Mt.Phangrum(4,265m)Dec/2005 (4)
I used heavy trekking shoes and had been slipped on riverside on my previous trekking to Mt.Phangrum on 2004.
So I purchased jungle boots at US military equipment second hand shop.
It costed US$30.
It sied 28cm.
This is OK.
But I felt it quite tight.
I thought its unbelievable American soldier wear such a small size jungle boots.
Anyway I got into jungle shoes and trekked.
My boths calcar pedis got pain less than 5 minutes I started trekking.
I glanced its on my short rest after 1 hour trek.
Oh,my God!!!
I saw beautiful deep red meat on my calcar pedis .
My calcar pedis were peeled out as 2.5 cm X 5cm
Nowander I got pain.
If I wear heavy trekking shoes ,it would be more painful.
The trekking time on that day was just 3 hours and half luckily .
and new constructed car road was enough wide.
So it was easy to trek there.
So I hired flip-flop from one of porters and I could trek the rest 3 hours
by flip-flop withut light pain.
I could not insist to back to Putao due to my painful calcar pedis.
So I cutted my jungle booth open heel of a boot for not touch to
my painful calcar pedis.

My memorial jungle boots I used for Mt.Phangrum on 2005 displayed in my office
I whoop in Karate school usually that Spirit ! Spirit! Move your body by your spirit.
I point to my staffs sometimes in office that Show your spirit.
So I could not give up this trekking and back to Putao due to my peeled painful calcar pedis.
If I have done like that ,I thought nobody follows my advice.
I just thought like that myself.
But even I cutted my jungle boots open heel of a boot for not touch to peeled
painful calcar pedis,I had to trek into jungle and cross river.
Really Painful !!!

Water level was very low on Dec. Easy to cross river on Dec
Somehow I had to trek through jungle along Phangrum river and riverside after second day on my itinerary.

Trekking the jungle along Phangrum river
It was terrible pain!!!
I was disgusted with myself.
But I was feeling my grip on trekking boots were getting poor.
So it is getting difficult for trek.
But my pain can be gone when I found wild animal foot prints .
I could run when I found something long tails like black panther
from a distance.
Because I wanted to look as soon as possible.

Stay overnight riverside. Riverside is like this.
Next article is about the animals ,fish I met during Mt.Phangrum trekking.
