Can I save my friends if they need it?

You're next to people that have shotguns and they're loading them up.

And so that day passed peacefully.

And that's what I spend the last chapter of the book describing because it's almost how could you explain to anyone

You know, the wrinkle in time of seeing people from another age and communicating with them while we have, you know, DSLR cameras that we're taking pictures of and we're trying to tell them, you don't have to be violent.

We don't have to all kill each other.

And they're still back in the middle ages going, yes, we do.

We're going to kill your tribe before you kill our tribe because we're scared.

And so, you know, we got through that day.

Well, we had a local anthropologist with us who waded out into the river.

and kept saying nomole, brothers, you know, put down, he speaks, there's a little bit of overlap with the language they speak and the local Yine people, and it's not perfect, you know, but they can get it, you know, it's like when I speak Spanish to Italian people, it's like, we can kind of get by.

And they did, they put down their bows and arrows, they came to the edge and they started saying a lot of stuff, but in that was, we really would like some food.

You know, it's not easy walking through the forest and for 20 people or really 40, because we only saw men.

So, you know, 20, 30 men and the women are still out there.

They wouldn't show us their women.

You know, I don't know what their rules are, but the women weren't out.

And, you know, finding food in the forest is not, it's super easy if it's just me and you.

We can get fish, you know, we could survive every day if we had to.

For 20, 25 people who are nomadic, not easy.

And so they're hungry.
