Jungle Checklists

I was a jungle newbie this time but here are the things I was glad I had with me in the Nicaraguan jungles.  Huge credit to the great packing lists provided to me by my neighbor Martin:

- 100% Deet for Mosquitos

- SPF 70 Waterproof Sunscreen 

- Jerky, Clif Bars, other durable food

- Plenty of water 

- Hammock

- Mosquito net

- Not too many clothes- re-wear external clothing and replace underwear and socks.  Need fisherman-type quick dry, lightweight, cargo pants and shirts and other Dri-Fit clothes and same type of underwear and socks.

- Decent Knife

- Waterproof first aid kit

- Baby powder

- Waterproof headlamp and flashlight

- Large backpack, there are now waterproof ones

- Coleman roll top waterproof bag

- Lower leg wraps to prevent entry of jungle river overflowing the top of boots

- Good jungle boots, Eric had some good  Keen

Top 7 things people in the Jungle need from us:

- Stairs??

- Places their animals can poop other than absolutely anywhere??

Ok seriously ..

- Medical drugs

- Access to medical care

- Education

- Hugs and love - it works, I tried it

- Our humility and respect 

- Jesus, the great forgiver and redeemer 

- Some way of producing income
