oh great, and he ends up drinking aya. I can totally see how this dude is suffering, trecking around the amazon on some crazy drug trip, looking for sapo, tollerating midgey bites, looking and sounding dessicated like he is... Shittest job on earth.

Guys: i'd like to share a little thought, thanks for reading:

Isn't this guy, this chemical guy looking to get high- really showing people -by experience- loads about the western world, aswell as the
really essential things like - YOU CANT WASH SAPO VENOM OUT. You need antivenom. In that way he gives me hope that he's helping these people.

Interesting documentary.

The part I didnt like is when they string the frog up.

But this dude seems to be going out into the jungle just to get high. Like right at the end, when he's walking around, just after taking aya and ritalin. He looks like a goof ball, and he sems to be doing it for the wrong reasons.

A nice watch though, il be looking for the next installment.

Thanks shoe.

Ya, he gets sleepy from the aya so pops a ritalin to overcome the sleepyness.

I found the guy a little dull to be honest. He moaned a hell of a lot, and the only time he looked remotely happy was when he was high on the aya. I know this wasn't your typical explorer/tourist programme, but he didn't seem to have much to say on anything onther than how uncomfortable he was with the environment. Why go to some remote jungle if you can't hack insects, and are a bit of a wet blanket? He just came across as another backpacker / drug tourist who videod his attempts to get high wherever he could.

This kind of drug tourism can be destructive to communities like the ones he visited, hence why he supposedly had the authorities on his ass at one point. There are loads of semi legit places in Peru / Brazil that offer aya ceremonies etc to westerners, I wonder why he chose the route he did?

Taking Ayhuasca in a cheap hotel room just looks nasty to me as well, and it looked like he only took it to get messed up for the camera.

Having said all that, I found it quite entertaining for some reason, and I'll probably watch the next installment! Smile
Oh great - the world has just been replaced by elf machinery.

As you said, it was quite entertaining, I enjoyed his dull moaningness - as you would if you were drinking aya on some crazy mosquito laden trek, total gash.
