" I've made it past the rapids, but me and my raft are pretty battered. We might not have been pretty but I've made some good distance down river. But really, I'm gonna make better progress, now, on foot. So let's get out of here. I'm glad to get off that river, but I'm wet, tired, and hungry. My first priority? Food. See these? Now, these are fly agaric mushrooms. We might look at them and think,"

" Tasty, have some of that,"

" but that'll be a big mistake. These are nasty. I don't even really want to touch them. If you eat that, you're gonna end up with vomiting, really violent vomiting. Go delirious and if you don't get treated, you're even fall into a coma, and yeah, the way I always work with mushrooms is unless you absolutely know with utter certainty what you're dealing with, leave them alone. It's not worth the risk. Well, there you go, though. When your body needs energy, you don't give up. You see this guy? And it's really just like a snail, but without a shell. See all of that? And actually. Yeah, that's edible. You don't wanna eat it raw. So it can often contain parasites and so you don't know what they'd be feeding off. That might have been feeding off a poisonous leaf. Slugs are edible, but they're only safe to eat if they're cooked. Okay, get that on there. Get these slugs. There you go. I got one and the crew has managed to find another couple to add to this. Squeeze the guts out. Look, you can see all of that stuff there. There you go, that's the bit of it. It probably gonna contain the parasites; if it's to be feeding on something nasty, but the meat of them is gonna have lots of good protein. And actually, I've heard of an Australian guy who ate a slug at a party for a dare, and he ate it raw, and he actually got meningitis from a parasite inside it, and was in a comma for ages and ages. So, you just don't wanna risk it. For those left, we'll boil that now, and isn't that very appetizing? Slug stew. This gonna give me a bit of energy. Very gooey, very slimy, but a good bit of energy and good bit of protein"
