I'm almost 50...my Dad brought home about 2000 sq feet of cargo net from a play ground his company was re-doing when I was 12. My brother and I strung it through an enormous Sycamore and Pecan tree that were growing in our yard. Our friends would come over and we would play tag in the trees and across the roof of the barn that was under some of the limbs. The rule was that you could not touch ground...5 or 6 of us could play at the time. Some of the best times of my life.

im so glad that tv is a thing of the past and today i can watch a grown man explaining his spiderwebtreehouse to me and walking on his roof if i want entertainment

That is an incredible amount of work and material. If I heard correctly he estimated that one tree contained 100,000 ft of paracord. At $75 per 1000 ft spool that is $7,500 just for the paracord!

I NEED to see more of this!!!

Just inspiring! Once again! Love what you doing/sharing! Please hold the Line ...🖖🏻

Wow, that treenet looks awesome. I would love to have the option to build something like that, but I badly don't own a tree. So I might have to build some indoor solution

This is cool

life changing video. thank you !!!!

Awesome. Nesting birdie made my day

Once again I had a brilliant idea that someone else already beat me to.

Nice how transparent your revenues/expenses are displayed on your website. 😃👍🏻

Super cool episode thanks! When Andy say 1 spool for 10 by 10 net, is that a 1000 spool size he referring too? thanks!

If I hadn’t seen this video and just drove by I would’ve thought a methed out tweeker lived there. Who else would tie thousands and thousands of knots in a tree? Lol

Free Firewood you cut it you keep it That is super cool

I really want to know the story of how your neighbors tree got weaved!

Thanks so much for making these amazing videos! I'm gonna build one in my yard. I ordered some paracord. What kind of rope should we use for the perimeter? Nylon? Polyester? Looks like you all use retired climbing ropes... I don't think we have access to that many so we need to order something inexpensive but safe. Thoughts?

@chrismuntean

really any climbing rope you can find. If your putting one up pretty high with limited branches you might want to make sure you buy a legit CE rated rope and shit like that so you clip into it. Personally I wanted a legit rope so I bought this 100ft static rope for my perimeter: amzn.to/2SfL8PJ

Feels like the spiders scene in LOTR.

If one of these were built in the woods. Would you have to worry about wild animals inhabiting it?

Tree: "fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!"

How many years your treenet?

Buckminister Fuller wouldve loved this. 😁😁😁

what a material used?

Isn’t that becuase it’s polyester. Seems like the nylon is perfectly fine but poly paracord gets fucked in the sun

Well... much less sketch than the last one... this is almost a how too...

Could you put a lag bolt through a branch? And use that for ancor?

My phone is struggling to get out of 144 p

seriously. how is this not completely destroyed by birds and squirrels. im sure it gets a little but we cant have a basketball net at our place. how does it survive

Me the sky net and a blunt in a forest

Be careful though, not all paracord are created equal...Not saying dont click the link, just do some research and dont get the Chinese cord...Most paracord coming from there isn't mil spec

That’s gonna be a huge mess for whoever has to cut down that tree. Enjoy it while it lasts. You’d be better off learning some tree climbing techniques and removing it yourself. Any arborist is gonna charge a fortune to remove that. Buy a pair of spurs and a cheap harness with side rings and send it

If someone needed a net like that removed… That would be so much fun! Such a satisfying challenge. Not that I would want to see anything like that removed, just saying as a climbing arborist who loves pruning, I disagree

first

As an arborist, this is all shit.

I made my own "crazy net" ! I'd share my photo if I knew how! Please message me! I have a couple of questions I'd like to ask you... if you don't mind :)
