He had a full thirty years of wilderness survival experience, but he'd spent most of that time in the forests of America and Canada. As a result, he mainly specialized in handling cold weather.
Surviving in a tropical rainforest like this was truly a first for him.
He carried a bamboo basket on his back, inside which were two large pineapples, streaked with orange-yellow and brown, as well as a few papayas, mottled with green and red.
At the bottom of the basket was a pile of small red berries, an unexpected haul from his journey.
As for the two grouse, he had already cleaned them and wrapped them in banana leaves, ready to be tonight's main course.
If possible, he planned to catch some crabs and oysters as well for a nutritious feast.
