Title: The Hack In (2 of 13)
Added: Jan 11, 2010
Author: Colhane
Duration: 4:53
Description:
This video records our progress hacking our way down an old mining road at the start of a six day trip. This was a very difficult hike due to the overgrown conditions of the "trail" and was a foretaste of things to come. The entire trip we had to adjust our plans to account for the difficulty of moving forward. This was not a hike but a hack.

Jan 11, 2010 - These videos are great...what really drives you to push so hard and set yourself and friend up in these conditions?5/5

Jan 11, 2010 - Can't decide whether hacking through that stuff looks tremendous fun or an endless Sisyphean task. Either way, your videos keep on inspiring me to get out more! Thanks.

Jan 11, 2010 - That's interesting. Well, now I know if I'm ever in Brazil, look for bright orange water. lol Thanks for the reply, man. Looks like you guys worked hard and were rewarded well. Beautiful place.

Jan 11, 2010 - Do you ever encounter those crazy deadly caterpillars or get a lot of leeches and whatnot on you when you're clearing that heavy bush? Does insect repellent help in that sort of intense environment? Do you have any stories about running into vipers or other crazy dangerous wildlife? They prolly hear you comin from miles away and see those machetes and scram, I guess.

Jan 11, 2010 - Great work Colhane. Trying to video in those conditions cant be easy.

Jan 11, 2010 - Looks good I am not all familiar with Brazil is there unfriendly' s you have to tend with in bush .
Colhane Says:
Jan 11, 2010 - I have alot of respect for Les Stroud doing all that filming and packing all that camera gear. We did this with a Canon Powershot 520, a Gorilla Pod, a home made pole mount, and a tupperware of AA batteries, pretty simple lightweight stuff. The downside to filming yourself is that the really difficult stuff doesn't get filmed because you are too busy doing.Our mantra on this trip was STOP - FILM - Take the Bushcraft Home.

Jan 11, 2010 - wow that orange water is very striking !we have red soil in parts of Australia , but I've never seen it make the water bright coloured like that.

Jan 11, 2010 - Well I sincerely appreciate it. When I go hiking a video doesn't come into it.. dont want to show you all me panting like a dehydrated puppy :D
Colhane Says:
Jan 11, 2010 - I never encounter other people in the bush. There is an assortment of nasty creatures though.

Colhane Says:
Jan 12, 2010 - We are not driven or pushed to do this, we are drawn. It is one thing to look out over a beautiful landscape like Central Brazil and appreciate the view. It is another thing entirely to know it up close firsthand and then look out over that same view. You gain a whole new appreciation for what it is and deep respect for those who went before.

Jan 14, 2010 - That is amazing ! Thank you.

Feb 15, 2010 - Thanks for the video! I am going to visit a rainforest this summer in Indonesia. I am learning a lot from your videos.

Sep 4, 2010 - I get so caught up watching these videos. I like your style of shooting and reporting. After 2 minutes into video, i feel like I am there. Very Nice, and thanks to you and Guillano for making them. I appreciate you all making them and sharing with us. Are there mosquitos/gnats, as I dont see you all swatting them away... or is it the Tabasco sauce that keeps them away?
Colhane Says:
Sep 4, 2010 - Thanks for your comment. The mosquitoes are really bad only around dawn and dusk. Our big problem is usually ants.

Apr 2, 2011 - why leather sheaths in such a high humidity place? why not thin light weight kydex? i know that sounds ridiculous but theres good attachment options and they easily strap to your pack, side, or back.
Colhane Says:
Apr 2, 2011 - The leather is treated (saturated) with beeswax and holds up well. Nobody makes kydex sheaths here.
justyoustupid Says:
Apr 2, 2011 - animalmotha and another guy has a video on how to make a sheath out of pvc pipe, you should try it, it seems like a good project and you can make yourself a good sheath
Smegger Says:
Aug 7, 2011 - Really glad i found your channel , some really great videos you do .
Colhane Says:
Jan 11, 2010 - Camp goes up relatively quick. I don't clear the ground to bare earth, just a chopped out tramped down patch with nothing poking up. Raw jungle to camp is about an hour.
