:::Question at the end:::
I have been invited to the jungles of Vanuatu and Samoa,
by a couple of Missionary Friends of mine.
They just got back before Christmas, and were gone for a month or so.
I guess this next part really belongs in the:
"But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, "
Category . . .
But it has been on my heart to give Hammocks to Missionaries who spend time in jungles.
My friends have photos that they are suppose to email to me, of:
1. a hand sized poisonous spider on him
2. his back with 200 fire ant/flee/something bits
So this last fall I equipped them with a Tropical 2 and an NX-200
Which they loved and used Nov.-Dec. 2010
This last Sunday we went for brunch
and they told me of many things and about
a missionary and how he lives and works in the jungle,
and how he just sleeps on the dirt at night most times.
Now on these two islands they don't have bears, or cougars,
but poisonous snakes, spiders, and centipedes that are vey large and poisonous.
I said we need to get him a hammock
to which they replied "yes and you should be there to give it to him".
I was dumb founded . . . to say the least.
My wife would really like me to go . . .
and is insisting . . . OK Honey, I'll go on a trip of a life time if you insist . . .
I love flying . . . but in the last 20 years hate the idea of flying,
what with . . . well you know . . .
But some say that "until He is done with you, He protects you"
We talked about time frame, and that they normally go Nov.-Dec.
but that is my crazy busy time and they said that they would change it to Jan-Feb.
So "I have a year 2 gear up”
So Sunday night I placed my order for a Clark Tropical for myself as the NX150 would be to hot in the jungle.
In the year ahead I will purchase a number of CJH to take for to give
and
my question is
Is there much gear that I need, That I don’t already have.
I will Pyrethrin my cloths and . . . but
I figure high top boots and gaters/leggings
But what is the best foot wear ? ? ?
Clothing and clothing material ?
I will take all of my water making kit for sure . . .
Any suggestions for gear ? ? ?
