang, or whatever up there. |

I climb them and they inspire me to write such songs as "Heal the World" and "Black or White" |

i've climed right to the top of a macrocapa tree before, when i was real young - about 7. Thats about ummm 12 metres or something? I was light then, so the small branches up the top didn't break. At the top, there was nothing but a sea of green and the blue sky, i remember it well. I've yet to experience it again..... |

You don't need to be in a tree to swing like a madman [when dancing]. But yeah, I think I've heard thoose songs. |

you're in the lead! was this in Switzerland, or where was it? what weather was it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

its dangerous yer gonna die up there. |

|

wow! beautiful tree! Is really (the nature of) New Zeeland as beautiful as everybody saids (and what I've seen of it - on pictures n stuff). It seems like some kind of paradise! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ohhh, it is! (especially when you're not there....) Its just a bit of a disadvantage, being so far away from europe... Rephlex, Warp... they've never come to NZ... But its great - only 3.6 million living in a pretty big, beautiful island! And we have th sea! (...unlike in switzerland...) What is Sweden like? Is there lots of untouched nature? Big, good climbing trees?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah. Sweden's a big country, and it has lots of different types of nature, though most of it is touched =/ There are a lot of trees in Sweden, they grow everywhere =) but the biggest ones are in the north part of Sweden. I'd love to go to New Zeeland some time, just to experience what great nature can be like. What season (around what time of the year) do you suggest me to go there? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm.... well, maybe summer is the best. We don't really have such defined seasons as in Europe (ie winter is not so cold, can be warm... summer is not so hot, can be cold..) Yeah, summer i think. There are many nice beaches, scenic parks, umm... heaps of touristy places. But also many places that no one goes to, that are just as, if not more beautiful! I'd recommend you to spend a good amount of time there (not just a week or so...) and get into the new zealand rhythm, which is kinda laid back, and take-it-easy dude attitude!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, summer is end of december thru till about february.. opposite to europe |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah... I'll maybe be able to go there in 3 years (if I'm going to stay there for a mounth or so, like you recommended), but I'm sure it'll be worth all the waiting... atleast nature doesn't destroy itself =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never... i would like to sometimes, be at the top of a tree... but i wouldn't like getting down... maybe a comfortable laid place at the top of a tree... or swimming in the air, over the trees, into the trees... you're so high child in the tree look at the world down there child in the tree you're too high child in the tree nobody'll get you down again someone must have been talking the blue men came along someone must have been talking the whole place run away child in the tree you're so high child in the tree just when the poison gets inside child in the tree you're too high child in the tree nobody'll get you down alive - the young gods, child in the tree a sad song... about dreaming? |

I love climbing trees, and take the opportunity whenever I can. It's cool having a twelve-year old nephew, because otherwise I'd get weird looks ! But climbing trees is so much fun ! I've enjoyed it since infancy |
||||||||

|
|
sounds great! you got any big trees where you live? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
none that are massive -- just ones that are enjoyable to climb ! Lots of branches - nice places where you have to hug the tree and inch your way up ! Good places to rest on a long branch and read a book! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds sweet :) you do any of your writing up in the trees? |

1. How ofthen do you climb trees? About 4 times a year on average. 2. What preferences do you have when it comes to footwear/handgear? No gloves, t-shirts rather than long sleeves- I prefer to get scratched than tangled up. I tend to wear slip on training shoes. 3. How high do you usually climb, and what is your record (high+time spent in tree)? Usually about 3 metres. For about 2 minutes. Highest was about 4/5 metres when I was younger and lighter. 4. For what reason do you usually climb trees? (select an alternative below) Last time it was because I was drunk. I fell out of the tree. I still have several splinters in my arms from it and lots of scratches. A wound that was open for 5 days afterwards is only now starting to disappear. 5. If you do not climb trees ofthen, what is the main reason for not climbing?* There were some excellent trees to climb where I last worked, but I refrained for fear of jeapordising my chances of a job once I return after my final year at university. |

I used to climb them a lot a few years ago. Was just looking at some last night and thinking it would be pretty nice to climb them. The bigger the better. I just love getting right to the top when it it swaying but safe. |

Falling out of trees!! Hehehehe |

I've got a fair amount of woods (hence, many trees) on either side of my property, so I used to climb them with regularity... but now I'm too lazy and I've lost my lust for life... lost that spark. Maybe I should go out back and climb some, it would be good for me. |
