And they shot my friend George with an arrow that went in through his scapula and came out by his belly button.

So it went through and collapsed his right lung.

And we had to evac him on a helicopter.

And somehow he lived, even though he spent three months in the hospital recovering.

But it really drives it home like you're not.

Like you said, this is heart of darkness.

This is one of the last corners of the earth where it really is that wild.

where there's tribes out there that haven't seen the outside world and where the grasp of society and the rules that we all exist by don't matter.

And that's a fascinating, weird reality where there's absolutely nothing but natural law.

The Amazon is currently under siege.

I mean, you're talking about an ecosystem that's something like 50 million years old.

So endless cycle of speciation, these ancient trees, these monkeys and birds carrying seeds.

So this thing has been developing and speciating and getting more and more complex.

And now you have modern civilization where we have diamond tips, chainsaws, we have bulldozers.
