How to Play Tree Catapult

Intro: How to Play Tree Catapult

Tree Catapult is an exciting game we discovered merely by accident while camping. Great way to get some to have fun. You will need at least three people and a large flexible tree, fur trees seem to be the best for this.

STEP 1: One Person Climbs the Tree About 2/3's Up

Just high enough to be able to gain a pivot point for the top of the tree to reach about 6' off the ground.

STEP 2: Have the Climber Sway the Tree Back and Forth

Do this until the remaining members can grab his feat on the trees downswing

STEP 3: Grab Climbers Feet

Once the feet are secured bring him down (with the tree) and have everyone hold on. One person at this point should grab the highest point they can on the tree. A suitable high point before the tree becomes too thin.

STEP 4: Everyone Else Lets Go!

The individual at the top should hang on tight! And then gets a good rush!

Unfortunately the only real photos I had handy were dark and did little justice
