JAGDKOMMANDO DSCHUNGEL EXPERTE PACKT AUS! | DAS XXL SPECIAL | 7 Vs. Wild Vorbereitung

It has to dry of course, so we hung up the shirt to dry, so somehow I had to incorporate the classic Sashu Omone gag. Now we start with a few information for you, now it's getting exciting and of course also information for me. I think it's going to be wild now, I think you've prepared a lot. Yes, definitely. Sascha, once again welcome here at the most beautiful spot or one of the most beautiful places in Austria, here at the Riemerhof. I would like to introduce myself briefly, please. My name is not that important, but what is more important is that I am a member of the training group 4 of the training department of the hunting commando. Here, the training department is like the school of the hunting commando, so you can imagine that. With us, all hunting commando soldiers undergo various trainings and, among other things, survive training in the environment, like jungle, desert, arctic. We are responsible for everything related to behavior, captivity and hostage-taking, the training group 4 is responsible for that and we do it with full enthusiasm and conviction and enjoy the training. How long have you been around, if I may ask? I have been with the hunting commando for 27 years. We are here at the training ground, as you can hear in the background, helicopter movements. We have now been here for three weeks in a row, the tanks were on the move. Yes, we are exactly here now with our, I would say, classroom in nature, where people see various types of fire, fireplaces, accommodation and so on. And of course build it up in a practical way, just like you. Sascha, we have prepared a presentation for you, our forest and meadow video beamer. A forest and meadow beamer and a PowerPoint presentation. Exactly, you will take this presentation home with you and study it in peace. Right, I'll be back. Great. Okay. Tüftl. Yes, as Guns'n'Roses has already sung, welcome to the jungle. Soon it will be your turn, soon you will find yourself in a tropical environment and everything will be different than here. You will have extreme humidity, you may have storms, you may have a downpour every day, you may have a tiger. Sorry, you're breaking. Do you think there will be a downpour every day? Possibly, possibly. If you're unlucky, it rains at least once a day. But it's great to start with water. It's a two-edged sword, positive or negative. But of course we only see the positive aspects, no question. Exactly. Sascha, let's start. What is a tropical rainforest? What is a so-called jungle, as we always call it in the technical jargon? So you have an annually dense, always green forest vegetation. You won't find a steppe there, you won't find dry savannas there, you will always find green forest vegetation there. Very high rainfall, you have trees 40 to 50 meters high or even higher, up to 70 meters high trees. A very dense leafy roof, of course, always depends on whether the person has already intervened in this rainforest or not. We'll get to that later. The temperatures are around 20 to 28 degrees, depending on where you are. I don't know exactly where you will be traveling. Is it Latin America, will it be South America? The temperatures can vary by a few degrees. There are no real seasons, you can distinguish between dry season and rainy season. In the dry season it rains only a few times a week, in the rainy season several times a day. Have fun in the rainy season. We basically distinguish this deep rainforest, which goes up to an altitude of 800 meters. Most likely, if you are from an island, it assumes that you will rather visit this deep rainforest. The mountain rainforest goes up to 1,500 meters and everything that goes above this height is called the fog forest, because the warm air masses rise and fill these mountain terrain sections with dense fog. Gorillas in the fog, for example. Where is the rainforest on our beautiful earth? We distinguish between three large areas. We have the Amazon here, one of the largest connecting rainforest areas in the world. Then we have the so-called Congo Basin here in Africa, also with many countries that are included in the tropical rainforest. And here Southeast Asia, also known as very tropical. If you look, the equator runs right in the middle over these places. And we have this northern and southern equator. And in this are the largest tropical rainforest areas on earth. This has to do with the fact that the sun is always at the highest point on the equator and thus delivers most of the sun's radiation. All the water that is in the sea, that is in the rivers, evaporates. I have very high rainfall all the time and that's why this vegetation is so green, so lush, so oversized. Well, we distinguish from the normal jungle, from the normal rainforest, we have this primary jungle. The primary jungle is comparable to what we have when we look into such a high forest. I have a dense leafy roof, I don't have such extreme vegetation at the bottom, because plants need light to grow. Very important, I have now constantly put a umbrella over it at the top, nothing will grow at the bottom. Primary jungle, that means I can move quite well in there and pleasant temperatures. Now the human comes into play, cuts out 1, 2, 3, 10, 100,000 jungle giants. The