Primal Survivor is a TV series that follows the adventures of survival expert Hazen Audel as he ventures into some of the most inhospitable and harsh environments on the planet. Hazen's mission is to learn and adapt to the ancient survival techniques used by the indigenous people of each area, putting his skills to the test in the most extreme conditions.

The first episode of the series is titled "Cannibal Legend," and it takes place in the remote islands and dense jungles of Papua New Guinea. Hazen meets with the Kombai people, a tribe known for their "living bridges" and their ability to hunt and survive in the jungle for generations. The Kombai live in one of the most isolated regions in the world, where they have developed their own unique survival skills.

As Hazen treks through the dense jungle with the tribe, he learns about their culture and survival techniques. Hazen is given a traditional Kombai bow and arrow and is sent on a hunt for food, an essential survival skill that he must master if he is to survive in the jungle. He also learns how to make fire using traditional means, including friction and a bamboo saw, and how to build a shelter from the natural materials found in the jungle.

Throughout the episode, the Kombai people share with Hazen some of their most startling legends, one of which involves a tribe that was rumored to practice cannibalism. The legend tells the tale of a Kombai man who strayed from his tribe and was taken captive by a neighboring tribe. The neighboring tribe was said to be cannibals and would regularly eat their captives. The Kombai man was said to have been held captive for months and was eventually rescued by his own tribe.

As Hazen explores the dense jungle, he comes across evidence that suggests that there may be some truth to the cannibal legend. He discovers old bones and skeletons that are scattered around the jungle, leading him to wonder if the neighboring tribe really did practice cannibalism. The Kombai people warn Hazen to be vigilant and to keep his wits about him as he continues his journey through the jungle.

As he journeys further into the jungle, Hazen discovers that he must face his own fears and overcome his own weaknesses if he wants to survive. He is tested both physically and mentally, and must rely on his own resourcefulness and the skills he has learned from the Kombai people if he is to make it out of the jungle alive.

Throughout the episode, Hazen's experiences in the jungle are interspersed with snippets of the Kombai people's daily life and traditions. They share some of their cultural traditions, including their beliefs in the spirits that inhabit the jungle and their elaborate ceremonies and rituals.

The first episode of Primal Survivor delivers an exciting adventure through some of the most remote and inhospitable regions on the planet. With its stunning visuals, intense survival challenges, and fascinating insights into the culture and traditions of the Kombai people, it is a compelling series that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
