  • Nice video, interesting about your long first study in Siberut. What was the name of the final village, the one you mentioned as having some local primates almost becoming tame? It sounded like 'Pulet'.

  • When I went there 15 years ago I took a pair of surfing booties, they're amazingly effective for gripping, they are lightweight and kept the feet clean and protected.