sun shines down to the ground and a so-called secondary jungle is created. There the movement is very difficult again. I have very dense vegetation, I have to work my way through with the machete to get from A to B. If I could choose, I would prefer to be in the primary jungle. And the increase in this are the mangroves, they are even worse than the secondary jungle. There I am up to my chest in the water, there I wait through mud, there I scratch through roots, trees. So that's really, if you come into a mangrove area, have fun. So primary jungle, secondary jungle and the mangroves. Here I have prepared a little diagram so that you can see, not always a lot of rain, not always the same temperatures. That means there is also a time when the temperatures drop a bit, but you can see most of the time, there is a lot of rainfall, the temperature is just pleasant in the tropical rainforest. Of course, this varies from Latin America to South America, as I mentioned before, but you will soon notice. Let's get a little bit to the animal world, what might expect you, also because of animal food. Maybe you have the opportunity to catch one or the other animal, or you find an endangered animal somewhere and it's still from the meat that was in the jungle. Agouti, for example, is found a lot in South America and Central America. This is a rodent, weighs up to 3 to 4 kilos, is active during the day, that is, they run around like field rabbits here. You can find these Agoutis, of course, very fast, they are rather leisurely on the road and easy to catch. The peccary is a wild boar species, a very small wild boar, because they are really tiny. This is a striped peccary, there are also different types of it. And the tapir, which is very active at night, you can hear it, it always whistles so funny, it makes funny whistling sounds. And there you immediately know, ah, there is a tapir on the road, they always look for the water spots at night, drink there. From the meat, the tapir is also very comparable to our domestic pig, from the consistency it is very pig-like, I'll tell you now. It gets pretty big, the probability that you might catch a tapir is rather low, if then more peccary or these little rodents. Yes, now we come to an interesting topic, namely snakes. Here you mainly have poisonous snakes that can be dangerous to you, which are in the area of Central and South America. And there, for example, the coral snake is also a very dangerous snake, because it has two different types of poison. One neurotoxin, which is a nerve poison, it stings nerve muscles, interrupts synapses, very, very bad. And in addition, it has the new myotoxin, that is, it goes on the muscle tissue, the heart muscle mainly. Your heart won't work anymore, you'll just die. Without the antiserum, you come to a breathless state and end of story. There is a saying, a donkey bridge, blood to daughter, killer otter, blood to coal, to you for the good. That means blood, the red part of the snake is meant, and the yellow next to it, red and yellow next to it, is the deadly version. There are snakes that look similar, but have a different color combination. Interesting, but more in the direction of North America. It may be that in the area of South America, Central America, other color combinations are poisonous again. So you really have to be careful. I recently spoke to the snake expert in the Natural History Museum about the coral snake. She said that this is bearable for the southern part of North America, but it can look completely different in the tropical rainforest. Treat every snake, no matter which one, as if it were poisonous. Avoid it, don't go looking for it, always leave the snake in the escape area, so that it comes away. Basically, snakes are not aggressive. If you drive it into the narrow part, if you say, hey snake, now I'm going to move you to the body, then the snake will defend itself. It will bite, an attack on a defensive bite, maybe not so much poison is initiated, but that's enough for a lot of poisonous snakes, and you will die. Let's go on. Let's go on, it's getting better and better. Coral snake. In French Ferdelans, a very large poisonous snake is very loyal to the territory. That means, if you see or recognize a large snake that looks like this in your camp area, then it is better to leave this area. Your camp is not in that area, it comes back, it is very loyal to the territory. Interesting, okay. It has a so-called poison cocktail, made up of various poisons. If you survive the bite, you will definitely have enormous tissue damage, and that of course causes the loss of limbs, whether it is an arm, a leg, whatever it is. Here you can see the leg of a snake, it is amputated above the knee and it is completely destroyed, irreparable. Plant otter. Is it common? Yes. Here you can see a plant otter with its poisonous teeth, but it is already dead. Here I have only mapped an anaconda, which is supposed to represent the coral snake. The coral snakes are of course not poisonous, but the bite of such a snake can of course also lead to extreme contamination of your tissue, of your blood. You have to keep your distance here too. They are of course slower, not as aggressive, but still, just keep your distance. Unless it's really about survival, you need animal protein, animal