The last time I went bushcrafting in the woods, we did tree hugging. I was very sceptical at first when it was suggested, but it was not what I was expecting and what we did was probably not true tree hugging if there is such a thing. What we did was to go into the woods in pairs and one person was blindfolded and then turned around a few times to get disorientated and then taken via a non direct route to a tree, any tree will do. Then the blindfolded person had to get as much info on the tree as possible by hugging it and feeling it untill they felt that they knew the tree they were led to. Then they were led away from the tree back to where they started, via a non direct route again, then spun around again and then the blindfold was removed and the person then had to go and identify the tree they were led to. It was great fun and all six of us were able to identify their trees.
Give it a go next time you are in a woodland with someone else............Jon (tree lover)
