    As a kid I used to make little spots up in the trees in the woods, pretending that i was doing stuff like this.
    It was particularly easy for me because a hurricane had rolled through one summer, knocked down a bunch of trees, creating an easy "ramp" to get to the trees that weren't knocked down.
    I wouldn't mind trying this one day though.
