What About Forging Climbing Claws (aka:"shukos")
Hey, everyone. Just thought about how a pair of climbing claws (and maybe some for the feet) like the ninjas had would be good to have in the woods. It's for climbing trees that would be otherwise...

Sounds like an accident waiting to happen!!! You'll never be able to climb like a squirrel. I've used tree climbers in the military and all it take's is one miss step and down the tree you go!!!! I'd...

Seen that & it's a good idea, but it seems to only work on certain sizes of trees. Was wondering about the ones that aren't so climbable like that, like the really big ones.The natives always...