food, then of course you have to kill and prepare your snake. But I wouldn't get involved with an anaconda now, it has a little more power. It is super banana, but the anaconda consists only of muscles. Crass, madness. Machine. The largest snake species in the world. The plant otter is, in contrast to the coral snake, which is not aggressive at all, rather on the more aggressive side. It looks like it, I'll take a look at it. You can't have fun with that. No matter which snake comes, you can only repeat, repeat, repeat. Just keep your distance, go at a distance, don't play the hero. You can't read the snake. You don't know how it's positioned, what it's up to. Just keep your distance and get away from there. I don't want you to have abdominal cramps, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and so on, and then die quietly and secretly. I don't do that. I want you to come back whole again. What else do we have nice that crawls and flutters around in the jungle? Here we have two recordings of a so-called arrow-poisoned frog, also known as a treetop frog. They are found in various color constellations. They are beautiful frogs, some of them are as big as a thumb nail, really like porcelain. If you see them, you would like to take them in your hand and kiss them. But that would be deadly. They are really very, very poisonous. Residents in the tropical rainforest use them, for example, partly for their arrowheads. They get the poison out of them. Don't attack them if you have an open spot or any mucous membranes. If the poison gets in, that's it. Very, very poisonous. What is very painful, one of the most painful stories you can imagine, is the so-called 24-hour pain ant. It's really called that, or also called bullet ant. It has very painful claws and a spike. If this ant, which is as big as our big forest ant, maybe a little bigger, if it stings, then you have a constant pain for 24 hours. The Wayapi Indians, for example, they are in the north of Brazil and south of French Guiana. They have a ritual where they braid children's hair with grass. Then they are caught, stuck in the head, fixed, and then their children are held on the upper arm, face, thigh, chest. And then they stab them. The children scream like crazy. This is a torture ritual. And of a pain scale of 1, light pain, and 4, extreme pain, this animal has 4 plus. The people who are stabbed by it, describe it as burning inside. I've seen it a lot. Fortunately, I haven't stabbed anyone yet. Have you seen it a lot? Yes, the bird spider. I'm more of the harmless one of these fellows. But still, don't attack, don't go too close. They can shoot the hair, hook it back so finely, then you have it in your skin, it itches again. They shoot the hair away? Yes, exactly. So just keep your distance. Don't try to catch it and look at it up close. It's just not worth it. Mosquitoes are the very best source spirits. They are small, but they are unpleasant. They can be annoying, they can transmit diseases. Please protect yourself from these source spirits. Mr. Sascha, in 2016, I was in the Central African Republic for a few months, close to the Congo border, and there I was stabbed by such a nasty fish. A few days later, I had malaria. Really? Malaria? Fever spikes, up and down. Shit! If you don't recognize it early, it can be fatal. That's why you should take malaria prophylaxis. I also took it, but very early in the morning. Just before 6 a.m. I sweated a lot. They are active around 6 p.m. It's better to take malaria prophylaxis around noon. Then you have full protection until the evening. If you sweat a lot. What is it? Tablets? Yes, tablets. Malarone, for example. It's not enough during the day. Your friends. I noticed that you have an affinity for crocodiles. Absolutely. You must meet one somewhere and compare yourself to it. The largest crocodile species in Latin and South America is the so-called pointed crocodile. Up to 7 meters. Up to 7 meters, but there are exceptions. Mostly around 4 meters. The good thing is, it's not as aggressive as the striped crocodile or the nile crocodile. But hungry? Not there. They are all hungry. We are just like that as humans. You will have a stick. A survival stick. You will defend yourself with it. Don't run away. That won't work. They can run quite fast at short distances. Up to 45 km h. You can't do that in the jungle. The biggest crocodile is the attack. Make it big. And then you just don't hit it. And we see, it works. Shit. Okay. If I'm right, they think of you. Please. The probability that you will meet one is very, very low. But if, sell your skin as expensive as possible. Shit. And we come to the next crocodile. The family of alligators. The crocodiles are the real crocodiles. The caimans belong to the family of alligators. Maximum 3 m. A very pleasant companion. You don't have to be afraid of it at all. Yes, but I read that crocodiles wait up to a year. And they remember where the poet went to drink water last time. They wait under the water surface. And if you go to the same place, you're out. And you're already a festival. It won't happen to you. Let's believe it. Caimans are very night-active. During the day, they are pulled down somewhere. And in the night, only somewhere on the rivers. Basically, it lives in fresh water. But there are also