Going to the jungle

Miles are you expecting to do something similar like this white guy on his trip to the jungles? Taking in the sights and meeting inhabitants there?

Haha very funny video, I laughed a few times. No, I just want to live out a bit of an Indiana Jones fantasy really.

I have an ominous feeling that any trip Miles and I would take through the jungle would be much more "Heart of Darkness" than Indiana Jones.

I'm a nice enough chap really, it would be a laugh. I don't care for politics or any of that nonsense when marching through thick foliage.

On a serious note if you ever were going to do something like this purchase a good pair of boots. Garmont makes a great pair that I personally wear. Then start doing ruck marches with a 35+ pound load. Tacitcal Tailor makes a great rucksack. Start with 3 miles and work up to 12 miles. A man's feet and back have to be conditioned to humping weight for long periods of time and distance. I've seen blisters and soft feet take the starch out of some pretty tough men.
