Smalland: Survive the Wilds

What a beautiful garden, the sunbeams dapple as they reflect off the pond, the grass sways gently, a few insects buzz gently around the bushes. Zoom in. No, zoom in more. Just a little more. Until the trees become skyscrapers and even blades of grass tower over you, flowers become explosions of colour and a pond becomes a sea. The sight alone, is breath-taking. And then there’s the noise, it’s full of noise down here, a squadron of wasps zoom overhead, their buzzing drowning out the swish of the wind and the sing-song chatter of the birds.



Suddenly, this place is no Eden. Danger lurks behind every corner, insects the size of double decker buses, venomous dragonfly and dinosaur sized rodents after a morsel of meat. And that’s before the weather takes its toll. Raindrops that smash into the ground around you like grenades, winds that can whip you into the air and deadly hailstones dropping like a meteor shower from a disaster movie.
