Jungle Survival Food
- Snakes
Snakes are highly secretive reptiles . They are timid by nature and mainly live in dark and humid environments covered with dark and humid vegetation. They will not actively attack humans, so they rarely see snake traces when walking in forests or wilderness. When collecting plant specimens in the wild, snakes rarely encounter, so there are very few opportunities to be bitten by snakes. However, on the battlefield, the chances of stepping on or pressing on snakes when running quickly or crawling forward are more likely to be attacked by snakes, and the danger is quite high.
In the "recipe" of survival in the wild, snake meat is a very good source of meat, but the number is not very abundant. After all, snakes are hidden very high and are not easy to be discovered.
The poisonous snakes that the Myanmar Expeditionary Force will encounter during the marching of the Wild Man Mountain include: Thai round-spotted viper, original spearhead viper (turtle shell flower), Northern Myanmar original spearhead viper , Thai cobra (Indochina Peninsula viper), king eye snake, silver ring snake , red-tailed green bamboo green and other highly venomous vipers. Once the soldiers of the Expeditionary Force are bitten by poisonous snakes, their chances of survival are very slim when there is a lack of medicine in the wilderness.

licking toad toxins: When you are lost in the wilderness, hunger and cold, live like years, feel depressed, and gradually lose your will to survive? When you see a toad, squeeze out the glands behind the toad's ears and lick it. This venom will stimulate the brain to produce psychedelic illusions and bring pleasure to people, but a little venom will not kill people. Early North American Indians had the habit of licking the venom of Colorado toads, which was used to create hallucinations to relieve pain and worry. When a dog licks the toad venom, the special comfort of the hallucination it produces will also make the dog addicted and unable to stop. Sucking toad venom is similar to sucking psychedelic drugs, so in , Mexico, and the United States, there are a small number of drug addicts who suck the venom of Colorado toads to survive their drug addiction.

They generally use large tanned leather-like leaves as nesting materials, such as large soft leaves of the Rubiaceae family, Semuliaceae family, and the Gentlemen family. As for the large hard leathery leaves of the genus , the genus genus of the genus 8, the genus 9, are not popular.

After removing the wings, they are placed on the stone slab and roasted with fire. The taste is very fragrant, pure and sweet, and it is a food that can be found in the wild.
Eating winged white ants is very common. Generally, this habit is only available in poorer places. Residents will use various methods to prey.

This will be left for a night and you can harvest a large number of winged white ants the next morning.

To reduce pests, broadleaf trees are generally used as mixed forests in pine forests, and common ones include Celestialaceae, Legume, etc.
The pupa of pine caterpillars is more delicious than silkworm pupa after deep-fried. It is also common in tropical rainforests. Therefore, when surviving in the wild, if you encounter a pine forest, you can collect the cocoons of pine caterpillars. Taking out the pupae to roast it is a delicacy.

Generally, insects and larvae that are active in rivers or ponds can be eaten. However, if you don’t eat it frequently, it may cause nausea and vomiting, but in special circumstances, you have to make it hard to eat it. In the wild, you can only roast it in fire or even eat it raw. Generally, insects have a fishy smell, which makes it difficult to swallow or even disgusting.Unless they are natives or less civilized tribes in the mountains, they are usually roasted in fire or boiled in water, which is their regular diet.
Once on the border of Thailand and Myanmar, in the Jialiang village, I happened to encounter a girl preparing a meal. The pot contains boiled fish, shrimps, tadpoles, crawling sandworms, field turtles, water stews and other ingredients. There are no condiments, and a fishy smell comes to my nose, which is disgusting. She only smiled shyly, and seemed a little embarrassed. Because of poverty, they could not be too extravagant for fried food.
Recalling the early years when my mother ate water and boiled salted fish and shrimps, she was happy and I couldn't eat it at all. After all, this was the "dish" she ate every day when she was in the countryside. In the 1960s, I returned to Kouhu Township with my mother during the summer vacation. When I was about to go back to Kaohsiung , my little cousin pulled my mother's skirt and clamored to go back to Kaohsiung with us to eat rice. Just to eat rice, he would rather leave his parents temporarily and stay away from his hometown, and go to his aunt's house for two months before going home. At that time, the land in Kohu Township was barren and life was difficult. The staple food of the meal was white dried sweet potato and some rice, and the dishes were salted small frogs, fish and shrimp. It was rare to see meat foods such as pigs, chickens, ducks, etc., which was very shabby and difficult.
When my little cousin grew up, he became a doctor and ate fat and tender. I remember that like Ah Xin of Japan, he left his hometown to help the servants at the age of four or five. I wonder if he still remembers those "unforgettable" years.
When Ah Xin was a child, he was a staple food of white radish. He would rather endure all kinds of grievances and go to the servants to help him just to have a bite of white rice.
One time, I heard two Vietnamese girls talking about the difficult life situation in Vietnam after the end of the Vietnam War in the 1970s. One of them told me that I ate cassava and cried while the other girl living by the river said that I ate shrimp and cried even when I ate! The girl who ate cassava asked if there were shrimps, and the girl who ate shrimps replied that you only eat boiled shrimps for meals. She smiled and nodded frequently.
So if you have "three rice" in life, you should feel content when you eat it. A bowl of white rice, a bowl of white radish, and a plate of white salt, so happy!
"The Analects of Confucius: Yongye Chapter" said: "How virtuous is returning! One bowl of food and one bowl of drinks, it is in a humble alley. People cannot bear the worries and never change their joy when they return. How virtuous is returning." Reflects Yan Hui’s noble qualities!
