**Forest Apprentice・Tefuno**
Mountain forest trainee, before a man becomes an adult, he must be brought into the mountains by the elders of his family to learn hunting and wild survival. "The culture will disappear one day, and I want to do my best to continue the culture before it disappears." What can we do before the hunter culture disappears?
If you love mountains and want to get rid of the suffocation of the urban jungle and go into nature, then come to a mountain forest trainee that belongs to you. There are no complicated mountain roads, no special physical needs, and no camping experience required. Follow the footsteps of hunters and take you deeper. In the mountains and forests, you can learn the skills of survival in the mountains, and you can feel the wisdom left by the ancestors everywhere, as well as the shock brought by the Tsou culture. Everything in the mountains depends on your hands. After two days and one night, you will know yourself better and make your connection with the land a little deeper.

**- Zou-style taste, new feeling**
lunch time! Innovative cuisine with local ingredients,
After a full meal, get ready to go up the mountain!
(Before going up the mountain, everyone will be asked to do the final supplies at the Tribal Grocery Store, and then think about what you forgot to bring! This is also the place where there is a signal at the end. After entering the mountain, there is no signal at all.)
**- Mountain forest trainee, follow the hunter up the mountain to stay for one night**
Take a mountain Ferrari to the hunting grounds,
Build hunting lodges, prepare land, chop bamboo, set up camps,
fetching water, picking up firewood, making bamboo cups,
Learn the life wisdom of hunters.
(It takes about 40 minutes to walk on a mountain road from the entrance to the camp. The road is generally flat, but some sections are slippery and muddy. It is recommended to wear hiking boots or rain boots. It doesn't matter, but don't go to 77 because your shoes are dirty and wet!)
**- Zou-style picnic**
Do-it-yourself dinner!
Tsou hunters are particularly good at and pay attention to "barbecue".
Even in the mountains, you can eat a delicious taste that makes you want to cry!
(a`tai guides on the sidelines, teaches the secrets of barbecue, everyone will do it yourself for dinner tonight!)

**- Sharing by the fire pit**
The ancient Tsou folk sings and shares the life of hunters,
When there is fire, it becomes a meeting place.
**- Hunting trail exploration and observation at night**
Take a break after dinner,
Set off on a hunting road,
Observe the traces of animal movement,
If you are lucky, you may even see the prey by your side!
(Most of the hunters hunt at night. Follow a`tai for about 40 minutes. Remember to bring your headlights to avoid danger. If you encounter animals, just observe them, you won't really hunt them! )
｜Day 2｜
**- Zou-style picnic breakfast**
The secret of making a fire and roasting meat taught by a`tai last night,
It's your turn to play this morning!

**- About tribal farming**
On the way down the mountain,
Maybe through a bamboo forest to pick bamboo shoots,
Or go around into the coffee garden,
through your hands,
to learn about life here.
**- Say goodbye to the forest and return to the tribe**
Take a tribal Ferrari back to the Tefuye tribe,
Begin to restore the signal.
**- Hand made hunter's bagpipes**
The tool used to recruit tribesmen,
Rotating hard to make a loud sound echo in the valley,
It's the old line!

**- Tribal walk in Tefuye**
Returning to the tribe from the mountains,
Let a`tai tell the story about Tefuye,
About the disappearing Tsou culture,
On young people’s efforts to perpetuate the culture…
**- Finally, leave a little blank**
Walk into the tribe at your own pace,
You can have a bowl of handmade love jade,
Or drink a cup of coffee grown by Alishan.
**- Tefuye break away, leaving the tribe**
I miss the peace in the mountains,
A night without a signal to disturb,
There is also the shock brought by the wisdom handed down by the hunters,
Next time, come back together again, okay?

**【Bring items】**
1. Two-piece raincoat: It is safer and less likely to wet the pants. Why is it not recommended to wear a poncho-style raincoat? Because it's like walking on a mountain road in a long skirt, you will fall!
2. Sleeping bag: Be sure to bring it! The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is huge, so you can sleep in a sleeping bag to avoid losing temperature
3. Sleeping pad: When you sleep in the mountains, you lie directly on the ground (a layer of ground cloth will be laid), but the ground is uneven. A sleeping pad can help you sleep well at night, and it can block the moisture on the ground, avoiding sleeping bags. Because the ground air is humid, it loses its function of keeping warm.
4. Headlight: I will take everyone to observe at night, please be sure to bring it with you to avoid danger, flashlight and mobile phone light cannot be used instead
5. Personal environmental protection tableware: Please reduce the use of disposable tableware to protect the earth! Please be sure to bring it, otherwise you can only use your hands when eating in the mountains at night
6. Sufficient drinking water for individuals, at least two liters are recommended
7. Wear long-sleeved trousers: prevent mosquito bites and plant cuts in mountainous areas
8. Warm clothes: The camping site of the hunting ground is about 1500 altitude. In summer, it will be slightly hot in the sun, and the temperature difference between day and night is about 10 degrees.
