Sweaty Palms and Coconuts



Media_httpdbttfoghtpv_vasbg


I've watched, and held my breath, as nimble young men have scaled coconut palms with nothing but their bare hands and feet, and had the pleasure of drinking the fresh buko juice from the newly plucked coconuts. Watching those guys scamper up the tall trees left me full of admiration for their fearlessness. The guys in this video take that fearlessness to another level entirely. I was surprised to find that the palms of my hands were decidedly sweaty just watching it. (Lezenie na stožiar = Climbing the mast)


Update: It seems the original video was taken down. Here's another. And these people are doing it for fun!
