I stayed in the forested boundary of Agusan del Sur and Davao del Norte (Compostela Valley) for three years. Ang akong cottage naa gyod sa sulod sa forest. From the highway, musakay ka sa jeep nga kausa ra sa usa ka adlaw nga biyahe for about 30 minutes then sakay na sad ug pumpboat for one and one half hour traversing Agusan River then sakay ug logging truck for 30 minutes and after reaching the crossing, a 4 km hike inside the forest is done again before reaching my cottage. Solo lang ko didto ang my nearest neighbor is 1 and 1/2 km. away ug siya ra sang usa. At most we do huntings on Saturday and Sunday. We hunt only whenever among sud-an mahurot na ug dili sad mi makalugsong kay layo kaayo ang sibilisasyon. Kun makakuha mi ug usa ka baboy ihalas then uli na. We don't hunt for excess sa among makaon. Taga siyudad gyod ko sa Cebu pero it was the help of the Manobo tribe and some forest guards and loggers that I learned the rudiments of jungle survival.
