I get dizzy just looking at the pictures. I guess I'm lacking the adventure gene. I can't even understand why anyone would want to do this.

I'd kinda like to try it ... but with my luck, a branch would break. Maybe with a parachute? Lol

Sign me up! I can't explain the cool feeling I get when I do these sort of things. As long as I know I am safe, I simply don't think of the whatifs and have a wonderful time! ETA A closer look at the *stick* for a seat....I would insist on something more substantial and that would support my bum fully!

Yeah Cheryl, I was eyeing that 'seat' too!

Very interesting. Definitely for the strong at heart. When I was in my teens and 20's yes, in my mid 60's, the thrill has gone... My questions would be, who inspects the leaning tree and treehouse and how often are the ropes checked and replaced?
