Greg and I had a meeting with Wilbur Sabido, Chief Forest Officer for Belize, a very influencial man. I’ve heard a lot about him this year but it was good to put a face to a name. The Forestry Department of Belize is fully of very educated, passionate and personable people. It gives working for the conservation of Belize a whole lot more determination.
And then a trip over to Belize Communication and Security Limited to figure out the VHF system, which we hadn’t used for the first part of this year for cost and coverage reasons. It helps a lot when running jungle training over a few weeks, plus no mobile bills from Landys to Fieldbase. VHF is good fun, more than satphones, but it has to come down to cost. Lots of our batteries are on the age limit of usefulness. One of those areas that can’t be scrimped on.
Also went back to Farmer’s Trading Center in Spanish Lookout to meet up with Harold to talk about supplying rations and to see if we could make any savings on different products. Then darting into Caribbean Tire to fix those two punctured spares.
