Iban singing to a tree we are going to harvest from. The ceremony itself had not really been seen by modern people before. However, the matis tribe chose to show us.
To my knowledge, this is one of the first times the song has been recorded.
Please enjoy.

Who hate closing up camp anywhere? It's amazing to see the micro City's of nylon and canvas shrink. Tiny little Bushcraft micro ommunities sprawl and then disappear in the course of a few days

One of the best ways to learn is from people who are better at it than you. This method of sharpening is used on machetes, which have a lower rockwell and thus, are easier to use. Eber, a native from the river who is an expert boatman, modified my Polar North Machete
Link in bio! New shirt design!
Nothing is more fun than talking about an axe shirt while your Yucuna buddy sustainably harvests a tree for multiple uses in the jungle

A cultural bushcraft fusion moment. We used the trash from the outer portion heart of a palm to try to make sheaths. It worked, even better for machetes, but the Matis and Goran @tanimboca_knives showed us how the inner layer was tough as nails. The Matis use these on their arrows. I also brought down and used a special cultural machete from @my_parang that he sold be, because I was interested in seeing a new grind, style, heat treat and how it works in South america.

@thehiddenwoodsmen not so hidden on the jungle.
I think this was @outdoorsgeorge who basically outfits the whole camp with all of the cool gear he brings. More on that soon.
Here's a tidbit of Camp during the hottest part of the day when we're all relaxing and working on our different Projects. Please check out a slice of life of a @bushcraftglobal jungle trip

A second Eel...
Â
For thousands of years, tribes in the amazon have learned to live in harmony with their environment. During the late 1970’s, when the Matis Tribe we work with, was first contacted, the modern world was introduced to them with all of our modern baggage.
In the dry season, you can find holes in the ground of certain animals. They stay in these holes. The Matis women, being the bad-asses they are, stayed after the Men left, to try hard to get a meal.
While we were walking back from the holes, we heard the melodious cries of jubilation from the women, becoming us back to the hole. They stayed and found them.
The Electric Eel, a genus Neotropical FISH, is as common as a rabbit in the US, if you know what to look for. The Matis tribe even has a rite of passage where you grab one. It hurts. More on that later....
Â
With a @topsknives machete and a bucket, and hard work, the Matis tribe made a spear, and waited for the air-breathing (yes you read that right) fish to come up. With one strong stab, the quickly fashioned spear went right through the head of the electric eel.
Easily 20 lbs of food, and the Matis honor the animal and use EVERY piece of it.
It was wonderful to come along with the Matis and view this practice.

Just a little piece of one Bushcraft Global Experience....
When The Matis are hungry, they eat.

The Electric Eel, a genus of Neotropical FISH, is a species that is very common through out the jungle. Yes they do shock. Cana, a Matis women, got shocked. I even got shocked by a live one later with Peter Magnin (video on that too.)

It was wonderful to come along with the Matis and view a part of their ancient culture.

Bushcraft. Global.

The Signal fire has been lit, and you’ve seen it.
Covid hit last year, affecting the world.
“When Covid ends, I’m going to really travel”
“One day I’ll take that adventure”
“Sounds like the trip of a lifetime”
Your lifetime is happening now. And it's time to fall in love. With the jungle.
The countries are open. 4 different indigenous tribes. The Amazon Jungle. Peru, Brazil, and Colombia. We walk through all of them on the trip. Culture is shared. When you leave the amazon jungle on a bushcraft global trip, you leave friends, not guides.
Repeat Customers: 1 person is on their 6th trip, another, their 3rd. 2 buy people, their second trip. Suddenly………its not a trip of lifetime anymore.
Blowguns, Bows, Bowl, Knife handles, baskets, slingshots, traps, spears, boat paddles, rafts, clothes.
Hunting, trapping, fishing. With modern gear (peacock bass, yes?) all the way to making gear out in the jungle, you do it all.
This isn’t a course. Its an experience.
DM for more information.
100% lifetime changing, satisfaction guarantee. I am Bushcraft Global, and this is my job and passion.
The signal fire, in the jungle, awaits. Will you listen?
September 1-12th. Leticia Colombia
