And then my job was basically to distract him long enough for the rest of the team to make a plan to find a way to get evacuated from this remote place.
So the reason we were out and away from the camp was we were trying to collect fresh water.
So we need to go up the river.
So yeah, we basically both went up this river
Just the two of you.
We were with another guy as well.
And yeah, we were distracting him and sort of, yeah, trying to keep him occupied.
And what was most scary about this was he would flip-flop between being...
this crazy, really scary person and then being absolutely lovely with not really any recollection of what had happened.
It was sort of Jekyll and Hyde.
And I remember we'd filled up the water jugs, you know, I'd managed to stall him for about an hour and I was on the stand up paddle board that we were using to transport the water jugs.
And he was walking on the river bank next to me and I was paddling along just like, yeah, trying to keep him calm.
And I remember he suddenly got really on edge and was rummaging around in his pockets.
And I was like, oh God, what's he got in his pocket?
Is it a gun, a knife?
What is it?
He looked really on edge.
All of a sudden he pulls out his phone and he's like, oh, I just set up a TikTok account.
I'm going to take a video of you on the standup paddleboard for my TikTok.
Is that okay?
