  • We're back in Laos and going on another extreme rainforest expedition into the Lao wilderness with the Hmong tribal people. This time we'll be taking a longboat journey along the river in a remote area in Xaysomboun province, a part of Laos just outside Vientiane province which is undiscovered and unexplored by tourists and travellers. The population here is largely ethnic minorities, with the largest population being Hmong people. We are going to survive and thrive with the local Hmong in the jungle by fishing, hunting, gathering and bush crafting and exploring the deep rainforest of Laos where not many people have been before.

    I wouldn’t call this as a vlog, but it is a beautifully documentary! you have giving us very insightful information about the place and the simple beauty in it at the same time. Also, I like the way how you show the real living style of Hmong people in Laos with the realness and kindness as they are . I just love it!!!!!!!

    The “praying part” is actually an offering of food and drinks to the spirits of the forest,land and surroundings. It is done prior to any feast/eating. It’s purpose is to show respect and in return, protection. It is believed that without the offering, the spirits will do harm, the party will receive bad luck and illness.
    Great video!

    Nice. The praying part is this. The hmong culture is when you go to the jungle or any environments when you want to take resources from the lands you have to ask the mother nature there for the resource. The hmong believe that each lands have spirit owners like in real life and you ask for their permission to take their resources or offer for protections. The offer food is showing gratitude for the taken resources, a sign for luck on great hunt with better chances and most important the offer protections from all sources like bad animals like predators, monsters, ghost, bad omen or lots more like bad stuff that could harm or get to you. When you eat in the jungle or foreign environments you have to give a little back to the mother nature spirit there. Whether if you eat from the resources off that environment or just your food from home it's wise, to offer some to the spirits that inhibitat that place. Safety and luck of what you need.

    Hmong people are natural born hills people. They have big lung capacity also they have a way to breath through their nose or mouth. My dad who is old now would do this as a kid with his friends to go catch some fish and it would be funny activities. Sometimes accidents happens. But not a lot. Us Hmong people have hysterical about rivers and waters because of our religion but sometimes it better to not think too much and just respect nature. But this is superhuman on a level.
