[Music]
I really hate finding a new mosquito
bite here in Africa let the adventure
begin
[Music]
we're on our way to the town of kriby
where we were going to meet the father
of a Cameroonian girl that we befriended
here he's a hunter he he doesn't live in
the town he lives in the rain forest
around 40 kilometers from the town he
hunts at night in the rain forest and
we're gonna hunt with him either today
or tomorrow and we're gonna hunt wait
for this a porcupine in Cameroon
porcupine is considered as a very
delicious thing to eat so I'll leave you
several seconds to absorb it yeah where
you gonna hunt a porcupine it's a
four-hour drive from Cameron's biggest
city Douala
to kriby we arrived safely but only
stayed five minutes
[Music]
we arrived at the crib meet our modern
driver taxis here everyone's shouting at
me that I should stop filming so let's
go 40 kilometers into the rainforest
[Music]
from creepy we headed deep into
rainforests to village Kolkata populated
by less than 500 inhabitants after a
cozy to our modern drives I still don't
know how we arrived so we arrived at the
humble accommodation of mr. Obama a go
we're not gonna catch the porcupine
tonight because they don't have the
bullets for the guns so we're gonna
catch it tomorrow from 10:00 p.m. till 6
a.m. there are also poisonous snakes in
these rainforests I really need to sleep
let's hope is not gonna be my last night
ever good morning it's 10:00 a.m. and
we're going to the rain forest for the
first time not to see the porcupine
that's gonna happen at night but just to
see the rainforest to get more familiar
with it because we're not quite used to
rain forests as I told you yesterday
there are poisonous snakes and they also
told us there would be things falling on
our heads that's why I'm wearing this
cap I'm not sure which one of these two
informations is more alarming but it's
gonna be quite an adventure let's go
as you can see we are accompanied by two
hunters the first one is carrying a
machete and a gun and he told us that if
we see an animal and we wanted he's
gonna shoot it which I think we're not
gonna use this option I think no let's
be nice to all the animals if they want
it yeah Teresa really wanted monkey for
lunch but well if they wanted for lunch
we cannot argue with them cos it's food
for them it's a source of protein they
are dependent on this they rely on this
but if it's up to us we're not gonna
shoot anything they told us that was a
trap but couldn't see it maybe our eyes
are not adapted to the rain forest yet
false alarm
yeah they saw some monkeys
think he's gonna hunt the monkeys I
forgot to tell you in Cameroon Congo
Gabon here in the rainforests they eat
basically everything everything that
lives here is hunted for meat it's
called bush meat and they eat it so we
just need to adapt so the hunter didn't
find the monkey fortunately or
unfortunately I don't know which word to
use we're at the manioc plantation
there's plenty of them here it's quite
surprising that they're in the middle of
a rainforest they're also having these
huge circular things called beasts -
they open them and they use the seeds
inside to make a sauce called sauce
piece - which I have the opportunity to
try and I hated it yeah
our little tour de rainforest is over
now it took about an hour and a half a
little biological fact nothing's really
going on in the rainforest during
daytime all the animals are either
sleeping or hiding that's why we're
getting back here at night to hunt the
porcupine yeah this is like our sixth
time in the rainforest already and and I
can tell you nothing's really going on
during daytime here after returning to
odd-job the enthusiasm for the porcupine
hunt was replaced with fear no porcupine
hunt ain't today I was feeling a bit off
in the morning and finally checked my
temperature 37 49 degrees Delphia which
may be malaria knows we're in a very
small remote village with a very very
small Hospital
we opted for the option of going to a
bigger city I'm gonna take two and a
half hours
don't malaria
[Music]
it started raining after like 10
kilomettre Souls 30 more kilometers to
go we're waiting for the rain to stop
we're inside the bar and I still feel
pretty good but I need to get to a
hospital equipment be sure that I have
or I don't have malaria I think the rain
stopped cutting we're currently run out
the hospital a lot of people are crying
here which which creates a really really
bad atmosphere and I have to tell you
that I don't have malaria they did the
tests and I'm malaria free thank God I
went immediately to the to the urgent
care they did the tests it's probably
something with the stomach we're going
to a hotel
so one last shake before sleep it's 1:00
a.m. thank God I don't have malaria
let's see what's gonna happen with this
episode tomorrow good night I am not
giving up
we didn't catch the porcupine yesterday
but we are going to attempt to find it
in a cooked form and eat it my stomach's
not doing really good but this is
probably the only time in my life where
I have the opportunity to try to Edith
and porcupine the search for porcupine
meat was never-ending some people didn't
know what I was talking about and some
sent me into a completely different
direction but after two hours we finally
spotted a lady behind several large pots
one of them was hiding this bizarre
Cameroonian delicacy
would be
we have eaten up a cookie made entirely
out of the Flies snails huge snails that
tasted horrible
in Vanina I tasted surstromming I tasted
the hottest chili pepper in the world
tentacles are something yes some insects
and caterpillars and
this is another thing that's gonna end
up in our stomachs since we are in the
French part of Cameroon I should say Bon
Appetit
it's a
it's kind of bitter
it's like a beer combined with a rat
I've never eaten a rat but I suppose a
rat would taste almost like this there's
a touch of venison here yeah but like a
rats in medicine I don't like it you can
have it all yeah that's the thing if I
didn't know if I didn't know it was a
porcupine I would probably eat it but
knowing that this is a fucking porcupine
I just cannot eat it I'd rather have a
banana
which is pretty good
and a beer of course all right I guess
that's it for today's episode
hi I hope you enjoyed it more than we
enjoyed this meet on the smell so
without further ado I hope you like this
episode
and see you next time bye-bye
you
