Greg James Wade:
For the trek in Peru I slept in a hammock. In Bolivia the men build a shelter on the ground each afternoon using small trees, vines and plastic tarps. I hang a mosquito net, lay down a blanket and settle in for the night.
Greg James Wade:
In addition Tomba the cook builds a kitchen daily (food off the ground @ right)

On day two Silverio kills a large male peccary (40kg). These pigs have long, sharp and protruding teeth and are dangerous to hunt -- for man and jaguar.

Red howler monkeys investigate our tribe. Howlers are incredible to listen to (see links), like supernatural wraiths haunting the forest.

The sweetest perfume in the rainforest
Greg James Wade:
For plants the rule of thumb in the rainforest is if you see a monkey eat it then you can eat it
