Climbing a tree is relatively easy when it has plenty of branches and footholds for you to place your weight on. But what if it has no branches? Well, for that skill, you should check out the video below.

Of course, an obvious concern with this method is that the tree may snap on you and you could fall on your back, permanently injuring yourself or even killing yourself. We don't want that, so make sure you choose your tree carefully and if you hear any little cracks, bail immediately.

This method works best for trees with a diameter of about a foot or more, and if you become stranded in an area with plenty of coconut trees, this is an awesome way to get that water and food source down for consumption.
