Anyway...regarding the area you're in and the wildlife (iirc)
- elephants vrs knife would do you not much good. Maybe a mahout (elephant handler) can teach you some tricks but....
- tiger / leopard vrs knife .... mmm false sense of security, would opt for the face on the back and working in pairs or a spear type thing (told you about Cold Steel
)
- snakes...well don't tread on them, leave them alone; this should be enough (otherwise your parang should do)
- makaques (spelling?) Unfriendly monkeys with a nasty bite: Parang
- Rhino: eeh.... see elephant
- Any thing I missed?
Reminded me of a visit around Sengai Kinabatanga in Sabah with Lan trying to track wild elephants whilst bare chested and bare footed thru the jungle following Mogli (Lan)... Not the smartest thing I ever did. We heard the elephants, saw the tracks (stepped in them) but never saw them....
We did manage wild Orang Utan though
Good luck Ash and hope to meet up some day...
