In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Look for any safety hazards or things you'll need to climb around, like knots, rotting spots, insect infestations, bark damage, and holes. This technique works best on steep vertical trees that you're able to get your arms around. Remove your sock and shoes. Place your arms around the tree, pushing your palms into the backside and gripping it with your palms and fingers. Lean back a little, and let the weight of your body hang slightly on your arms. While keeping a good grasp on the tree, bend your knees slightly and jump high enough to get your legs up to grip the tree with the soles of your feet. Your feet should be horizontal, gripping the width of the tree, rather than vertical, like in the front-foot technique.  Keep your knees bent and your hands in place. Support your body weight with your legs and arms. When you're in this crouched position with knees and arms bent, you'll look a lot like a frog, which is where the technique gets its name! Using your thighs and hips, extend your legs as if you were standing up. Keep your hips and chest close to the tree, and move your hands up the trunk, one at a time, as you straighten out your body. Always keep your grip on the tree with one hand as you let go with the other one. Supporting yourself with your arms, pull your body up and push off the trunk with your feet. As soon as you extend your legs, bring your knees up while gripping the tree with your hands. You will look sort of like a frog jumping! Grasp the tree again with your feet, squeezing the trunk as you support yourself.  Your hands, arms, and chest should work in tandem with one another, and your feet should stay close to the tree when you pull and hop. At this point, you may want to rest for a moment and catch your breath before your next hop! Once you are back in the crouching position, extend your legs again, bringing you higher up the tree's trunk. Move your hands up the trunk and grip it. Then pull and hop. Climb the tree slowly, taking your time and focusing on each new movement. Lower your hands, one by one, as if you were climbing down a ladder. As you descend, slide your feet carefully down the bark, never losing contact with the trunk. Unless you have really tough soles, the bottoms of your feet are going to get a bit roughed up as you do this! Your descent should be made in slow, sequential movements and done carefully, especially when you are high up in the tree.
Summary: Inspect the tree closely. Place your hands on the sides of the tree. Jump onto the tree, placing the soles of your feet on either side of it. Grip the trunk with your feet and push yourself up with your legs. Pull up with your arms and slide your feet up quickly the trunk. Repeat these movements until you have climbed up the tree. Descend the tree slowly, one hand at a time.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Even in the summer, Ireland can be chilly. If you’re traveling during the winter, you will definitely need warm clothing. Rain is common in Ireland, so bring hats, raincoats, and hoodies. Make sure to bring a hat, jacket, socks, scarf, gloves, and comfortable shoes, along with your outfits and undergarments. Bring clothing that can be mixed and matched to avoid overpacking. Buy thermal clothing if you are traveling during winter. You can choose to pack or bring things like toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner, razors, and other items. You will need to bring your passport, an adapter (Ireland does not have the same outlet as the US and other countries), health insurance information, your wallet, and driver’s license.  You should also bring any necessary medication in the bottles they were prescribed in. Make a list and check it off as you’re packing. You should bring at least one guide book with you. Guidebooks help you find attractions, eating recommendations, helpful information, some history, and advice for accommodation and travel if you need it. Some guidebooks are general, and some are made specifically for certain audiences. For example, you can find a guidebook made for students, but you can also find one aimed at families. Some guidebooks to choose from are Rick Steve’s Ireland 2016 (or whatever year you’re traveling), Lonely Planet Ireland, and Frommer’s Guide to Ireland. Backroads Ireland is a guide that comes with a map and gives advice for visiting the hidden gems of Ireland. It is helpful to keep a map or GPS system with you, especially if you’re driving. If you’re staying in one city, you can find a map of the city. If you’re traveling throughout Ireland, it is good to buy two maps. One map should be a map that is focused on roads. The second map should focus on site markings. Smartphones usually come with a GPS, but it can be very expensive to use your phone if you are outside of your own country. You can exchange your currency for Irish currency once you arrive in Ireland, but it is good to have some cash with you before you arrive. 100 euros or pounds is recommended. Northern Ireland uses the pound sterling, and the Republic of Ireland uses the euro. Get the currency for whatever part of Ireland you will be using first. After that, it is better to withdraw money from ATMs (cashpoints). The exchange rates vary a lot, and you get the best deal when you use your debit card to exchange money rather than going to an exchange place in the airport. Make sure to let your bank know where you will be traveling before you go. Many banks will allow you to set a travel notice on your phone. If you don’t, your bank may think your card was stolen and cancel it.
Summary:
Pack warm clothing. Pack any other necessary items. Get a guidebook. Buy a map or GPS system. Exchange your money for the proper currency.
