One of my favourite inexpensive handicraft hobbies to recommend to people is whittling; all you need is a cheap pocketknife and there are free sticks *everywhere*.

In many countries (sadly not the US) the author gets additional payment, the Public Lending Right, for their books being in libraries. If you feel bad about it (which you shouldn't; most authors love libraries!) and are in the US, consider helping campaign for the PLR there.

Most humans (80-90%) have a vestigial wrist tendon, the palmaris longus tendon, that doesn't really do much, although in various related species (e.g. orangutans) it is still important. If a person needs a tendon graft, this is usually the one that's used if present, since it's basically a spare.

It is a sensible fear! Lots of people use ropes and harnesses for safer climbing, and if you can find a climbing club near you, you could probably give that a try and see if it works for you.

And yes you could fall but there's so much to hold on to and when the tree sways in the wind you clasp the trunk and remember things don't have to be still to be sturdy. And when you're back on the ground that stays with you for awhile.

And all of a sudden you're enfolded in this environment, in this green place that will hold you up safely as long as you pay attention. And you can look out over the world and down at the tops of people's heads as they walk along the sidewalk and they almost never look up.