possibilities that it briefly swims past you somewhere in the sea. But mainly fresh water. From here to there. And the top crocodile is also both. Sweet and salty water. Active, but prefer sweet water. That's interesting. First aid with a snake bite. Rule number one. Keep calm. Try to keep your circulation as active as possible. Try to avoid the bitten extremity. Whether it's your arm, your leg, whatever. Don't move it too fast. Don't move it at all. Keep it really calm. So that the poison doesn't spread so quickly, right? Not spread so quickly. You shouldn't go running. You shouldn't strain yourself physically. But if possible, behave as calmly as possible. And also mentally. You will get scared. You might panic. And then you have to try to calm yourself down completely. If possible, don't go by yourself. But let it transport itself. If you're alone, don't think about anything else. Just move slowly. If you can identify the snake. If you can recognize it. Either photograph it, film it. Which is often not so good. To kill the snake. This is exactly what happens when people are bitten again. Because they heal the snake behind them. I have to chop off your head now. So I can show you which snake it was. You have cameras with you. You try to film or photograph it. So you can say it was this and that snake. I need this or that antiserum. You may notice that your body is changing. There may be poisoning symptoms. There will be extreme pain at the bite point. There may be numbness. You will find it difficult to breathe. You may get a so-called eyestrain. That means you can no longer move your eyes. These are signs that you have been bitten by a poisonous snake. Provide fluid. Yes, as much as possible. But neither coffee nor alcohol. Water would be ideal. If possible, immediately provide medical assistance. Things like cutting out, sucking out, burning. That doesn't work at all. Just leave it. It doesn't help at all. On the contrary, it may be that the spot is destroyed even more. You have also said, try with ice. If I have ice available, cool it down like this. Just leave it. It may also be that if you want a pressure band, it also has a negative effect at the bite point. Cover very lightly so that no parasites get in there. Because the wound is still bleeding. But don't make a pressure band. Cover very lightly with a pressure band. Tear off the bandage and then bandage it. But very important. Keep calm, stay calm. Make sure that as soon as possible, you have a satellite phone. Get help. Identify the snake immediately. Or at least photograph or film. And as I said, keep calm. Make sure that you slowly move towards the beach. If you were in the jungle and were bitten. Because it's the time of the ups and downs. The more time passes, the worse it gets for you. The faster you are found by the rescue workers, the better it is. You move towards the beach, pay attention to yourself, stay in the shade, drink, drink, drink. And immediately get the rescue workers to you. Don't move fast, think slowly and positively. With everything you do, wherever you move, always try to be as careful as possible. Whether it's working with a machete or a knife, or something else. Otherwise it goes like me. This happened to me a few years ago in French Guiana. A beautiful scar remains. We sewed it right in the jungle. And then it went on. It went on. In the jungle. How did you do that? Our doctor said, come here, we had a jungle roof. He did the first and last stitch himself. In the middle, one of our paramedics was allowed to do it. He practiced on me right away. It worked great. But it goes fast, if you're really clumsy. I helped a comrade to set up his hammock. I was already done. He came back from the march a little later. And zack zack, let's go, let's go. Done. Please, please be careful. Nothing heals in the jungle. Nothing heals. The juice, it's always wet. It just doesn't heal. What's great, what's your advantage, you have more next to you. You have salt water. You can go into the water with injuries. It burns in the beginning, but the salt is great. The salt water is great for small injuries. Otherwise, in the jungle, when you're constantly wet, nothing heals. These were my feet and my stay. If you have a lot of mud in your shoes, you can't do hygiene regularly, because you're just out and about. Then it gets infected. Your feet are constantly wet. It's called a so-called ditch foot. It's completely white. It's frayed. Bacteria, whatever, come in there. And it looks like this at some point. And you walk like on glass shards. It burns. Always try to do body care. Always be careful. Body care? When? Very important. Let's get to the useful tips. If you walk around a bit on your island, look at the vegetation, then you might come across this fruit. It's very, very striking. It grows at a height where you can pick it very easily. It's called Uruku. And if I open it, I have a lot of little red berries in it. You take these berries out. You can grate them very well in your hands. And you use it as insect protection. That means you lubricate yourself like this man in the photo. It's also sun protection, but mainly protection against insects. It's like an insect protection agent. A mosquito or something else. Uruku. Exactly. Very striking. These furry red structures. The older