The Experience
Before You Go
Secure your camera
Use a chest or helmet mount and zip-lock bags; river crossings and mud spray will ruin unsecured gear.
Wear closed-toe shoes and long pants
Ankle protection and tough fabric reduce scrapes from branches and hot engine parts; sandals are not recommended.
Bring extra hydration
Tropical heat and adrenaline dehydrate quickly—carry a refillable bottle or use provided bottled water between stages.
Respect village customs
Pause for temple gates and local crossings; keep noise and speed down near homes and ritual sites.
