Coca farmers in Bolivia avoid hours of crossing steep valleys using home made zip lines (there is a video link):

Doesn't suprise me. Cocas and Narcos scare me more than anything else in the jungle. Would be awesome if they had their own exclusive line so I didn't run into them. I've been freaked out enough stumbling on contraband plant harvests out in the middle of nowhere in the US. And it makes perfect sense since ziplines are huge down there for the tourist market and canopy research.

You're a braver man than me! Most of the time, I would imagine it's safe, but it's also a matter of being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Thanks for that link as well. Funny how self reliance is being encouraged everywhere else, but being persecuted by our own government.