they get, the darker they get. You have to go through nature with your eyes open. The subject of fire. Do you really need a fire in a tropical rainforest? Do I always have to prepare food? If I have the fire, it's really difficult to make a fire in tropical regions. I have enormous humidity, up to 100% humidity. Everything I touch is wet. Even with a lighter, it's difficult to make a fire in the jungle. It's always good when the fire burns that I never let it go out. Always make sure that it is replaced. From the wood itself. In tropical regions, it is roughly distinguished between three types of wood. The white wood. You go here with a machete, remove the bark and see if it is white or yellowish. Then it is the soft wood, like spruce for example. If you cut down a tree and you see the green coming out, then it is medium-hard wood. And if you cut down the bark and you see it red, then it is really hard wood. It is mostly wood that does not float. If you want to build a raft and you see that it looks red, don't chop it down. You throw it into the water and it goes down. To start the fire, you use the white wood. Later, when you have a good fire, you can add red wood. It lasts much longer. You put a few pieces in and it burns all night long. That's great. It is important to spread the wood around the fire so that it dries. You can take some objects with you. One of them that I would recommend is this filter. It is a water filter that filters out viruses, bacteria, particles, chemicals and even heavy metals. You can filter up to 20 liters of water until the filter gives up the ghost. It works really simple. We will take a look at it later. If I would recommend a filter, it would be this model. You have containers and filters in a system. The food in the tropical rainforest, the banana, also helps against depressions. Banana is a great home remedy. It has a very high potassium content. If you get light depressions after days of loneliness, you look for bananas, eat as much as possible and the depressions are gone. That's very interesting. Bananas are easy to find. You recognize them. Harvesting when they are too high up is interesting. Bananas don't always grow high up. Sprouts can also be very low. Don't be surprised if the banana grows a little smaller. They don't grow as big as in our supermarket. But the taste is much more intense than in our supermarket. I'm curious. I can use the coconut to drink the coconut water. It's really good. I can use it for diarrhea. You can also use it as an infusion solution. And of course I can use the coconut meat as food. If the coconut nut is still hanging on the coconut palm, it can be a very dangerous story if you don't know how to get up there. But if the nut has already fallen down, just take it, open it and enjoy it. The so-called palm heart is very easy to win. You hit two birds with one stone. You chop your palms that grow there. You need the leaves to cover your accommodation. And in the middle, where the palm always produces new leaves, this is a closed system. This is called the palm heart. If you chop this down, remove the bark, then such a bright, soft core appears. You can take it normally and cut it into small pieces and eat it. It is very juicy and tastes really good. And a little tip on the side. Fruits that are eaten by monkeys are usually also edible for humans. Still, what you don't know, or you do the so-called tasting by simply taking this fruit and rubbing it on the underside of your wrist. If there is no pain in 10-15 minutes, no allergic reaction, whatever, then you can put a little of the juice of this fruit on your lips. If it tastes very soapy, don't eat it. If you get swelling, also remove your fingers. If you have nothing, wait another 10 minutes, then eat a small amount of this fruit, wait another half an hour, and if you don't get stomach cramps or anything else, then start eating this fruit in small amounts. Don't put it in right away, it could be an overreaction. My body tolerates this fruit. I don't know it, but I saw the monkeys chewing it. I did the tasting and now I can also nibble it. Food can also be presented in an animal form. Here is a photo of one of our trips in French Guiana. We always made a grill roast where the caiman, the fish, and the banana leaves are placed on top of it. A fire is made underneath and it smokes all day long and prepares your food. It is smoked, so to speak. Here you can see it again. Nicely covered with leaves. And preserved, right? Not as preserved as it should be. You have to do it differently. But I wouldn't keep it there. I want to prepare it as quickly as possible and eat it. What's in there, no one will take away from you. If you want to make such a roast, it is important that you always remove the bark. Take very fresh wooden sticks, not dry ones. It can happen that they start to burn. You can put forks in there. Why remove the bark? Because it dries up quickly and also starts to burn. If you have smooth, wet wood, you can use it for a long time so that it burns through. It is also important to keep a good distance between your fireplace and the meat or fish you put on top. For such a situation, you need three quarters of a day and then the food is ready. Check if it is raw or already through. If it is not raw, cover it again and wait. Please