AnushkaQuestioning Himself
Yosseph had the blood of survivors rushing through his veins. This empowered him in surviving the jungle. Initially, he was very optimistic that he will be able to find Kevin very soon but after traveling upriver for some four days without any signs of any of his team members his hopes again were on the brink of breaking. The haunting loneliness in the deep forests made him question his initial dream and thirst for adventure as by now he was sure that it will cost him his life.
The Wild Encounter
Yosseph walked miles in the direction he thought would lead him to civilization in damp torn clothes and an empty stomach. The more he walked the deeper he reached the jungle. During this time, he faced his very first encounter with the jungle animal. The animals who were the true inhibitors of this forest. A wild boar ran behind him for kilometers and even attacked him. Luckily, he could save himself this time but soon only it was about to turn dark and survival was only going to get tough.
Rustle In The Jungle
Jungle undoubtedly turned even more dangerous at might. All the wild animals would come out and would be searching for the food. Though Yosseph made sure that he walks with the mildest noise and hide himself the best, but only one night he heard some sounds in the nearby foliage. Yosseph was terrified to see two glooming eyes of a jaguar looking at him. The night was the most haunting one.
Run With Fire
At this time, his navy training came in handy. Ghinsberg lit up the fire with a lighter to scare the wild jaguar. He knew forest fires is what haunts the wild beings. Fortunately, the jaguar went away leaving Yosseph trembling with fear yet safe and unharmed. He had to face many, such encounters like this in the days that followed.
Hunting And Gathering
Yosseph was starving with hunger. The situation was so bad that he would eat anything that came his way. He would hunt for raw berries, wild fruits and rare bird eggs in the jungle. Not only this, he even ate monkey’s meat to survive. His life depended on his daily scavengings for food. Surviving the jungle became a tough task and the chance of heading back home was far from hopes.
Raising Fear
The jungle was turning ruthless day by day. And the only thing which was left to be faced was the heavy rains. Amazon rainforests are subject to heavy rainfall and they face between 80 and 430 inches of precipitation a year on average. Everything deadly possible on this planet had made its way to Ghinsberg.
