The number one survival element in the world is water. As you can see from this photo of Ramiro kicking back in a dugout on the river, the Rio Sécure flowed surprisingly cool and clear. The natives drank eagerly from these waters. But, again, we had no margin for error.
One small mistake, one tiny bug that caused gastro-intestinal illness amongst the crew could have doomed the entire expedition. As such, we took no chances.

I have to ask, how many boxes of flies do you have?
Rods? Reels?

Wow! What a trip. I'm glad to hear all returned safe and sound. The Brunton solar panels have peaked my interest. Can't wait for Julys issue.
Awesome - one of these days I'd love a trip like that. Maybe when I retire???
I dont know if I will ever take a trip like this one but it looked like a great one thanks for sharing
The story was superb.
I finally got around to reading the related article in the magazine. One of the best written and most enjoyable that I recall in a long time. Would love to see more adventure stories like this in the mag.
