My family and I would love to experience this! I jotted down the email address for the Mentawai guide information. Is there any way you could email me a price and/or the process to set this up? Or, should I just email Ricky?? Thanks so much for sharing your experience and inspiring a lot of people. Chess Francois,

It's been months that I am looking for the right spot to shoot my new film with a south east asian tribe and maybe I found it in the Mentawais. all the travelling agencies are asking for so much all over the place that I thought it was impossible to afford the cost of the trip and the the cost of the film as well. I already sent an email to Ricky asking for the price but I would also like to talk about my project with you... Can you send me a rough price for the trip and other info? For this project I would focus on a topic and I am interested in how they hunt. Do they hunt daily or occasionally? What kind of animals do they hunt? ect. thank you for your help Gio Hello Francois,

I have done something similar with the Penan people in Borneo recently...rubber shoes, camping in the forest and village stays, waterfall hikes, etc. Currently in Indonesia, I would be very interested to see your list of costs incl. boat rides and other transport, guide and porter (if they have), village homestay accommodation (is there any other type of accommodation? hammock ok?) and food along the way. How many days did you stay there? Also did you have a problem with condensation and you camera equipment? Cheers, Chloe Australian Hi Francois,
