You really must keep notes of everything as it's happening. So you cover them in tape and have them in a waterproof bag slung at your waist, with a Biro in there. And it's important just to... just to write, scribbling them as you're going along. I mean, these ones are full of little drawings and so on: how you kill a wild boar, a peccary. But this notebook is quite dramatic, because here is Rhodnius prolixus, the assassin bug, that I clapped into my notebook, having pulled it off my face. Pulled it off my neck, in fact, exactly where it injects you if it's been parasitized.

Now this must be... I'd say this is Congo. No, it's not, it's not. It's South America. It's the Yanomami compound. It's bloody beautiful. These things are everywhere. I'd completely forgotten that was in there.
