The video is a survival training course in the Brazilian jungle. The participant, who is new to this kind of training, enrolls in a jungle survival course taught by two instructors, Edivaldo Sertório and Arildo Cleto. The course covers safety, food, and movement in the forest. The participant is tasked with surviving two days in the jungle, learning as many skills as possible.
The training begins by packing only essential items and leaving behind non-essential items. The participant learns the importance of the machete as a survival tool in the forest. The training also includes a hike along a trail, where the participant encounters various dangers such as the Jararaca snake, which causes the most accidents in Brazil.
The training continues with the participant being asked to cross a river, a task that takes the participant a long time due to the rotten bridges. The participant is then tasked with setting up a shelter and collecting firewood. The participant is also taught how to cook and prepare food in the jungle.
The training continues with a night exercise where the participant is tasked to walk alone in the woods at night without a flashlight but with a guide cable. The participant also needs to memorize a complex phrase.
The final task involves a compass track theoretical class, where the participant needs to apply what they learned in the previous classes. The participant also performs an aerial crossing of a watercourse.
