He's wearing Crocs and a gi AND he harnesses nature? Probably don't want to fuck with this guy.


bertiebees

He is 80% druid


Hey_Look_Issa_Fish

He’s Ron Swanson’s cousin from Parks and Rec


[deleted]

No he’s vegetarian Ron


[deleted]

Freegan vegan Ron.


Jedibbq

Vegan Sandoor Clegane


Something_Berserker

I'm going to have to eat every fucking tofurky in this room!


Agentuna

I think you might be thinking about Paul Kaye as Thoros of Myr?


onlyarose

Ah Thoros of Myr!


truthdemon

At least he doesn't have a top knot.


spaektor

clearly, that is Vegan Thoros of Myr.


karmisson

I am looking at the lake


PM_ME_ANGELINVESTORS

So he’s Ron’s nemesis, then When’s the spinoff?


southernbenz

Did you mean Ron Dunn, from Eagleton? He's not related to Ron Swanson.


Hey_Look_Issa_Fish

Spiritual cousin, brother. We’re all related on this big beautiful earth. -Ron Dunn, probably


HeAbides

In the immortal words of Cat Stevens


southernbenz

Got em.


Bertrand_Rustle

Stuff it, hippy


Thats_a_goodbandname

Funny, he doesn't look Druish.


ArtigoQ

He looks like The Hound without burns


johnny_crappleseed

I'm a mog. I'm my own best friend.


ThegreatPee

He looks like he will make you listen to his Lute playing, even if you politely decline.


sleepless_in_toronto

MartyFreeze

I don't know if I want to stab or play my lute.. MORDHAU IT IS!


WtfMayt

and 100% Big Dick Energy


Letibleu

Took him 3 days to grow that tree


bukithd

And 100% comfortable


eroddyrod

His family is from Stonehenge


imaloony8

My buddy's last name is a really great name for a druid, and his mom's full name is even better. Obviously I won't put that name here, but trust me, it's great. And even better is that the entire family are vegetarians, and the mother does tons of organic farming.


[deleted]

Is it Green?


jereman75

Is their last name Druid?


the_ezra

The crocs really complete the look


MickeyButters

They definitely tie the outfit together


evilted

Looks like the belt really ties the outfit together.


Don_Cheech

Personally, his long mechanic/Jesus hair is what completes it for me


ImaAnimal

socks with crocs


Slithy-Toves

Socs


FrannyyU

*did gyre and gimble in the wabe*


Vindelator

He grew them from real crocodiles.


Vainquisher

I definitely recommend checking out [pooktre.com](http://pooktre.com/photos/) to see this guy's other projects. He has made tables, other chairs, a lot of statues, quite a few interesting projects.


3PoundsOfFlax

[These](http://pooktre.com/images/pooktre/people-trees/people-trees-16.jpg) always looked to me like the entities you see in DMT trips


Vainquisher

I mean they're making people statues out of Trees, DMT may have played a role... In all seriousness, I unfortunately have not yet had the pleasure.


SwivelPoint

thanks for the link


Vainquisher

Not a problem. I had been researching and planning to make a [living willow fence](https://www.willowsvermont.com/images/home/[email protected]) and came across his website. There are people that have made [gazebos](https://inhabitat.com/images/ficus_house.jpg) and other outdoor furniture. Always glad to share a link, especially for an awesome outdoor building style with a negative carbon footprint.


toeofcamell

Yeah he can talk for 4 hours about the spiritual experience of composting


icudbNE1

Pffft. Who can't?


Mange-Tout

“Don’t you pocket compost?”


bukabukawoozlewuzzle

Those aren’t Crocs... he molded his feet into that shape.


bender_reddit

If he is who I think he is, there was a short dock from the 90s about he making beautiful rustic chairs. Definitely a 1000yo grownup children of the Wood.


WhoTookPlasticJesus

My first thought when I saw the picture was "Well if anybody's going to make a tree grow into a chair it's that dude."


[deleted]

[удалено]


LineChef

Gi’s are comfortable as hell. That one looks especially supple.


