HUGE tree nets with Andy Lewis - Modern day tree forts 

Check out our new store! hownot2.store/

I'm almost 50...my Dad brought home about 2000 sq feet of cargo net from a play ground his company was re-doing when I was 12. My brother and I strung it through an enormous Sycamore and Pecan tree that were growing in our yard. Our friends would come over and we would play tag in the trees and across the roof of the barn that was under some of the limbs. The rule was that you could not touch ground...5 or 6 of us could play at the time. Some of the best times of my life.

Pretty sure Andy is a mad scientist.

A video about how to build proper treenet anchors to last would be awesome!!

Started with my first little "space net" / "tree net" in my back garden, cause of your vids! Thanks!

I just love it! I imagined doing this for years. Hope to get that chance soon.

That guy is clearly insane. I've never met him, but I like him already!

im so glad that tv is a thing of the past and today i can watch a grown man explaining his spiderwebtreehouse to me and walking on his roof if i want entertainment

That is an incredible amount of work and material. If I heard correctly he estimated that one tree contained 100,000 ft of paracord. At $75 per 1000 ft spool that is $7,500 just for the paracord!

I NEED to see more of this!!!

Did the video about making a tree net from scratch ever happen? I can't find it

Just inspiring! Once again! Love what you doing/sharing! Please hold the Line ...🖖🏻

Wow, that treenet looks awesome. I would love to have the option to build something like that, but I badly don't own a tree. So I might have to build some indoor solution

Awesome. Nesting birdie made my day

Super cool episode thanks! When Andy say 1 spool for 10 by 10 net, is that a 1000 spool size he referring too? thanks!

Once again I had a brilliant idea that someone else already beat me to.

Nice how transparent your revenues/expenses are displayed on your website. 😃👍🏻

life changing video. thank you !!!!

Thanks so much for making these amazing videos! I'm gonna build one in my yard. I ordered some paracord. What kind of rope should we use for the perimeter? Nylon? Polyester? Looks like you all use retired climbing ropes... I don't think we have access to that many so we need to order something inexpensive but safe. Thoughts?

Heres an idea!! Have you thought about doing a break test with the whoop slings? I'm interested to see if they slip at all and where they tend to break.

"life safety tips from ANDY LEWIS" 🤣👍

This is so awesome.

This is cool

A new dream ty ❤❤❤

Free Firewood you cut it you keep it That is super cool

Feels like the spiders scene in LOTR.

How many years your treenet?

If one of these were built in the woods. Would you have to worry about wild animals inhabiting it?

If I hadn’t seen this video and just drove by I would’ve thought a methed out tweeker lived there. Who else would tie thousands and thousands of knots in a tree? Lol

In christian culture it is a sign of Gods blessing on your house when a dove nests there the dove representing the holy spirit

I Let the ads play, so they can get paid. Just another way to help these guys out.

I really want to know the story of how your neighbors tree got weaved!

what a material used?

Buckminister Fuller wouldve loved this. 😁😁😁

Tree: "fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!"

Isn’t that becuase it’s polyester. Seems like the nylon is perfectly fine but poly paracord gets fucked in the sun

seriously. how is this not completely destroyed by birds and squirrels. im sure it gets a little but we cant have a basketball net at our place. how does it survive

Could you put a lag bolt through a branch? And use that for ancor?

Me the sky net and a blunt in a forest

Well... much less sketch than the last one... this is almost a how too...

Be careful though, not all paracord are created equal...Not saying dont click the link, just do some research and dont get the Chinese cord...Most paracord coming from there isn't mil spec

My phone is struggling to get out of 144 p

Cottonwood > Aspen for treehouses/nets.

Do you think andy would start a cult or a religion?

man, what is that audio balancing? holy shit the vid was quiet so I had to turn it up and then my eardrums blew out from the outro jingle at about 14:00.

first

That’s gonna be a huge mess for whoever has to cut down that tree. Enjoy it while it lasts. You’d be better off learning some tree climbing techniques and removing it yourself. Any arborist is gonna charge a fortune to remove that. Buy a pair of spurs and a cheap harness with side rings and send it

As an arborist, this is all shit.

I made my own "crazy net" ! I'd share my photo if I knew how! Please message me! I have a couple of questions I'd like to ask you... if you don't mind :)
