Survival in Brazil's open country

[Pict]

When people think of Brazil they think jungle. While that is true for much of the country Central Brazil has a great deal of open savannah and scrub land called Cerrado. The Cerrado is characterized by low forests, dry vegitation, grassy meadows and rocky terrain. It is a neat place to practice survival skills.

Shelter resources are limited to rock shelters, grass insulation, and twisted brush for building structures. Normally to lessen our impact on the area we use ponchos or tarps for shelter. I try not to cut any woody vegitation. This land burns off every few years so I don't worry about ripping up grass for bedding or clearing small patches of ground. It's pretty much use it or lose it.

This is a shot taken near our camp to give you an idea of the kind of area where we shot the video.

Wow, I would love to be where you took that pic, Thanks Pict. I thought the vid was A grade material

As with the others, nice video Mac. Looks like you got a bit of a workout collecting grass.

Mac, Nice job, well done. For what it is worth, I and I would guess many others do not have audio on there computers. So the readable bullets at the end helped. Thanks.
