>Crews brought a ladder truck to the scene, at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Stewart Street, after receiving reports of a man stuck in the upper branches of the tall tree, just after 11:30 a.m.
>The fire truck's ladder was extended to within a few feet of the man, then negotiators climbed up and are trying to speak with him.
>So far he has refused to come down and has thrown an apple at medics. The man, with a long beard and wool cap, was also seen tossing small branches, orange peels, pine cones and other materials at rescuers and claimed to be armed with a knife, Seattle Police said. He later requested a pack of Camel Crush cigarettes.
Whitest standoff ever.

It almost looks like he's cabled himself to the top of the tree.

I grew up in Humboldt County and hippies were doing that constantly in the 80s and 90s, they'd go and build a little platform in the tree with a tent and chain themselves to the tree to protest logging. One chick stayed in a tree for close to 3 years IIRC.
Guy doing the stream is alternating between trying to figure out how his camera works and saying things like "He made fort, like Bear Grylls or something."

That's because logging can and should be sustainable and when it's not people are forced to do radical things to draw attention to the injustice.

Are you talking about the Oak Grove at Cal State in Berzerkley? I used to live with the original hippy-dippy bitch who started that tree sit with her Native American roommate. Unbelievable how retarded these people are.

>Phoenix jones
Well i havent heard that name in a couple of years lol
Really no other treebros on /out/? I climb trees for fun mostly no ropes unless I'm goin for somethin super sketch or challenging. I've been up 150 ft before just me the tree and the breeze and I'll tell all you landlubbers nothing else even comes close.

Since "comfy" means "comfortable", no, I don't imagine I would be comfy if I was 80 feet up in a tree in the middle of a major city.
