On those body parts that aren’t covered with SPF-clothing, you want to be darn sure you wear a proven-effective sunscreen. Forget the enticing coconut-butter fragrances and oils. You want sun block in the jungle. I wore Beyond Coastal 15SPF and 30SPF the entire time I was in Bolivia, and didn’t burn. What’s best about this stuff is that it lasted through all the hiking, sweating, and wet-wading. When I climbed out of the tent in the morning, the sunscreen went on first (the sunscreen has to soak into the skin to work effectively). I waited another 10 minutes, then layered the Ultrathon on top. No negative interactions at all.

The Bolivian jungle is a dorado dream destination, but it's certainly harsh on the angler. Here is Kirk Deeter's list of essential gear for a deep jungle adventure.

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.