do not eat raw meat in tropical regions. It could be that it is very contaminated with parasites. This is already eliminated by the heat and cooking. Last but not least, we have a few useful tips. I have already mentioned hygiene every day. Make sure that you go to the sea every day and wash yourself. You will sweat a lot, you will lose a lot of salt, you will get dirty, you have friction points on certain body parts. Remember my feet in the photo. This does not happen when you take off your clothes, clean yourself completely, wash yourself and you don't necessarily need a soap. I can do that great in the sea water. The salt dries and you rub it down with your t-shirt. Try to have a daily routine. Do not try to sleep for a long time, but as soon as the first sun rays wake you up, be happy. If you have the energy, do a pleasant, comfortable workout. With measure and goal. You probably have less food that you take with you, but with the calories you take with you every day, it will be relatively little. You have to adjust your physical activities accordingly. Do not press the bench too much or take less weight. Keep order in your camp area. Where you set up your camp, everything must start to be removed from the growth anyway. If you are down there and you see this growth back there, a lot of animals can hide there. There are nesting animals, there are hunting animals in there. This is not so optimal. Take a machete, take a stick and remove all the grass that has grown there. There you build your camp area. Now you have leftovers, they will not just throw them away, but you make a hole away from your camp area and that becomes your waste pit. You don't want to attract any insects, any mammals, crocodiles that come to visit to nibble on your leftovers. That's why you have to keep order. Also your seven twigs that you have there, whether it's your water bottle, if you have one, your machete, don't leave it lying around, but in a fixed area, that's where I hang them, that's where I find them at night. Here is my headlamp, here is this, here is that. If you have to leave in the dark, for whatever reason, then you should have your seven things ready to go. As already mentioned, if your fire burns, don't let it go out. Always try to have enough firewood. That's work. Basically, surviving is always work. Always. Don't lean back, put your feet high and wait for what's next. You have to find a job, you have to find accommodation, you have to look for drinking water, you have to organize firewood, and so on. You are constantly working. That's why a good schedule for your daily routine. Now I'm doing this, you don't have a watch with you, now you don't know, I can't say, I'll do this and that in an hour. When I'm done, you have to do this and that so that you really have a good schedule, a structured daily routine. Time goes by much faster, you don't start grumbling, I feel so bad and so on. No. You are alive, you are doing well, you are master of the situation and you will make it. That motivates. The so-called thunderbolt. If you build your emergency route. As long as you have an emergency route. Here with us, when people do their survival training, they get relatively little to eat this week. Now they never go to the toilet. If you have to go to the toilet, try to do your emergency route away from your accommodation, where you mainly stay. Pay attention to the wind direction. Most of the time, the wind goes in the same direction, so that you don't ruin your business and then you always have such a strange thing in your accommodation. Again, of course, pay attention to hygiene when you are done. I would call these thunderbolts rather close to the water so that after the business, there is no one there who is watching you, who is watching. Then I would go into the water, wash myself thoroughly, and then go back to my work. Or it may be that you don't have to go to the toilet for seven days. Otherwise, clean in the water, make it clean, never take any leaves or water directly. If I have the water, I definitely use it. With the leaves, I don't get a decisive reaction. It's never as clean as when I use water. And it's neither cold, you can just make it wet, If you have to venture into the jungle for some reason because you got a challenge, go into the jungle and do this or that. Then you have neither a compass nor a compass, nor a GPS, whatever. You will have a hard time orienting yourself. You take your machete, go into the jungle and every 15 steps, 10-15 steps, you make a mark on a tree, on a bush, whatever. And if you go in this direction, in the jungle, the marking is made here, so that when you find your way back, when you orient yourself back to your camp area, you have your markings. At eye level? Exactly, eye level is optimal. You can break branches, that also works, but be sure to mark your way. Unworked, free, walking back is easier. Don't just go into the jungle and I know, you turn around twice in the jungle and don't know where you are. And you turn around half a time at night and you don't know where you are. In the jungle it gets very dark very quickly. The curtain goes down, and it's pitch dark. It's better to stay where you are and don't move anymore. It's not funny. Be always busy. Always try to do some work. It doesn't have to be hard work