All my excitement has fled away and I got very cold.
So I was like shaking, you know, shivering and no help at all.
So I'm like, wow, this is gonna get really bad.
I was very hungry and I was very thirsty.
I tried to open them up, but they tasted so nasty.
I didn't even think about eating them.
There was no source of food other than the ducks.
You'll want to hear about the ducks.
I wasn't going to get rescued in the next hour or two.
I had a plan to kill a bunch of ducks to get some warm blood to warm myself.
So to drink some blood and to cut them open and use them to warm myself.
I had this strange idea about using them as slippers.
After that, I even had this psychedelic idea of floating on the ducks, making a raft out of the ducks.
Imagine a man with strings attached to the ducks floating on the water.
So it's like this duck rider, you know?
Totally normal for a Russian hiker to go and pick up a duck.
Not just to kill it, but to eat it.
Oh, um... You just go after it with a stick.
