Almost pecked a snake Good luck still exists

Entering the third day in the forest, as usual we do their respective activities.Para memei has been cooking since 4 am. After washing themselves in the river, we prepare to start the day. The memei cuisine is on a wooden table in the middle of the camp. Time for breakfast. We started breakfast and after that the picket washed the dishes doing its job, then the team who would take the data in the forest each filled the lunchbox with rice and side dishes that the memeis had prepared in the kitchen.

Before starting our activities, each team prayed and said the yel yel of each team loudly and began to walk into the wilderness. Today my team will look for other avenues that allow us to take tree measurements. As usual we are independent again today, only plus one person assigned as a photographer.

Because we have to take measurements of trees, then we have to find a flat location to facilitate more activities.Just from that it is very difficult to find such a location, a forest that has the contour of a ravine, and the, very tight hills and shrubs make us a bit difficult to find the right location.

Because we were tired, we finally decided to take measurements at this location alone, close to the river and a little flat although we still have to go up a little more to avoid the ravine next to it.At least of all points that have been sought this is more possible. In addition, if you want to rest or lunch later we can go down to the river bank. Kmai took measurements of the trees at that point. A little difficulty as well because most of the trees are large. One tree should be measured by two or three people because the trunk circle is very large.

One funny thing happened at that time, we found a tree that was very large and had high tires. (Water is a root that appears to the surface of the ground and is shaped like a tree trunk, if you want to measure the diameter of a grained tree, it must be done on top of the tire). The tree tyre was quite high as well so it was quite difficult to climb. Because I was a woman, my two friends (Dika and Mat) did not allow me to climb trees. Actually this is one of the good things if women come to the field, feel pampered because they cannot do heavy work.

I just waited under that tree. One of my friends who was climbing asked me to record a video of them climbing the tree. Mat, my underclassman asked me to record using his phone, which was still full of battery because it had not been used since arriving at camp."Tea please videoin us yes, said Mat when he wanted to climb the tree. "Okay, where's the hape? my many. It just took it in my bag, the jawbnya then they started climbing.

I took Mat's phone out of his bag and started shooting videos.

They look troubled when trying to find the big tree, their hands occasionally touch and suddenly they look at each other for a long time, he said, when the measuring rope he used could finally be perfectly looped on the big tree. "Teh, please note the diameter so many words Mat. I sat under the tree and answered "okay ready"then record the numbers mentioned Mat earlier on a paper that we call tallysheet.Tallysheet (the guiding paper for data retrieval in the field that has been written with several columns and titled according to the data to be collected).

The sun was getting higher, we decided to go down to the river and have lunch there. In this forest or on the river bank sometimes our phones are useful, because sometimes there is a signal that is caught. At least can open IG even though it is not smooth, or just reply to WA group pesn.Makanya we always carry a mobile phone every time we take data, data, because it is rarely used, our cell phone battery is quite strong and still lasts until the third day.

We sat on the riverbank and opened the lunch that each had brought. Well, noodles again noodles, I said. We have eaten noodles almost every day in this forest, this afternoon we also eat noodles again. Rice with indomie side dish. Eat tea, which is important to be full. After the night there must be someone looking for shrimp or sogili, hopefully there can be a lot Mat told me.

We finished lunch a few moments later.In the river there is a big rock and it looks good to take a photo there. Tea, a photo of yuk on the stone, said Mat while pointing at the stone.

We started the selfie action with various styles on the rock. Shortly after we took a photo of a porter passing by and carrying something looped in his hand.Where is the bang? ask us Oh, I want to go in there for firewood, he replied. Oh, that's what's in brother's hand? ask Mat. This snake was met near the camp, snake land if people here say the answer again. The color of the snake is indeed more like the ground so if it is removed in the forest or left alone it will not look like a snake if our eyes are not observant.

"Can't? I asked brother porter. This is usually high, if bitten can immediately die to, he replied.Waduh spooky also said the three of us. Yasudah e sa left first, the brother porter again walked and suddenly threw the snake he had brought into the river in front of us. Let him be there he said.

Because we still want to unwind, we just play water on the edge of the river. Suddenly something scary happened. The snake that was released by the porter, apparently approached to the edge of the river, probably because of the water that was ready because of the small stone that we threw into the river. We are not aware of the danger and are continuing our activities. Suddenly Mat shouted in surprise. Thumb watch out in front of the feet of his screams. The shocked me immediately kept my feet away from the water and we ran towards the forest. The snake almost pecked my foot. I was very shocked and probably because of the sound of Mat's scream, the snake turned around and entered the river again. Luckily, luck was with us that day.
