FRONT LAND Pygmy BAAC (continued, p.2) All adults, except the cook, went hunting. BAAC able to move in an impenetrable thicket with extraordinary ease. They do not make their way with a machete. After several attempts to use my machete, I think I understand why they do not. To cut through his clearing is required to spend a lot of energy. Much easier to simply bypass all that occurs on the road. We walked through the jungle is much faster than I walk down the street in Boulder (city in Colorado, USA - approx. Perevi.). At this speed there was no way to see the traces of animals or to see the snake. I felt even more awkward when I noticed that one of the women generally went barefoot. In this case, on her head was a basket in her hands she bore a child and a network for hunting. It was as if the thorn bush is not there. Material for the ropes after a few hours my sister said goodbye to us and went back to the city on business. Now I have traveled through the jungle with a handful of people with whom I could not even talk. The next few hours, I just followed one of the guys. After six hours of hunting, we are still caught nothing and missed the game several times. Here young men decided to go way back together with me. Maybe they were just trying to get rid of my presence on the hunt. My companions were very superstitious. At some point, after an unsuccessful hunt beginning of a long controversy. My sister told me that, as the wife of one of the guys had to take down, good luck in hunting them escaped. And why her husband was no longer permitted to be installed networks. Later, the rest of the hunters returned to camp with little prey. They managed to catch the blue duiker (medium-sized antelope - the object of research of my sister), a small bird and Gabon viper (one of the deadliest snakes in Africa). Viper We ate meat Zucker and some African food at dinner and at breakfast the next day. Spend time alone with the BAAC was not such a problematic task. But several hours later, he returned to the camp Moli (BAAC, which accompanied my sister to the city). He approached me, greeted me and showed his face, half of which was quite covered with blood. The guy was drawn into the fray, and his century was cut in half inches long. Medical supplies were only for me, so I wore gloves, washed the wound with a syringe and bandage. I was absolutely sure that the wound should sew, I have been with him all that is necessary for this. I decided that if during the hours we do not take to a doctor, I do zashyu his wound. Although I never would have thought that when the first time in my life I will sew up the wound anyone, the damage will be on the eyelid, and I'm in the jungle, and everything will happen in light of the lantern, laid down on my head. Perhaps as a result of this "operation" I got to the one-eyed friend. I have done everything possible to persuade BAAC that guy should go back and find a doctor right now, at night. And he could not understand why they want to wait until morning. In the end, Molly went to a local nurse, and she has left him a few stitches. Cook dinner Later that evening, when all was quiet, BAAC performed a traditional dance for me perfume. They beat off the rhythm, using different subjects, and one of them struck the machete, which was stuck into the ground. Women clapping and singing. The music they play is different from anything I've heard before. It is very difficult to describe. A feeling that everyone who sings in that much, but in the end, as if by chance, they begin to sing the same tune. Children with duiker carcass BAAC believe in the forest spirits, and this song motivates someone to have to play the role of the spirit. Music lasted 40 minutes. In the beginning, I occasionally heard rustling in the jungle behind. He slowly approached and becomes stronger. Then the spirit began to occasionally yell and shake the trees. In the end, he was right behind us, but we could not consider it as it should, because there was no light. In the end it came out to dance in front of us. It was difficult to see the details, but I noticed that the spirit was covered with leaves, his body was plastered with phosphorescent roots. This was the culmination of the dance, and then there was silence. The next morning we woke up, eaten all Zucker, collected camp and hit the road. Start material:
