In all seriousness, due to tropical disease and fucking mosquitoes, no White man should live outside, even raised from forest floor, for more than a couple weeks, tops.

FUCKING HELL ! I hated :

  • the fucking jungle humidity
  • the fucking jungle rain
  • the fucking SCARY SOUNDS at night
  • the fucking giant night moths all trying to get close to you and your lights
  • the fucking threat of brazilian scum trying to steal from you or kill you!
  • the fucking mosquitoes (Florida swamps sometimes have ZERO (nada none ziltch) mosquitoes, but not the part of Brazil I saw)
  • the fucking mosquitoes
  • the fucking mosquitoes
  • the fucking mosquitoes
  • the fucking mosquitoes
  • the fucking mosquitoes

enough said. I agree...

THAT PHOTO is antifa regional headquarters in Portland Oregon.

Why portland?: your EXIF gps was stripped, but ...

1 > The ferns in that photo, though not fiddler fern, are pacific northwest, and not Tasmanian Australia. 10,500 fern species exist, but those give off a oregon/washinton state vibe, despite no banana slugs in photo or visible fungus plants.

2 > I can almost smell the starbucks a quarter mile away from there.

Pro tip! Never camp in the Jungle for work or pleasure.

If you are serious, the spiderwebbing in canopy indicates at least 6 months existing, and the growth of a discarded meal "Sagittaria sagittifolia" (not the main cultivar) the lone arrow shaped plant in center, a foraged edible tuber, indicates hungry scavenging in the past.

The photographer cleverly or accidentally avoided capturing a large tree , conifer or non-conifer, and only depicts common underbrush. Some underbrush may be juvenile trees of pacific northwest, but not one provable discernible photo image of a bell ringer species :

undergrowth:

what a mystery by omitting a clean view of a tree species.

Even a 1st year juvenile of a CONIFER, depicted only in far far awy of the photo as full grown, would pin this location down to 600 miles. Pacific Northwest conifer plant needle patterns :

Its as if this guy wants to create a debate as to location and debate whether its a northern rainforest in USA (pac-west), or elsewhere.

That could be a found marijuana grower camp he dropped his hiking bag on for one minute , and took a snapshot.

The tenting on the platform is rule number one for any jungle : fucking mosquitoes, fucking mosquitoes, fucking mosquitoes, fucking mosquitoes

You're right about the scary sounds at night. It's like, what the fuck is even out there!? Everything in the jungle comes out at night. It's relatively quiet during the day. The mosquitos aren't bad if you cover yourself in termite guts.

But no, this is not the PNW. Not even close. It doesn't even look the same.

Termites? You visited the legendary Brazil termite mounds that can be seen from space that took 4,000 years to mound up?

Those photos were taken in different regions, and different cameras. the second photo is a 2014 photo from a Canon PowerShot SX280 HS lacking gps.

Was this before or after that guy from the primative technology channel on youtube started uploading?

Your shelter looks quite shitty for having spent 6 months with it. A nigger could build a grass hut that looks nicer honestly.

Having said that, I wouldn't know how long said nigger would take to construct anything, nor do I know what challenges you might have faced.

[–] 3 pts

This was back in 2014. I didn't build this, but I did learn how to build structures like it, and structures even bigger and nicer. They had nicer buildings to live in. I chose to sleep in this at night. I wasn't trying to vacation at some resort, I was trying to experience REAL LIFE. I wanted to test myself and see what I'm really made of. Yes, it was shitty, leaked a lot when it rained, and was full of bugs, and I could hear things moving around at night only a couple of feet from my hut.

Have you seen this chick on youtube who makes huts in the jungle? She would a big help to have around. Cause damn. https://m.youtube.com/c/survivalshelterideas/

That is fake as shit. Notice how they skip HUGE portions of her 'building' and show just a few low effort clips of her making some very small adjustment. A crew does the work and videos her. Look at the views, 29 million views? Think of the add revenue.

Yes, I have seen her. I think she is in the Philippines. I was in South America. I was given a jungle wife by the chief which helped out a lot.

Sounds rough but also amazing. In the past year I've gotten real into camping, and each time going a bit lighter with my gear. There is nothing better to clear your head and escape the day to day than this. Hoping I can do something like this in the future

Primitive technology and similar channels are full of shit, they often use modern tools and heavy machinery off camera, nothing primitive about it.

When I look at this image, my mind says bugs, spiders, snakes. I can imagine quite a bit of annoyances there. Sleeping there at night would make me hyper-aware of noises in the jungle around me. Is any of this like the reality you experienced?

[–] 2 pts

It's difficult to sleep in the high 100% humidity. It makes for a listless night.

The tribe I was living with had dogs. These dogs would bark when any living creature larger than a rat got near the village. This village was no larger than an acre, mind you. They were also in a perpetual state of warfare with a neighboring nomadic tribe that was even more primitive. The tribe I stayed with had converted to Christianity, yet still practiced their old ways. This rival tribe was known to be able to slip into the village at night totally undetected by the dogs and slit people's throats while they were sleeping. So I did worry about that. Someone did rummage through my stuff one night and I saw the barefoot footprints. They said it was the other tribe, but who knows. I was completely at the mercy of this tribe for my survival and had to trade my labor and an expensive LED flashlight to ensure my survival. They were extremely delighted and grateful I gave them that flashlight though. They taught me how to survive in the jungle.

This deep in the jungle, aside from hostile tribes, there are also cartel operatives, guerillas, smugglers, and other criminal elements roaming around in the jungle at night. One night, not at this location, but in a different region, we were attacked and had to fight for survival.

Do you see the mosquito net there? Often times I would wake up in the night and it would be completely coated in insects. Mosquitos, and a variety of other insects, some as large as your hand. Insect-borne diseases are the number one threat in the jungle. You don't sleep well in the jungle at first. It takes about seven days to acclimate. Still to this day, I can be sound asleep and hear a noise while I'm sleeping and pop up wide awake with an adrenaline rush and be ready to go. I call it jungle sleep. You're asleep, but also somehow awake and listening. If you don't gain this adaptation deep in the jungle it can be fatal.

Honestly, after Golgothans comment, I can only read your comment and visualize this in Portland.

Heh.

Instead of just malaria it’s HIV, hepatitis, and malaria!

The insects would be a deal breaker for me. Why did you do that to yourself? You should get tested to make sure you didn't pick up babesia or chagas or some other nasty shit you're not aware of because your immune system is keeping it in check. Missionaries have major issues with that.

For all I know, I'm a walking talking petri dish. What doesn't kill me makes me stronger. See my other response about parasites for more details.

The only question that comes to mind is why would you want to do such a thing? I'm not enough of an adrenaline junkie to attempt it myself. Good on you for coming out the other end in one piece. Sounds completely alien and brutal to me. But then I'm just an ordinary city mouse.

[–] 1 pt

I did it to have an adventure and see what I'm made of. When I entered the jungle, I was all bundled up: Wide brim hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, bug spray, long sleeve shirt, gloves, long pants, and hiking boots. When I left the jungle, I was barefoot, only wearing my swim suit, and as red as a lobster.

I kind of wonder the same thing. I tried sky dyving, totally boring, my heart didn't skip a beat and I didn't care. Surfing, on the other hand, way more fun but no adrenaline.

I think it's far more interesting to listen to him describe the experience. Great question.

Did you consider trying to teach them how to live better? I can think of at least a dozen simple things they could do to improve their quality of life. Or are you one of those "they are better off living like savages, who are we to judge" kind of people?

[–] 0 pt

Did you consider trying to teach them how to live better?

Yes, many times. But ultimately, their mindset is very different than ours, and, there's things they do they've always done and they aren't going to change anytime soon. And you don't want to be rude because if something happens to you out there... well, you'll never be heard from again and nobody will ever know what happened to you.

No niggers nearby. Ill give you 2 million cash for it.

Life in the jungle is the closest thing you will get to anarcho-capitalism.

[–] 0 pt (edited )

Having a chief doesn't sound very anarchic to me.

I'd argue that in primitive places like that the state takes the form of the tribe. The interactions between tribes is like that of states. The scale is just different.

Doubt. Did you live in a jungle with no predators? bc this tiny hut wouldn't have protected you from anything.

Edit Sorry, that was unnesessarily rude. Don't want to be one of those "nothing ever happens" people.

[–] 1 pt (edited )

Being a human being protects you from predators. The only predators you have to worry about are caymans, which live in the water, and jaguars, which stay the hell away from people. The only predators I had to worry about were other humans.

Edit: oh and snakes! But they're not preying on you, per say. You just have to watch your step.

And spiders. And scorpions. And disease carrying insects. Disease carrying insects are your number one enemy. Followed by microbes. There was a dude with us who drank untreated water and I watched him get sick and die within 6 hours. They had to take him up river to another village with a radio to call for help. He had to be airlifted out, but he was already dead by the time the chopper arrived.
