Can you talk a bit about how exactly you navigate in the jungle when gps signals are blocked by the foliage? Navigating by compass in such a dense, featureless landscape seems almost impossible as even a small misstep in direction might throw you way off.

Also how long are the group expeditions you run usually and are they hiking or boating trips?

Interesting, thanks for the answer.

I'll drop you an email then! Is it ok if I send you a pm with some more questions as well at a later point? I'd like to pick your brain a bit about gaining jungle skills and such, but I need to organize my thoughts a bit before.

Oh I'm really surprised to hear that. Most reports of jungle expeditions in modern times I've read seemed to suggest that gps devices are basically useless away from rivers, I think Lucy Edmondson also mentioned that they mostly relied on maps for that same reason. Are they special devices with better reception than phones or regular gps devices? What are they called?

I actually meant the group expeditions you mention on the website that you run in may and october that are open to the public. I'm looking at joining a long, challenging jungle expedition next year and have already had an offer from a company in Peru, but I'm still looking at other options. I'm mostly interested in the expedition element - moving across a large area of untouched jungle by foot or paddling a boat/packraft/kayak - rather than a survival/bushcraft course.
