Good morning, today’s lecture will focus on how to travel in the jungle. Jungle country is not friendly to man, but it is possible to survive them. You must have the right equipment and you must know a few important things about woodcraft. Then your chances of staying alive are very good.
No one should go into the jungle without the right equipment. You need lightweight clothing, a good knife and a compass, Fishhooks and a line, a rifle and ammunition, and matches in a waterproof container are necessary too. So is a mosquito net to protect the head.
In the jungle you can get hopelessly lost within five minutes after leaving a known landmark. That is why you should always carry a compass. In open country, during the day, you can tell which way to go by studying the sun. At night the stars are sure guides to direction. But in most places the jungle rooftop is so thick that it is impossible to see the sun or the stars. Again and again you must check your position by the compass.
Keep watchful. Watch the ground In front of you carefully. Stop and listen now and again. Avoid haste, and rest often. In a place that is hot and damp, the person who sets a fast pace will soon become tired. A steady, even pace is wiser in the long run. Whenever possible, it is wise to follow streams and rivers that are going in your general direction. This may cause you many extra miles of travel. But In the end it will save time and energy. Nothing is more exhausting than cutting out a trail cross-country through unbroken jungle. If a river is broad and deep and has no rapids, rafting is the best means of travel. Bamboo grows along the banks of many jungle streams. Since it is hollow and extremely strong, it makes a perfect raft.
Mosquitoes will be with you all the time. The only defence against them is to wear the right kind of clothing. You should never wear shorts In the jungle. Your trousers must be lightweight and long. The legs of the trousers should be put into your boot tops.
Finding water that is safe to drink can be a problem. Many streams and rivers carry germs that can be deadly to man. Streams found near native villages are always dangerous, even if they are clear and fresh-looking. Such water must always be boiled before you drink it. Luckily, the jungles have many kinds of plants and vines that give water. The big rough-barked vines called lianas are one of the best sources of water. A section several feet long should give you more than a cup of clear water. Water from almost all plants is pure enough to drink. But stay away from vines that have bitter or milky juice.
Many jungle plants also provide food. Before you go into the jungle, learn to recognize the varieties of plants that can be eaten. If you haven’ t had a chance to do this, watch that kinds of fruits and nuts the birds and monkeys choose. Such food is almost safe for a man to eat. When you are seeking meat, rivers and streams are the best places to hunt. You do not need to be familiar with the many different kinds of birds and animals. You can eat any of them.
Animals that do not eat plants eat each other. When you see an animal in the jungle, you can be sure that its source of food is somewhat close by. That source may mean for you the difference between going to sleep well fed or hungry.
Surviving in the jungle is a science. The jungle peoples have become perfect in this science, and you too. Learn as much as you can about what to expect in the jungle. Make sure you have the right equipment. Then no part of the jungle will seem completely unfriendly or frightening. In fact, you will be able to "live off" it for a long time.
