Pygmy Sets Hunting Net | Ituri Forest, Democratic Republic of Congo
From my journal:
Paluku and I head out with the net hunters… most of our time is without paths… I feel like an elephant around a bunch of little mice… I am constantly tripping on vines; leaves are whipping my arms, legs, even drawn thru my mouth just trying to keep up with these little guys. I think to myself that it makes sense that these folks were formed by this place as a six-foot person, I try to follow a 4-foot guy who is using a machete to cut out a hole in the jungle just his size.
