A Tennessee woman broke a Guinness World Record by hugging a tree in a Chattanooga park for 10 hours and 5 minutes.
Adrienne Long spent 10 hours and 5 minutes with her arms wrapped around a walnut tree at Heritage Park in Chattanooga's Brainerd neighborhood to break the previous tree-hugging record, which stood at 8 hours, 15 minutes.
Long's friend Sarah Medley, owner of Studio 59 Aveda Salon and Spa, organized activities for Long and spectators including dance, yoga and guided meditation during the attempt.
The attempt was live-streamed on the World Record Tree Hug page on Facebook.
Long's feat raised money for the local Audubon Society.
I guessing that sometime a person was put up a tree by an angry and persistent grizzly bear and was up there longer than that before he dared to come down.
She likes wood.
I like fir.
I didn’t know Rush Limbaugh was in a band.
I had/have some 100 plus year old white pine on my forest property.
The professional forester I hired to help manage it said that one then that one ect were going to die in a few years.
Dam porcupines had killed the tops.
They were marked to cut other wise they would have just died and rotten on the forest floor. All ready happens once in awhile one tree isn’t worth the effort to salvage.
I have some left I hope they stay healthy so my grand kids can see them. Impressive trees 40 plus inches at the butt.
Wow...what lunatics. They all belong in an asylum.
It’s always good to have a goal in mind.
Well, thank you very much for improving my vocabulary!
I could have gone my whole life without knowing that!
I’ll bet Hallmark doesn’t have cards for hunching.
I thought I had heard every dirty word.
That’s the beauty of Free Republic.
You learn something new every day.
Now, I’ll have to find a way to slip it into conversations.
“Have you tried the new coffee? It’s hunching good.”

The John Birch Society just released a statement condemning the event.
You are most welcome. Always glad to help. I never heard anyone consider hunch a dirty word. But each to his own.
If my fingers touch in less than 1 second,
it’s > 18” dbh and gets blue paint.
Did she wear a mask?
10 hours? That’s nothing. I expected 24 at least.
NBD... So she’s hugging the wood...
OTOH, getting a woman to hug you for ten (10) hours is noteworthy...
That’s almost as exciting as winning a butt speed wiping contest.
A great-uncle by marriage (my great-grandmother’s brother-in-law) was an Indian scout in the 19th century. I was told that once he was hiding up in a tree while some Indians held a pow-wow at the foot of the tree. I don’t know how long he had to stay up in the tree.
Did she ask the tree’s permission before she went all Joe Biden on the triunk?
Isn’t it sexual assault if she didn’t ask first?
Look at the slang dictionary.
