Shipping out
Bus #1 broke down
Catching the boat in Nauta
The water was very high, this is actually the street.
Compass class with Patrick (Hobo Jack)
Kyle gave a first aid lecture
Aguilar giving the machete safety class
As usual the locals came to see the gringos
Off to see the wizard…
We sure look funny here
La Selva
My biggest fear in the jungle…black palm thorns
This is why we look up before chopping
Shelter class
Patrick doing the fire class
Knife class
Traps
We made sure the students made at least one working trap or hunting tool
Food
Reza did the chicken preparation class and we saved the blood for later
Blood left out to coagulate and bbq
After
Brazil nuts
Jungle living
Feet need to air out and the sun was a welcomed treat for this
Bugs will take over if you let them
…and then Mike will laugh at you
Cool off and rest when you can
Preferred footwear by the locals…rain boots
Good thing we had the boot polish this time
We had many Isula ants in our camp
My camp
The spreader stick with vine to apply tension without stakes and poles to trip over
From chopping, this guy got a little blister
Tools for the bush
In camp we had tools from Scott Gossman, Mora, Marbles, TOPS, Victorinox, Ontario, Gerber, ESEE, Bidor, Greyman, Benchmade, DPx, Blind Horse, KA-BAR,
These blades made their way around camp when the machetes got dull
Patrick used this jungle combo
Percy (Elvis) made this spear
Utility carabineer kit- I keep the stuff I use handy so I don’t need to dig into my survival kit
The real reason I go back to Peru…
Field expedient litter with Kyle
Signaling
Rafts
Back on the boat we gave a prize for the best shelter
After in Tamshiyacu
Last supper
