I usually carry a broom stick (hard and heavy type) whenever I venture into the bush or jungle. This stick for entertaining snakes and wild boar. Luckily no snake or wild boar want to be entaintain by me yet. I also carry a small parang (a traditional Malay Knife) for some serious entertaining. So far, never draw the parang yet.
The wild boar has been hunted by the locals for years and they have learn to avoid human contact. But the snakes, somehow also went missing during all of my trips. Maybe they also know how dangerous human really are.
In Johor, the lowland land forest and the oil palm estate are saperated by one tar road. There are electric fence at the oil palm estate and initially I tought that is for keeping all the lembu (domestic cow) out. But now there is a new yellow road sign there with a black elephant on it. ****!
Hopefully I don't get kicking around like a football by the elephants.
I fear wild boar hunters more than any other animals. I don't want to end up being shot like wild boar.
So I usually wear white color during my trips for better visibility. Also as a sign of surrender liao.
