We didn't know the names of the plants, haha! Most survival books do advise you to do the same thing. You just have to survive on your rations while you try to look for safe jungle plants to eat.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-53613436688499238562011-06-06T21:56:43.099+08:002011-06-06T21:56:43.099+08:00I agree with your assessment of the survival test....I agree with your assessment of the survival test...is that what you really really need to do?

I'm off to China for a conference next week, so anytime at the end of June or in July would be great!

I bet the first one they'll talk about will the magnificent mahoganies lining the Foxworthy Rd and then the majestic casuarinas leading to the DG's office. The humongous buluh betung clump (interestingly, not native to Malaysia) should be in the list, as well as the araucarias and acacias. Enough said. Have I made you salivate for more? Buy Mama a cappucino and she'll be putty in your hands. purrr....meow!Cat-from-Sydneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04316678270023647758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-51765706024028037832011-06-01T12:38:04.758+08:002011-06-01T12:38:04.758+08:00Dear Pat,

When we put our ear against the trunk, we can actually hear the tree's lifeforce... all those nutrients and fluids going up and down the tree like a pulse.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-12501365930436298282011-06-01T12:36:07.182+08:002011-06-01T12:36:07.182+08:00Dear Kitties-from-Sydney,

We are merely laypersons, and some participants are teens, and so they couldn't give us too much info to absorb in a single day. We covered 16 different indigenous plants. Our next workshop will be on the "Foreign Stars of FRIM". I want to learn all about the cannonball tree!~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-3898275545378034022011-06-01T12:32:16.761+08:002011-06-01T12:32:16.761+08:00Dear Ellen, Au and Target,

If I were in a survival situation, I'd stay away from mushrooms because some can kill without you showing any allergic reaction during the initial tests.~CovertOperations78~https://www.blogger.com/profile/05533605886607468773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-91752995929154736212011-06-01T12:30:32.880+08:002011-06-01T12:30:32.880+08:00Dear Mamasita,

Anyway, they didn't teach you how to make herbarium specimens or teach tree identification techniques? Mama said in the old days, officers had to pass three subjects - tree identification, wood identification, and prepare herbarium specimens - to be confirmed. Serious! On top of the government General Order examinations. You should hear her telling Dad what that tree is, this tree, that fruit, wherever they travel. purrr....meow!Cat-from-Sydneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04316678270023647758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4037275061245964811.post-80321494809627939062011-06-01T08:06:19.143+08:002011-06-01T08:06:19.143+08:00Nice tree pics, Ee Lynn.
