When I read the book, "The Wild Trees" by Richard Preston I became so inspired by Steve Sillett! He is now a professor at Humbolt University in California and continues his research to this day! So inspiring! He explains how he learned to go up, and just as importantly how to come down! Very interesting!!!
I hope you can visit them one day. I just spent a week in them and it was incredible. I found myself willing to wake up hours before I normally would on a vacation to go hike and explore. The feelings I experienced were amazing. For much of the time I was the happiest I had ever been. I focused on the forest and my problems weren’t around at all. I was more comfortable spending money and having a great vacation instead of being cheap because my financial anxiety was calmed so much. Having to leave was emotionally painful. It took what should’ve been a 4 hour drive back to San Francisco a into a 12 hour one because I had to stop at each park to get myself to leave. It is the most profound experience I have ever had on earth and I’m honestly in a depressive episode because of it lol Go if you can soon. Hopefully climate change won’t screw them up
Sophia Stiles ive discovered science here when we got a new subject science i thought it was a boring thing and i realized science is like scientist my mind changed that day i love scince ☺
My jaw literally dropped, I think I almost wanted to cry. No seriously, mind literally blown. This morning in my biology class my teacher said there are trees growing on top of red wood trees. I didn’t believe her/thought I misheard so I wrote on my notes just “plants growing on redwood trees”,
If teachers were allowed to teach what and how they wanted (within reason) it would not be that way. Currently, they are restricted as to which text books to use and what topics to cover. Usually (almost always) for financial reasons.
Freeda Peeple you are the one we needed. Thanks for saying the sad truth... You know what’s worse? A lot of those books are filled with small errors and misinformation. Teacher use those books...
Guess you haven't learned that not everything on RUclips is true and or real. You are the only one that can do your own research to get the real facts that benefit your knowledge and understanding in or outside of school. Hopefully since it is 2yrs later, you have learned something, LOL
Actually, the most important thing is to search for more than one link. Wikipedia is filled with errors, RUclips and TV is filled with fake news, etc. You have to learn how to search for truth, not accept the first sentence you hear when you watch a video on RUclips. Be wiser than those who thinks they are wisest. Search more and be more informed (^~^) Mon meilleur conseil est d’utiliser Google Translate seulement pour avoir une idée générale d’un texte. Use more tactics to prevent yourself from reproducing someone else’s misinformation and help others that can’t access truth/won’t accept it as it is to be more informed with a better source of information.
No no, not the real plants. I mean fake scientific names for a year or people as "Nineteen eighty-sevenus" "Redwoods enthusiastus" etc. My favorite is "Friendus ride-alongus." :)
There is a huge jackfruit tree in a temple in my village, interesting thing is that it carries one normal sized banyan tree and macaranga peltata tree along with other vegetation. That is two big trees growing on a huge tree. Amazing to see...
Informative and interesting, but a little puzzling in a couple spots. The fact that this guy was so young and his work so dangerous, but everything was being stated in a very somber past-tense tone made me think that he died by falling out of a tree or something. And what's with the Abe Lincoln cameos?
I highly recommend Richard Preston's New York Times best selling book "The Wild Trees," which tells a very detailed account of Stephen Sillett's exploration of the redwoods.
Hard to tell whether this comment is cynicism or outright anti-environmentalism. Fortunately there are millions of conscientious people who care about the redwoods.
My son is teased for standing on our porch doing birdcalls. This video made me even more determined to not pull him inside, but to move him to a world full of trees and birds.
There is a book specifically on Steve Silette and his tree climbing adventures, as well as the other people who helped him along the way. It is called The Wild Trees by Richard Preston, and it is a phenominal read, if this video has peaked your interests I suggest you get reading ;)
I watched an excellent program on this but can't remember if it were NOVA or another PBS special. When it's real and not animated, the effect it has on you is incredible.
+jamie mcewan Didn't you watch the video? A branch is part of a redwood growing from the same redwood. In this case, a completely different tree, such as a Douglas fir, can grow from a redwood, and the fact that such origins are possible is amazing. That's what the video is trying to highlight.
In Malaysia, there is a myth by the Iban natives of Borneo saying that on top of the tualang trees (third tallest tree species) the monkey fairies build longhouses like those the humans build on ground. There's a whole new world up there.
"So leap for it." I'm not sure if 99+% of people should ever take this literally because of the possible damage people can do up there to both the tree and everything living on it [not to mention the danger for themselves of course]. Since there are now drones/quadcopters no one needs to go up there themselves.
That's only kinda true. The rover on the moon and mars is extremely limited in it's capacity. There's nothing like first person experience. I'm just saying
When I was growing up you couldn't keep me out of trees. One of the games we'd play was starting at one side of a woods and travelling to the other side without touching the ground. My son on the other hand never showed an interest in climbing trees. In fact he's frightened of going on a shed roof to shingle. Some are drawn I guess.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Abe did not issue a distinguished award for the title of "Expert in the Ecology of the Tallest Trees on Earth and the Rich Diversity of Life in Their Crowns" though I will admit that is a catchy title. Mostly because I'm pretty sure that award does not exist and also I'm kinda sure Abe was dead. Edit: Unless a Zombie gave it to him. Then this all makes perfect sense.
I'm just proud to see it takes someone from Pennsylvania - a state with lots of woods and trees to climb - to finally climb to the top of an old Coast redwood in California.
Death: Slumberus permanentus, might be the best and most accurate scientific name I've ever witnessed (also Death seems like a pretty chill duderino, waving and all... I'm sure it's not that bad at all!)
Imagine how many loggers took down redwoods and got to see all this life and didn’t give a thought about it, that’s so odd to me how different someone’s perspective could be
+ชาลี บัวพร Baby earthworms are very small and can be carried by several animals inadvertently as well as carried by strong wind currents[mostly during storms].
Just think how many talents future generations won't have because our children are not allowed to climb trees in that way... Insurance policies, irresponsible parenting, safety B.S., plenty of stuff that keeps young men from exploring new worlds. You are only allowed to explore if you first "pay" (of course it is always about money) the right equipement, but who invests $500 to test if you would stick to that hobbie or not? Society rules are becoming our own prisons...

