    • Falling Coconuts: I'm not kidding! If you hear rustling in the palm fronds of the trees above you don't assume it's a bird. Cover Your Head! Since there weren't any hospitals on the island (just a drunk doctor) the last thing you need is a gaping head wound. I was never hit but there were a few close calls. The heavy thump of a coconut hitting a few inches from where you're standing can wake you right up!

    Warnings Or Dangers: Wild Dogs

    • Here's the tip I was given. "If you ever find yourself in the jungle surrounded by wild dogs and they start circling you, always try to determine which is the leader. He's probably the most aggressive one. Try to keep your front to him, since pack will want to take you down from behind and the leader will usually start the attack."
    I was ten and impressionable so this advice pretty much kept me out of the jungle.
