Jungle Environmental Survival Training Camp (JEST) Subic Bay

Jungle Environmental Survival Training Camp (JEST) Subic Bay

Some of the skills you can learn include basic mountaineering, fire-building, wildlife identification and other wilderness survival technique. One of the most interesting demonstrations is when the guide created a full campfire out of nothing more than dried bamboo; no matches or lighters allowed here.

If you choose one of the more extensive programs, you will be taken through the rainforest on an overnight adventure, without food or water with the Aeta guide by your side. He will show you how to go retrieve water from various plant vines and other important survival skills when you have nothing but your trusted knife at your disposal. Then you will be shown how to cook rice using green bamboo, make insect repellant and soap from certain plants and so forth. Learn from the same instructors who taught jungle survival techniques to the bravest of the brave.
