As soon as we arrived in the jungle, we moved upstream on the Rio Sécure with the Tsimáne Indians in their dugout canoes. We brought freeze-dried and canned food (I brought beef jerky from the States, which, after a few days, tasted like filet mignon, and was a huge hit among the Indians), rice, water, Coca-Cola, and some coolers with ice. Beyond that, we had to catch the main courses.

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.
