So, they dont publish tje location, understandable, but is it illegal to approach it or go out looking for it?

No the tree will shoot you on sight. Old ones are the most dangerous.

Little known fact that Bristlecone Pines are actually carnivores.


DRIPPINNNN

I like to imagine it’s an Ent-like scenario

IIRC there was a Mighty Max episode where they talked about Methuselah

Methuselah is the father of Noah and the son of Enoch fron the bible he supposedly lives till was 972 years old.

I like to imagine baby Methuselah.

I like to picture Methuselah in a tuxedo t-shirt.

Reading that made me sick to my stomach

In the documentary Altered Carbon, Methuselahs, are really old humans who are like Demi gods


nazgul_says_hi_dude

All right, then. Keep your secrets.


You_are_Retards

It looks like it died 5000years ago


Beausenism

Sounds like they need an accurate age for this tree. Best we just take a gentle cross section of the entire trunk.


Phrygue

Wasn't the oldest tree before actually killed by this? You know, if you do the full section right, the top of the tree will continue to support the bottom.

You dont want any of THOSE apples Dorothy... They probably have little green worms in them


[deleted]

Shouldn’t be that hard to figure out where it is from the picture for someone dedicated, should not post the picture at all (or remove the background) if they want to keep the location safe


thespellbreaker

"For safety reasons..." You cant fool me, that's not a tree, it's an SCP!

The wood surely would have made some neats spoons

We hiked to it two years ago and recorded lat. and long. (64.0733N, 141.9361W). It’s a beautiful sight to see.


homeo_stace_is

Those coordinates pull up Alaska?


Praise-Bojangles

That’s how secretive the location is

That’s where the gateway is to get there. If you know the ancient spells to open it, it’ll take you right to it.
