Gringo vs. Wild part 2

I finally obtained a cheap digital camera and wanted to start documenting some of my trips out into the rain forest here in Costa Rica.

This was very spur of the moment and not much thought went into the filming or editing. I plan to start staying out overnight and doing a somewhat more professional job of capturing the experience sometime in the near future. This was sort of a test run, and is mostly being posted just so my friends can see what I have been up to. Anyway, hope you enjoy.

This video took place on November 17, 2007 from about 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Keep in mind I had to edit 10 1/2 hours down to 10 minutes.

Comments and criticism are highly encouraged.

General info about me:
I am 19 years old and currently living in Atenas, Costa Rica. I have no absolutely no wilderness survival training, I simply do a lot of reading and learn through experience. I make no claim whatsoever that I am any sort of expert nor do I think anyone should listen to my advice or imitate anything they see me do. I am just a stupid gringo who really likes climbing trees and has little regard for his own personal safety.

Did you roast the coffee? what kind of bugs did you collect on your knife? you should invest in learning to make some basic snare traps to place around that hole. but remember, DONT EAT THE HORSE... unless you reeeeeally want... er, need to.

That was great Dan! We'll see if we can find you a body-mounted camera. Who knows... Maybe I'll just go with you some time and film you myself. I think I might have to get used to spiders first though. lol great work!
