Demonstration of the survival techniques in Tropical rain forests in the Philippines. Captain of the United States Air Force, Jim Holt demonstrates shelter building and cooking techniques: Jim chooses a campsite above the high water mark. He builds a shelter using wooden sticks.

Demonstration of survival techniques in tropical rain forests in the Philippines. A man cuts branches of trees. Aerial view of a hut built atop a hill surrounded by heavy foliage. Demonstration of transportation techniques in a swampy area show use of a probe stick to move and moving using a floating device built by light weight wooden sticks tied together. Another floating device can be made by trapping air in clothing tied up by strings. Water hyacinth is filled in parachute canopy or flight suit and is used to move in the swampy area.

Demonstration of survival techniques in tropical rain forests in the Philippines. An airman demonstrates techniques to move in rapids: the airman floats in whitewater in a stream using a raft. To move in less violent rapids face forward. In violent rapids one should relax and float with the water current. To cross rapids in a narrow running stream a handrail should be used. An airman ties up wooden sticks to each other and builds a handrail. He holds it and crosses a stream and canals. An airman demonstrates how to tie a slip knot which enables one to release his bag and swim freely during an emergency.