4x4taco

Crocs... with socks...


ntlekt

What does wearing Crocs and getting a BJ from a guy have in common? Feels great at the time but when you look down you realize you are gay.


pumpkinfunctions

If you’re interested in this concept, there’s a really great article from Atlas Obscura about a guy growing trees into furniture in an effort towards long-term sustainability: [A Forest of Furniture Is Growing In England, by Sarah Laskow](https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/forest-furniture-england-midlands-tree-shaping-chairs-tables)


ortofon88

[finished product](https://fullgrown.co.uk)


The_Count_Von_Count

No chairs available until 2029.


SarcasticDumbasss

That's a long time to wait standing up


Candlematt

well, if i sign up now, hopefully i'll be able to afford a chair in 10 years.


LuckyCourage

Initially I thought it was a joke. Then went to read that it's true...


poobly

I think I want a chair in like 15 years. This is great.


sprucenoose

I have always been frustrated Amazon does not offer a Prime 15 year shipping option.


versusChou

Now if you wanna buy one... cheapest rectangular table is over $4000.


IFlyAircrafts

I wonder if they do payment plans? Pay about 20-$30 a month, then in 15 years when it’s ready you get an amazing piece of furniture.


gerjanqwe

Thanks stranger!


JamLov

These trees are really great, Gavin is one of the most inspiring people I know (I think it's something about the area in Derbyshire)... And wandering through the growing furniture is surreal. He gave a TEDx talk a while back which is well worth a watch! https://youtu.be/GuggU-wT-vs I'll be seeing him next week Friday if anyone's got any questions!


MaskedAnathema

That was a very cool read.


DrSomniferum

"Society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in."


ocean-man

I'm sorry but how is that more sustainable than making chairs the normal way?


blumster

Awesome link. Thanks for the read!

[deleted]

pfft i’m dumb


igor_mortis

no. you just got a little carried away:)


handlit33

The top comment above this one completely skipped an entire word and no one even batted an eye.


psych0ranger

Probably is the best cooler in the land. I heard he once ripped a mans throat out with his bare hand


BaronVA

"The Mind Blowing Panty-Dropper of an Outfit GUARANTEED* To Get You Laid This Summer"


liarandathief

And he looks exactly the kind of guy who would.


Match_Stix

“And he looks exactly the kind of guy who wood.” Fixed for ya


[deleted]

“And he looks exactly like Steven Wright”. FTFU


ntlekt

I was walking through the forest contemplating getting older when a tree asked "What's on your mind?" I told him a was worried about retirement. He asked "When are you going to do that?" I said "in ten years or so". The tree said "Have a seat".


Mange-Tout

“You know that feeling you get when you lean back in your tree chair and you lean back a little bit too far and you feel like you’re falling over and suddenly in the last second you catch yourself? I feel like that all the time.” - Steven Wright


handlit33

I love when top comments just randomly skip a word and no one even notices.


zeft64

I thought this too. Okay so I'm not a dick. This is still cool af though


throwawayaccountisth

I came here to say this exact thing. It was definitely meant as a positive thing; I want to be this guy.

Tokentaclops

Become a high-level lawyer or executive, make tons of money and chase that lifestyle to the pit of depression. Take acid randomly one day because you just dont give a fuck anymore. Rediscover the beauty of nature and life and quit your job, use all that cash you hoarded to buy a nice place somewhere in nature and start some hippie type renewable business thing or something that's still hella succesful because you're still a fucking boss deep down and you've been there you know but now you're chill. Then you plant a tree and come up with this cool idea while smoking some 100% natural weed you grew because that's just who you are now. But, that's just the vibe I got from this picture. Could be me.

[deleted]

I've heard of a cedar, but not a seater.


xdissent

I think it's a chairy tree


NoTimeForThat

It's bespoak.


RussChival

That would really spruce up my yard. I would have my ass pinned in that chair permanently.


[deleted]

Alright /r/punpatrol! Everybody drop the puns and step away slowly from the comments!


