Back to basics in the jungle! An improvised fishing rod with a tasty earthworm attached to the hook 🐠 _ Rivers are the lifelines in the jungle! Food, water and transportation! 🌴 This was my home for 18 days and fishing was a part of the daily routine. _________________________ #jungle #river #sumatra

Winter is coming! What a contrast from the lush green Sumatran jungle 🌴 _____________________ Who's excited about the winter season? ❄️⛷️ _____________________ #winter #norway #dogs

It was amazing to paddle down the jungle rivers in northern Sumatra. I tried not to think too much about all the crocodiles 🐊 I don't know the Indonesian word for crocodile, but the locals illustrated it quite well when they put their palms together and gestured a crocodile jaw opening and closing (forcefully). They would ask me if I weren't "takut" (afraid), and I put on a brave face and insisted that my inflatable raft is croc-proof 😁 _ Thanks to @packraftnorge for letting me try one of their packrafts! Lots of fun and easy to maneuver, even for me who's never really paddled at all before! _________________________ #indonesia #paddle #river

I'm back from the jungle after having survived alone with very limited food for 18 days. Truth be told, I've pretty much starved, besides some fish, frogs and a small daily portion of rice. It's been a tough challenge, both mentally and physically. _ However, it didn't end as I thought it would. I was spotted by some local fishermen, who probably thought it highly unsafe for a foreigner to be here alone. They told the police, who eventually arrived by boat to my camp on day 17. Two boats with both police and park rangers came to escort me out of the jungle. Due to the language barrier, I couldn't really figure out if it was due to my lacking permit, or the inherit risk of being eaten by one of the many tigers. Maybe a combination. They illustrated the danger of tiger attacks quite enthusiastically. _ The guys were super friendly and I couldn't argue my way out of this one. After all, I'm the one who wasn't playing by the rules. We agreed to a compromise and decided to spend a last night in the jungle together. _ I'll share some stories from my jungle expedition in the coming days, but I desperately need food and a proper shower first. Nasi Goreng Ayam, di mana? :) __________________________ #alone #jungle #indonesia