Steven was more interested in tree branches than the migrating birds piloting a commercial jet propelled aircraft.
Ghost Of Razgriz aw f*ck
He spoke with the lorax though
What a shame
Bird pilots? Cool
😂😂😂
a whole ecosystem on a single tree...neat.
Daniel Mbaabu that's what I was thinking!

This was oddly inspiring.
Yeah 😂

That's where grown men get that high pitch scream when bungee jumping.
I love all the fake Latin names! Even for the Grim Reaper. lol
they aren't fake(except for the reaper)

It was near Gettysburg which featured a prominent battle in the Civil War.

No
Why waste time Reading about Trees when eventually we gonna Cut them Down!
Hard to tell whether this comment is cynicism or outright anti-environmentalism.

Great book!
that Slumberus Permanentus got me lol
But how did he get down 😟
Parachute
The same way he got up, duh.
That's the hardest part 😊😊

why tho
Idk

3:13 that "thank goodness" get me😂😂
The "species's" names were great!!
He saw the beauty where no one else thought to look. We all should thank his grandmother.

that is one amazing story! what a lucky pair of kids! I bet their grandmother is very proud!
Amazing as always
lol at the little Death character waving. Fantastic animator.
I watched an excellent program on this but can't remember if it were NOVA or another PBS special. When it's real and not animated, the effect it has on you is incredible.
What a wonderful grandmother they had!
This is one of the best animation evveerrr! Great work, Ted!
You mean to tell me creatures in the wild live in trees, baffling.
How many times have you seen a tree growing from another tree?
ObsidianEagletalon isn't that just called... a 'branch'
jamie mcewan or "nature" sorta like natural

how many trees in your backyard has berry shrubs and voles digging into the SOIL at the top?
very calm n peaceful video. well made.
‘Friendus ride-alongus’
LOL Cracked me up.
wow that is a very efficient driving route.
In Malaysia, there is a myth by the Iban natives of Borneo saying that on top of the tualang trees (third tallest tree species) the monkey fairies build longhouses like those the humans build on ground.
There's a whole new world up there.
Tiny forests on top of individual trees in the forest..........Wow.
Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening
I love facts and info this is one of the best channels for it
Something about the reaper's scientific name being Slumberus Permanentus made me cackle
Utterly amazing!

Beautiful story
love your videos!!!
great information
magnificent narration
This is like what I always imagine when I think of the World Tree (in games and mythology). I really want to learn about them now :)
Climbing up is easier than down. Was expecting to hear he had to be rescued by helicopter after he got to the top.
2:08 that is why I love these videos!)) Making science fun.
god dammit
these guys must have HUGE balls
This was an awesome video. Why does it have such a few views? And not 1 million something?
Ted ed is the plan to make me knowledgeable
1:39 hahaha friendus ride-alongus XD
I love the animation of birds migrating on planes !!!
Thanks!!!!Excellent vid ! 🌳🌲🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳
whats the background music?
Steven: Hey wanna climb a redwood tree with your bare hands?
Marwood: yeah sure
I had no clue... Nice video!
so much more than wood! mucho más que sólo madera!
Absolutely fascinating and surprising! And lots of good humor along the way.
But wait--one thing: Lichens are creatures? (0:40 to 0:46)
God..even listening to this makes me nervous!
This is because that is;
This is not because that is not.
This and that:
You are in me
Because I am in you;
We are 1
Because everything is interbeing.
Amazing!
This was really cool.
Friendus-ride-alongus
I love this 💕💕
Man, I am so inspired
Nice and thanks.
Places we havent really reach yet:
1. The space
2. The deep sea
3. Top of trees
you sure?
Rekindled our Curiosity & Love of the Mother Nature & learn how we can Protect Them! ♥️🌷🕯
Triple canopy jungles would blow that dudes mind.
Good friends will tell you not to climb the tree. Best friends will tell you 'Eff it, I'm joining'.
I never knew Death has a scientific name. hahaha
A bird in a bush on a branch of a tree growing from a tree.Yay!
and why does abe lincoln keep shaking his hand? I feel like I'm having a stroke.
Leaping from tree to tree is also known as Leaping to a conclusion - your own.
Great video! Who knew there was a micro ecosystem in the sky....and on a branch! Nature is fansinating !!!
remind me of the world tree in hxh
..anyone?
That's what it's based off! I pretty much loved the reference. Let's hope there's another world outside our map, Eh?
p hill got you haha
How earth worm get up there.
Maybe a bird carried it up there for food.
Jesus.
Charlie Collier No, it's Jegus.
+ชาลี บัวพร Baby earthworms are very small and can be carried by several animals inadvertently as well as carried by strong wind currents[mostly during storms].
Just a guess, but perhaps in winter when the trunk is wet and the air cool the earthworms can burrow up the old gnarled trunk.

alsoTed: Uses feet measurements
Wonderful!!

not when your 17-19.
every kid who wants to and his parents arent watching can climb a tree dude o.9
*_He climbed so high he met Abraham Lincoln at the end._*
yes a sort of dirt forms in trees up high
