Boy climbs tree for record, learns 61 days beat by 182
Drew Rusnack, 14, spent 61 days and 21 hours in a maple tree in Randolph New Jersey aiming to beat a Guinness fastened tree-sitting record. He learned on Thursday a 182 day record existed, but he plans to stay until Sept 5 then return to Randolph High School. His father decided against pursuing the longer challenge. Carol Klarman confirmed the 1980 Guinness edition lists the 182 day mark.
