This is awesome. I went through the 24 and 48 hour course as a Marine stationed there in 1992. We all laughed because the instructors would make us eat snails and food out of bamboo, but when night came and we were getting ready for bed, they would all go out to McDonald’s….

hahaha di ko malimutan yan haha ganda dyan sa jest daming ibon hehe

I bought a couple of jungle bolos made by the JEST cadre before leaving ‘B’ Co., Marine Barracks in 1986. I should’ve bought ten while I had the chance. Do you know how I can get ahold of some more? Semper Fi!

My dad Eking Bulatao, is the founder of JEST in 1960. I read your comment, looking for bolos. The only way you can get some original ones are back in the Philippines, my original nigrito relatives. I only got one left which of course im keeping, my dad had brought some here when he went to PI, 7 years ago. He had gave them to friends. Let me tell you now, there are alot of people selling some jungle bolos, but there not the original made by nigritos. And im pretty sure you can tell the diff..

This person on this video is not a negrito. Looks like he was just hired to show a demonstation. Its just sad people (tourist) using the JEST name to make money. They just coping the name to make money.

I don’t know. Maybe he’s mixed Negrito and lowlander.

awesome

Aside from the demo, they also provide overnight camping trips where you’ll get a chance to actually make a fire using bamboo stalks.
