Sister Peter Pan. The hats are made from big jungle leaves to protect you from the sun.

Peter Pan

Can you see the fire? I wish you you could see how he did this. It took about 30 seconds.

More of what they use to build a fire.

This is dry bamboo. They are going to make a fire.

This is a vine where water drips out of it.

JEST Camp is a Jungle Enviromental Survival Training Camp. They train the military, but it's also a tourist attractraction. We went with some friends, Bro.and Sister Wright, for a sight seeing adventure.
The Camp showed us how to survive using bamboo and other vines and plants.
Can you see the spoon sitting on top of the "plate", and the cup? Bamboo has sections. At each section point, it is solid, so you can pour water in it.
One of those pieces was a rice cooker. You take one section which is solid on both ends. you make an opening at the top big enough to put your rice and water in. Cover it with the piece you cut off, then put it in the fire to cook. These utensils are made from green bamboo.
