Bear starts a testing journey trough tropical Ecuador paragliding down in the Andes, then works his way down into the Amazon jungle, trying to follow the course of water gradually swelling into a mighty stream, passing a cave requires getting over his aversion from bats. Wildlife is abundant, yet food not so easy to get, even if you know some local tribal techniques. He eats both a crucifix spider and giant larvae for the protein, making him all the more happy when a self-made bow and arrow allow him to fish-hunt in pools, for piranhas who aren't numerous enough to be dangerous, yet tasty. A bamboo bridge he constructs crashes to useless rubble, for lack of a canoe he braves the rapids on a tree trunk.
