Ramsay's F Word
Beats my filling a magpie storytut wrote:Got lost in the Borneo jungle in '63 during the war with Indonesia. We were on a two day patrol, so had compo rations for that length, but ended up on seven days.
I was lead scout, but had two Iban trackers in front of me (ie they got killed first if we were ambushed), who were normally armed with blowpipes and panjas, but we had given them 7.62 mm SLR rifles, with a couple of days training. No great problem with living from the jungle, they darted monkeys and caught snakes, but the little buggers were so taken with the rifles, that when we came accross an elephant family, they shot the baby before I could stop them.
We ate the fillet, but of course they had the heart and the liver.

I didnt think the pig thing on the F word was that bad actually.
