LOL. You obviously missed out on all that, growning up in
Brooklyn. Young boys, approximate ages 8-12, love to climb trees
(or at least used to). Many now just stick their noses in to cell
phones or game machines. Same age group still does that (climb
trees) around here.

Me and a friend built many tree forts during those years. That
was the fun thing to do in summer in addition to "playing army."

The "expert tree climbers" of today that work for tree companies,
especially the ones that climbs a tree and tops it off down to a
certain level, ARE those same kids all grown up but never lost
the love of climbing trees.

For them, it's a win-win situation. Still get to climb trees plus
now get paid for it.
