      Hi Millie.Liv,

      Hmm. I would certainly be willing to try! Jungles are a dangerous place, I suppose initially you would need to find a safe place to sleep, and one which is away from nasty insects, which could cause disease. Then I think you’d have to find a clean water source, otherwise dirty water could also make you very ill. There’s lots of interesting but deadly diseases in the Jungle, so I think it would be very tough, even if you made out some excellent plans..

      It would probably depend on what belongings I had, and if I new roughly where I was – some people train for years to survive such things, so I think I would have a hard time. We are all very used to living quite easy lives. We get all the food and water we want, which isnt true for everyone, and would come as a shock.

      Could you?

      Oli
