Thanks Steve. It didn't play but got the point.
The Brazilian army train its elite troops in that forest. They send the guys out with a rifle loaded with five rounds. Hunting knife. One match box, a map and compass.

Deliver them by helicopter to the middle of the jungle and tell them to come back in 5 days. One magazine once interviewed those guys, and I can tell you, it isn't a pretty picture they say about surviving in the fu..ing jungle.
No wonder the Brazilian Indians like a reservation with running water, and satellite TV! That thing look only good on the Discovery Channel!!!

They finish the article warning: If you ever see one guy with a badge with a snake smoking a cigarette, don't mess with him.

I wonder if one them meet one of those guys who chain themselves to trees.

'Deliverance', with Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds and Ned Beatty, a good John Boorman's film.

Guys go to the forest and the river to down white rafting. Had fun until the forest inhabitants get back to them.

My take on that film is what nature does to people.