where you burn a lot of calories, but always keep yourself busy and carve something. Think of nice things. If you have a challenge, don't go full euphoria, but sit down, think about it, make a plan. How do I do it best? How do I save my energy? That's going to be difficult for me. But you have to take the time. Absolutely. Don't rush into something. That would be very bad. Sit down, think about it, make a plan. Evasion plan. If this and that doesn't work, what else can I do? How do I get to my goal? Saving energy without needing a lot of resources. That's survival. Creativity is flexibility. And that's what you are. You are creative, you are flexible. You are a happy appearance. You have your heart on the right flag. What more do you want? You send me into the jungle. Where is the helicopter? No more. As soon as the dusk comes, arms long. If you have a blouse like me, just put your arms down. Malaria, whatever. Protect yourself from too much sunlight. If you stand out on the beach, you don't have a shadow over you. The sun is shining. You have little sun protection. Always try to wear your bungee hat, your jungle hat. It protects you very well. Like on vacation. You don't just lie on the beach. You also look out into the shade. Don't lose any objects. Everything you lose, everything that is gone, is gone. There is no one who comes and says Sascha, you lost your knife. Sascha, you have your shoes here again. No, that's gone. And you have to deal with it. You have to get angry. You have to say, how stupid I was. There are not many objects you have to look at. But you keep a few things together. You keep them in order. And then it fits well. Do you promise me that? I promise. Don't go into the sea in the middle of the night. It is possible that you have sharks that swim around your island. And the hunting time is usually early in the morning or when the dusk breaks. And that would not be so good. Shark attacks are usually rather rare. But if you are swimming or if you are standing it is enough if a small white-tailed reef shark comes and pinches you. That can be a reason that you leave. Because the bite wound is too strong and it then ignites and you have to go into the water. No matter where you are going whether in the water or on land always look where you are going. Don't go through the area like we do. The day is beautiful. Look where you are going. Do you remember the story about the snakes that are boiling in the water? Please be careful. The area there is more extreme. Not as moderate as here. Whether it is fauna or flora. It is just more interesting. Try your headlamp when it gets dark and you have a task to do where you need light. Otherwise don't waste the heat. Save your batteries, whatever you use. If you really need light try not to wear the headlamp. Light attracts insects. Not the light itself but the heat that radiates the light. That attracts insects. There is a disease called Leishmaniasis that occurs in tropical regions and is transmitted by the sand mosquito. It is a very small flying species. If you have it in your face and you get Leishmaniasis then it eats the whole flesh of your head. Only the skin remains. I saw an instructor in the jungle who had it in his face. It looks very wild. It is better to get Leishmaniasis on your hands than in your face. If you stay on the beach where there is always a nice breeze you won't get Leishmaniasis. In the jungle it can happen. Also don't bathe in standing tropical waters or drink from it. You have dangerous animals like poisonous crocodiles or parasites that dig into your skin and can transmit diseases like bilatiosis. That is not nice. I wouldn't be afraid of a crocodile or a sandfly or a worm. Respect! These are the bad guys that you take home with you. It can happen that Leishmaniasis has subspecies that only breaks out 2-3 years later. It can attack your mucous membrane and your intestines. Shit! Get a survival stick. It should be a stick. We will build one in about a month. It should be able to carry a weight and you need it at night when you walk from A to B to probe something when your headlamp doesn't work anymore. You can defend yourself you can knock down fruits that grow higher up. If you walk along a jungle path and there are spider webs so that you don't run into them and you have the animal rules you can clean them up. It is a useful helper. And last but not least I want to give you a tip. Try to see nature as your friend and not as your enemy. Don't try to fight against nature. You won't succeed. Nature is everywhere and it is much stronger than us. We are a part of nature. See yourself as a part of nature and experience a wonderful time. Try to see and hear the beauties of nature and not the negative things like everything is shit and I will die or whatever. Enjoy the time and apply with nature and not against nature. Okay. I will try it. If you are in an emergency and you find some trees with a so called plank root you can use it as a drum. You get a piece of wood and hit the plank root and the sound is so loud that you can hear it far away. If something happens it is an alarm signal if you don't have a cell phone. Are you? I am. I tried to hack it but it didn't work. Great. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. I want to say a few words to you. Peace!
