Let’s face it. When we were all kids before the internet came (long before digital times), we all used to try and climb the biggest tree we could find and climb up all the way to the top!

But what if you don’t have that luxury, and you had to climb up a near vertical trunk, like a coconut tree?
Well check this guy out! He will teach you How To Climb A Coconut Tree!
How To Climb a Coconut Tree! The Solomon Islands Way

I’m not going to give this a go anytime soon. I don’t think my travel insurance would cover this!

He joked and said ‘this was his first time’. Ha ha!
