Don’t climb big trees

Alexandoy

Pathfinder
This is the advice of one native tribesman in a forest with a campsite at the foot of the mountain. He said that big trees are inhabited by 2 things – natural and supernatural. The natural are the insects like ants and spiders that can harm you. Sometimes there’s also a snake although it’s rare. And for the supernatural, there are invisible creatures that inhabit big trees and if you harm the tree, those creatures can do you harm as well. The advice is to be prudent when inside a forest because you don’t know what’s in store for you.

I would probably advise against climbing anything if you are like me. I might have gotten a little better balance and things throughout the years but I still feel like a stumbling fool most of the time. But yes, always be safe when climbing.