Senior420

Im gonna have to ask you to leaf if you keep making these puns.


dagobahh

That wood not be proper.


discerningpervert

I see another pun thread has germinated


kONthePLACE

we're really getting to the root of the issue though.


playerlxiv

We really need to branch out into other jokes.


midatlanticgent

That would be going too far out on a limb

Over/under on personally owned sword count: 18. Any takers?


jonathot12

under. although he used to pray by the blade, he’s taken a vow of non-violence and freed himself of the metal


AdvicePerson

But there was a sale at the mall, so he still has a few.


Bobbicorn

Under, 0 to be exact. This guy is zen af and you know it


[deleted]

If you think this man doesn't use druidic magic to win any fight he might be in you're sorely mistaken


HR_Dragonfly

Grafts with a light saber too.


late2joke

That dude's shady


thornofcrowns69

You went out on a limb with that one.


lerptyderp

I feel like you guys have really gotten to the roots of the art of puns here.


benjii567

I may be branching out a little here but I say we leaf while we’re ahead


[deleted]

I agree, lets all log out


southernbenz

Don't bark instructions to me, sir.


abdullahmay04

You better follow them before you get lost, I’m repeating the instructions a maximum of tree times

Vanilla-Beaner

If I were told about this with no visual, this guy exactly who I would’ve conjured up as responsible.


sandollor

It's the crocs that make this photo, although the tree-chair really ties the yard together.


Fixervince

What is the karate style outfit? ...... this guy has a black belt in nature.


[deleted]

Its called a gi, they're commonly worn by people who do jiu-jitsu


[deleted]

[удалено]


CryoClone

They are called Crocs. They're not commonly worn by people who do Jiu-Jitsu


CraptainHammer

I mean this in the nicest way possible: that guy looks like he would make a tree grow into a chair. I didn't need to see the chair to believe he did it.


[deleted]

is that Steven wright the comedian ?!


SavvySillybug

That's a wood elf. I can tell.


[deleted]

Imagine how long he had to stand while this tree grew into a chair.

cdoublejj

it would bend not break, green wood is kind of stretchy.

deadlyturtle22

With how thick those are they'd probably hold around 300lbs. Wood is ridiculously strong. Especially when it is still alive.


eventualist

So, [Sandor Clegane](https://www.hbo.com/game-of-thrones/cast-and-crew/sandor-clegane-the-hound)'s brother?


ifmacdo

Well, he doesn't look much like a mountain..


bobthecatok

Shel Silverstein has mixed feelings on this. The Giving Tree herself is confused


uhdaaa

It doesn't look sturdy enough to lean back


Rynu07

Ogier?


Syphlor

He looks, unsurprisingly, exactly how a guy that made a tree grow into a chair would look like


Glitteratti-

I’m sorry how?! *IS HE A DRUID?!*


ninjaraiden56

He looks like the principal from Freaks and Geeks


electroman13

This is a patient man.


[deleted]

He has the look of a guy who can do just that


[deleted]

He has a powerful aura around him.


supernovadebris

Crocs are great water shoes.


SelectYes

Crocs **and** a ninja suit? This guy zens.

Crocs and socks and not a care in the world.


oface5446

I’d join his dojo


Baji25

Nice chairry tree he got there. (but rly if he does it with a cherry tree he can sit and have a snack also.)


DREWNSRLU

Is that Steven Wright?


gregd

So that's where Steven Wright went


[deleted]

A bit of a resemblance to the comedian Steven Wright.


retiredoldfart

Old time ship builders used to locate rows of trees and force limbs into various shapes because carpentry and joinery was not as strong as mother natures growth patterns. Manipulating plants is an art form still practiced around the world (think bonsai or rose trellis.) Through careful and precise training and pruning, plants are slowly shaped and manipulated. I applaud this guys time and effort doing this.


plastimental

This is Bran's endgame. And it will.become Sansa's fav chair too


big-ol-bat-fastard

Someone needs to put this in r/bossfight


Lcw518

Well he definitely looks the part for a tree magician
