The patrol route led deep into the forest, where dense clusters of bamboo blocked the way, forcing the soldiers to use machetes to clear a path.

In many sections, dense forest growth blocked the way, forcing the soldiers to weave their way through.

Not only did they have to cross forests, but along the march, the soldiers also had to wade through many slippery streams.
