I saw this the other day and thought it was amazing. Figured I would share it with you guys. Talk about taking wilderness skills to a whole new level.

Same here. I've never even heard of such a thing. Awesome stuff. Not sure if I'll ever be able to make it to that part of the world, but that's on the list if I get to.

Wow that is amazing. Takes years and years to make but strong enough to hold 90 people in some cases, that is just awesome.

Impressive! And we westerners think we know everything.

Impressive! And we westerners think we know everything.

We'd just chop down that tree next to the river and let it fall to the other side. Instant bridge. Why wait 10-15 years, right?

That's something straight out of a fantasy movie! I can totally picture Tolkien-esque elves crossing those. Wicked cool.
