Going to the jungle

[Gandalf]

I've spent a lot of time in jungles. Jungle life is hard, you must attempt to avoid being a pussy. No one will be impressed by your harsh upbringing. DO NOT bring your wife. Even if you find running water that looks clean you should boil it because its hard to see the various bits of animal shit that will kill you.

What jungles have you experienced?

Believe me, my life is nothing compared to the jungle and that's why I want to do it. It's completely alien to me.

No, the wife has no interest in going. I've talked about it for over a year though and she seems to be happy for me to do it as long as it gives me something to occupy my mind. She hates snakes and creepy crawlies, so do I actually, but you have to face these things.
