Some years ago I was wandering through central Malaysia, heading into the last remaining virgin rain forest in SE Asia, the Tamon Negara jungles. We traveled up-river by 10-person motorize canoe for about 6 hours. The only signs of 'civilization' were the occasional bamboo huts seen through the vines growing along the shore. We transferred to a 4-person motorized canoe for another 4 hours on a smaller river, then paddled on an even smaller river for another few hours until we reached the confluence of three small rivers. There we found a jungle 'general store' selling rice, kerosene, rope, machetes, some canned goods... and KitKat bars and Coca-cola.
