'Cause I'm sure he didn't notice how the locals were dressed... My uncle wears long sleeves to work out in the hot sun; he had some melanomas removed several years back and can't risk more sun damage. Then there are bugs...

@MegaFilmpro I believe he wears those things to protect himself from insects, sharp sticks and leaves and plants similar to nettles or poison ivy while walking through thick brush.

@MegaFilmpro The indians are acclimated to the area and the bugs don't bother them the way they do someone from outside the area. Protect from bugs, scrapes and scratches.

parang usually originated in south east asia,in malaysia,people from southern peninsular will call it parang,and up to the north they call it golok,usuallywe made parang/golok using a lorry spring absorber but for sharper and more strong we use a railway steel,btw im from malaysia
