I'm flying towards an island off the southern shores of the Dominican Republic. This is a breeding ground of the tropical storms and hurricanes, the batter the coast of the United States. I don't ready extra seconds, I'm gonna be one of the world's ever. I'm definitely gonna be strong. Imagine you've gone to my town where you've lost your mind. I want to head straight into the nearest point of land. Straight in there we need to move. The Caribbean waters are patrolled by great white, hammerhead and tiger sharks. This is razor. A 50 foot limestone cliff is the first obstacle I've got to contend with. Look at this co-sister. Look at the pretty impenetrable stuff. This stuff is juggling. Raise a sharp. I can't stop. Hold this lip. Let's see what he's in land. Let's get away. Look at this. That's a giant centipede. These are a bruise, stand back in there. These are more vicious than they look. Giant centipedes are aggressive predators, delivering paralyzing venom through needle sharp pincers. Do not underestimate these guys. Do not want this going up your trouser leg. These are highly venomous. See if we can see his pincer at the front. Look at that. Do not want to mess with it. Highly venomous. Big front claws there. If that bites you, it's like somebody's singing a red herb poker into you. These guys even be known to go head-to-head with mammals. Let him down here. We're going to give him a very wide birth. Okay, he's going down. Okay, that's true. These things have so much toxin in them that they're not safe to eat. Giant centipede is off my menu. The changing terrain of vegetation is a good indicator. The streams and rivers could be nearby. It's finally some really water. That's so nice. Actually, that shrimp in here. It's pretty good. See that one? Straight under my finger. Straight down there. Let's see if we can get him out. So he can get some. Got him. These are just fine to eat. Absolutely raw. I have to just grab the tail of this. Give it a twist one weight. Twist the other way. It should then just be able to pull out. It's guts. That's the stuff I don't want to eat. Then the rest of this is fine to eat. Not my head, but his body is nice. Better cooked, but nice raw. But finding that is good news for me. Means a lot of this water is going to be clean. And good to drink. Shrinks are really good indicator of clean water. Very intolerant of any sort of contaminants. And often the first thing you lose in a dirty river. It's a chocolate storm through here. Very nice jungle living. Night falls quickly in the tropics. I want to make camp while there's still some light. Let me tuck you under this. Out of the rain here. See if I make a jungle hammock add some vines. It's getting darker by the minute. I need to quickly sling a hammock to keep me off the jungle floor. This one looks like a climateis vine. Get this one out. Just step back a bit. When you're pulling them down, watch out for snakes and dead fall. OK, that's going to do the job nicely. Let's get this better camp. That rain has really set it now. I'm quite a good idea to be able to do this over here. OK, Mingo, that's my religion. I'm going to get fire going. I'm going to fire with it. I've got a hammock. I've got fire. But I am absolutely drained through. This tropical storm does not look like it's going to pass in a hurry. The improvise shelter served its purpose. Well rested. I'm ready to face another day in the jungle. The man has said, dry out a bit now. Stop raining. I'm both pretty glad I was off the jungle floor last night. Look, he's been wanting around my wood pile this morning. But he seems quite happy there. But actually, let's even get him out to show you. Native to the Caribbean, the giant bird eating tarantula has two centimetre long fangs, which can pierce the skin and inject paralyzing venom, which liquefies body tissue. There we go. Let me see him there. Not aggressive of handle correctly, but when threatened tarantulas rise on their back legs, they show their fangs before striking. They can also shoot hair darts as a defense mechanism. And what can be nasty about these tarantulas is just these little hairs on their legs. They're not irritating hairs. And if they're threatened, they shed those hairs. And they irritate, get into the lungs, the prejudices throat. Generally, it will leave them alone then. I always remember irritating hairs because they hurt. As you go on, let's bring him down off the hill. And when they bite, there'd be pincers in his front, like that two fangs will strike, watch out. And bite you. Oh, gosh, you want something to eat them. I don't want him to get it away. I've killed a bird eating tarantula, now I'm cooking it for breakfast. It's a little quite Danish pastries and kwhassal, but out here, it's a pretty good breakfast. The flames remove the irritating hairs and cook the flesh. I don't know how those hairs were off the notes. Try a bit of this. And actually, you can see the meat inside it there. I actually just got quite a little meat on it. Not bad tasting. Rest by that. This camp has served me well, but it's time to face a jungle again. Somewhere ahead, there's a large plateau. That's a wildfowl. Sit going up that lock. Got it? It's no surprise to find wildfowl here. I've managed settlers brought European livestock here 500 years ago. Goats, boar and chickens have all made the island their home. You must always gain more energy from a kill than you lose hunting it. Fowler notoriously hard to catch. There's plenty of meat, so it's worth a go. They're crafting. Let them calm down a bit. It's tempting to try and run them down, but a Fowler too fast and too nimble. I'm going to get a Fowler. I'm going to get a Fowler. I'm going to get a Fowler. A slow stealthy approach is best. There you go. Just get on the top of this. Hello. And now it's down there. Got it? One wildfowl. What a fish it's on his breakfast net. And he really made me, made me work for that. But the bit I want is just his breast here, though. And he has a kid I used to go ahead and shoot pigeons low. So he used to come back with a bag full of them, like ten of them. And then just whip out their breasts like this. Leave the rest, leave all the carcass. And I have the breast fried up for breakfast. That's always delicious. Let's go and cook these up. This meat contains bacteria and parasites. It's vital you cook them thoroughly. If it's still pink in the middle, get it back on the fire. That's good lean meat. Good protein. And definitely worth the hunt.
