This forest is dry
during the dry season
and we're about to drive a boat
who know how far into it
we're not going to national a park
with like hiking drills
we're like going into
the middle of the Amazon
really good.
These people are just like
living normal live
and we're here getting sick
they're not like making fear
because tourists showed up.
Jungle milk.
♫ Music ♫
So we just had our first
drone crash
I was trying to fly it
up through the trees
to give you some perspective
of how far out
in the middle of nowhere
that we are
it lost GPS positioning
which when it does that
it just like
starts moving really funny
I was trying to bring it
back down as quickly as I could
and it just started
drifting into a tree
and there was nothing I could do
to stop it
it seriously probably hit a tree
over a hundred feet
in the air
and then just fell down
and hit like 50 more trees
on the way down
to the forest floor.
I think it survived
we're not going to try
to turn it back on right now
because all of the wings
are broken
but this is exactly
what it looks like
when we picked it up
off the ground
dirty broken blades
but thankfully
everything else seems to be
intact
so I guess we'll see
have to clean it up
and put new blades on it
which thankfully we have.
Kara it's not too happy with me
she told me not to fly it
I thought it would be fine
as long as the drone
doesn't break forever
I'm okay with that happening
I think it needed to happen
because Nate was being
way too brave with that thing
now we are hiking back
to our first camp
to have some fun
♫ Music ♫
Okay
It's hot.
you should put it on the floor
thank you.
Oh it's so hot
They've been rolling this
around on the grill
like it's nothing
and I can barely touch it
it's so hot
I'm just going to put it
to keep away from the
from the dirt
it comes from the jungle but...
Oh my gosh!
Wow those are huge!
They're massive!
They can bite you really well
because they could dig
into the palm
palm tree
and we also going to grill it
we're going to make
a cheese kebab.
So for dinner last night
we left our camera in our cabin
but we had pizza
which sounds really normal
and it was really delicious
but we had grub pizza
the same grubs
those big squishy things
but they were like really tiny
so like, oh no big deal
I had no idea
they were that big
when they were alive
they weren't bad
what are you taking out of it?
is the gut
and the gut should be this
the dirt from the palms
Mmm delicious.
Yeah.
♫ Music ♫
The grubs are fresh off the fire
Josias told us
they go really well
with the plantains
So...
do you eat the head?
The head is really crunchy
Oh gosh!
the head is just crunchy
didn't have much taste
the body is really fatty
and tastes like
like the fatty part of like pork
but easier to chew up
than fatty meat.
Now I can say
I've eaten a palm grub
straight out of the Amazon jungle
do I have to eat the head?
Yeah.
We always eat the head.
They always eat the head.
Oh.
You know
if you don't think about
what you're eating
it's actually pretty good.
I'm trying to think
of what it tastes like
Seriously
I'm just pushing out my mind
when I'm eating right now
Ok now I'm going to put it
out of my mouth.
Doesn't taste bad at all
it's just like purely a texture
and mental thing
palm grubs are good
I'm not getting
the rest of them.
Alright two of these are for you
Ok, thank you.
♫ Music ♫
We just finished
like a five-hour hike
through the Amazon jungle
walking through the jungle
is not easy
like literally every single step
you have to watch
where you're stepping
because your boot
could either like
sink way down in mud
or you'd be stepping on a stick
that you're gonna slip off
it could be a giant bug
maybe a poisonous frog
it was like
such an amazing morning
but such an exhausting morning
at the same time.
There's not a dry inch
on my body
from the combination
of humidity and sweat
I have managed
to sweat through my pants.
That's never happened before
and now we are about
to get on a boat
to explore the flooded jungle
♫ Music ♫
There's seriously no path
where we are right now
here literally floating
through a jungle
on the boat
Josias is taking care of us
up there chopping things
so we don't get hit in the face
It's so cool
It's so calm.
♫ Music ♫
After our hike we hung out
while they cook
some delicious dinner
we're having beef and rice
it's so good
I can't believe we're still
just in the middle of the jungle
having dinner
with these local people
it's been awesome.
we're riding
through the flooded the jungle
It is pitch black
and there are
so many animal noises
This is the craziest thing ever
we're looking
for the caiman alligator
is that what is it called
we saw
the baby eyeball of one
way back in the woods
I don't know if I want to see
a full-size one.
This is so nice
up there
oh wow
how in the world
that sort of animal
it like a raccoon family
Awesome.
pass the grass
It's in the grass
I'm pointing the rest of it
and the tail is right here
Cool.
It's a baby one.
how did you see that?
I can even touch or grab it
by the neck
Really?
so I wouldn't hurt him
and they won't hurt me
Wow.
Oh my gosh.
that small won't hurt me
and I won't hurt him
because he wouldn't
do much much movement
and just hold by the neck
not too tight not too loose
that way I don't hurt him
the power is in the tail
Oh my gosh.
That is so crazy
It looks like I'm choking him
but I'm not
Oh my gosh.
Grab him like that
the other hand as well
by the bottom
your hand from the bottom
if it moves
don't let it move.
This is nuts.
How's it feeling Nate?
He's so cool
He seems to be pretty chill.
His little teeth look like
sharp little daggers though
Its skin is so hard
so tough.
put it in the water
with your whole hand
What if another alligator
comes to bite my hand?
No.
loose this that one not.
loose this one that one not.
still hold it
and just barely like
ready
one, two...
oh it was fast.
ready to get out of it
that was awesome
thought I was gonna lose a finger
♫ Music ♫
They're getting away.
Just curious to see
how numb our guide is
living in the amazon
their whole life.
We're heading back
to the boat to drive back
this is a bug in my shirt
we are riding through
What is this?
Oh my gosh
One of the coolest things
is touch the tip of his toes
how sticky they're
Um okay
just touch the tip
and kind of pull
okay
Oh oh.
Yeah I felt it.
