thank you when you think up new laws what are you going to. write your for you what should be done i'm not. looking to you know i mean here we make it up as a money but we didn't we took me via media going to me going to one point battle for a living but we didn't want to. write. the province of tom who are as one of the largest bamboo forests in southeast asia. in just three years bamboo storms can grow up to eight meters tall. all the end of my field the lamb. salad that was given in the galley and on. that myself. until night means i came. to line in.

a later. time. they carried the bamboo for more than a kilometer. they are. probably on the my way. up to you my contact visit would you allow me to. quote. the labor is just over a dollar a day coaching and transporting the bamboo. but

the bravest among them can make ten times that much transporting the goods. would. be if you know all the right he. would be our own media poet. if i did. you i cannot do a little better you know that. from

one to. two and a lot more than a thaw. and lucked out in. some way i found out that the more we'll keep them we're told they are. in the top . a good draft must be flexible and narrow to offer a minimum resistance to the current. the ruffed will be nearly fifty metres long. back and. we don't. know who or. no poor me becomes our staff who got none. last year out of our.

the captains know well the challenge that awaits them. they don't need the money the hotel with the. india. and india indian ocean. they've been a ride to follow and are. not only the mikey. thirty kilometers lie ahead and fall a bow as of being tossed about by the river. kwai

. good luck good. luck. but i might like. the time is the hold the bamboo are slowly loosened every time the raft hits some rocks. the raft risks breaking up.

mobilized. you level zero zero zero zero me me. me help me almost all. the week we're. going to go. all in with that detail the whole thing you ought to have. gone home you know. at the end. the men know well the dangers of the long. up ahead the cave ghost passage will test.

thank the legend dream a call. which is is vietnam's main waterway. it nourishes the six countries through which it flows including laos which borders vietnam. after travelling five thousand kilometers from its source in the himalayas this is where the river sits right. over time it's carved out the cone fulls one of the widest waterfalls in the world . yet allow fisherman jump into the water without fear. for me before you write my. card. to you you didn't call our number. is

fifty two. he says it's no coincidence he's never had an accident in forty years. oh i don't know if you need one. that about what was put out by a guy that had set up the why. it would be at that by what the what. the full stretch over navy ten kilometers. allow call this region see found don't the full thousand on. land just south from the fulls and countless waterways of the mekong. this is a familiar hunting ground for. getting there takes good balance

and steady nerves. but on. the other. side. but that's a whole lot yet if. i. might yell.

but. if i want them in my last. but let's. fish or eat upstream. they eventually become trapped and we'll pull further down the river. that make a bit. of a. son yeah casts his net relentlessly and. why do. they. follow it all fit. any point five.

and. up and down and make a dot that got a lot of them and not a lot in life if you want them back. what

. several families share the dangers of the rapids. each has its own fishing take. all. the way and his colleagues catch up to one hundred kilos per day using a remarkable method. but it was not about. what i. thought. it was.

the current pushes the fish into their ingenious wooden ramps all they have to do is pick the fish out of the woods. to make home is home to two hundred different species of fish the largest of which are cool with a trap that must be set in the middle of the rapids. with a little. bit of cock up not about that ha ha ha. ha ha ha ha ha

. put him in i love this and i'm going to put on i'm good and i'm not that good not.

going to be able to come back. so we're. not. going to get up to six. one but you will. learn what they need to good people i don't think either of you know what if you know all about it below is it up i said it was. good no. no no in the light of hope i say. what their. fears have you got it what i. each year two will three fishermen i'll take on the make all. the law abiding you want to me. i don't know he said do you know you're in this and i'm

a mom. i don't need these dolls. by law. abiding by law like a guy. i bought i don't but they are. slowly the fish are disappearing. pesticides as well as a series of dams the largely to blame. in vietnam on the long river the bamboo raft is in smooth the waters the men take advantage of the calm to reinforce it. cuts as usually belong to the moment ethnic group. allies of the french and then the americans in the two wars that have shaken vietnam the hmong are still

discriminated against. it's hard work for some of the lowest wages for your time and when we where. does the mean that only going to look like i don't want it and that. you're not going into a what you would then don't go to congress i'm told that my local one to one that i think you'll find will know me. as the watch has become agitated the raft scene begins its mad rush. bought. all.

turning a rough nearly fifty meters long is no easy task. in the distance lies the infamous ghost. one of the most turns in the river. this time the ghost was leaving. on their last trip the raft was ranked against the

wall. and its bamboo cargoes scattered into the rhythm. one song the song. comes to help. the river bank marks the end of the trip. if. born again. and again. i do not.

doubt it today though it will be. back on land the bamboo must travel another thirty kilometers through rain and mud before reaching the processing plant. the jungle roads are slippery and the droid badly can only take a portion of the goods. being car. been mounted him in the mine outback and have been. accurately and been manatee how often are you name enough i need a hand with you but you know that call buddy in the morgue and i share my bay like you knew i wouldn't go and you need me to mean a bit of a beacon you don't like to be doing that i know what.

you think you could do a deal is struck but for twice the price is. one slip pull wrong turn and find lead could be crushed under his vehicle. santa claus and high level job on the right side that i know what i need to do now what i'm going to pull out will be all through a lot don't you know that all the fighting and i love all that sort of stuff i know that we'll still have. always had only just my money you know we love playing football but when the bell muffled voice we call the mom who keeps in the night of our know what i'm up. to. but i need to do

a little while up the hill to the lot. of. the vehicle plug. so long at the speed of an ox cart. because. after five hours the bamboo finally reaches the processing plant. dirt tracks may well become a thing of the past in vienna. as one of the last communist countries to join the free market the country is throwing.

this bamboo is near the end of its journey. seen consumers across vietnam fold put it to a variety of uses and the hard work of harvesting and transporting it will begin again. in a country beset by poverty and lack of infrastructure. sometimes we risk our lives in taking these roads risk saving lives is a dangerous job as a vaccine so it's on a good twenty four hours there are patients waiting for these medicines who must be in pain lives earth risk a week ago one of the gang stops some vehicles on the road at that can do it with weapons risking it all guinea at this time on al jazeera.
