Africa

[DBT]

Just a little plug for an expedition we are embarking on in Jan 2013. 4500kms, 5 climbers , 2 camera guys lots of trees, a tonne of culture and an amazing story to go with it.

Just truly a fantastic thing to be doing, what you dudes are doing is absolutely awesome in my books a road trip in some cool trees and culture to boot. Can't wait to see the footage. We do have a Baobab tree here on the island, a couple actually. Passed it just yesterday actually and always amazed at the " upside down tree ".

Awesome trip. I would love to do something like that. Good luck and safe journey.

it's like Endless Summer, for trees! Anytime I see someone making a living with trees that doesn't involve chainsaws, chippers, or supplicating to a homeowner that needs to be slapped, I think: GOOD JOB!

Good one Speelyei, the slapped part nearly made me fall off my stool laughing but ain't that the truth. Sad but true.

I've wanted to climb a baobab after first reading The Little Prince in 2000.

One day....
