The episode 10 of Primal Survivor season 1 is titled Tropics. The show follows wilderness expert Hazen Audel as he journeys to some of the most inhospitable places on earth, living solely off the land sourced through his hunter-gatherer expertise.
In this episode, Hazen travels to the tropical wilderness of Panama to live with the Embera people, who have lived off the land for thousands of years and have their own unique way of life. Hazen arrives at the thick jungle after a grueling journey where he has to walk through the scorching sun to reach the Embera village.
Upon his arrival, Hazen is welcomed by the Embera and is introduced to their unique way of life and customs. He learns that these people depend on the jungle for survival, and every plant and animal has a specific use and meaning to the Embera.
During his time with the Embera, Hazen learns how to create a blowgun, a traditional hunting tool used by the Embera for hunting small animals in the dense jungle. He also learns how to build a shelter using only natural resources and sets a snare trap for catching small prey.
Throughout the episode, Hazen also joins the Embera in their daily routines, including fishing and gathering honey from wild beehives deep in the jungle. He also watches as the Embera cook their meals, discovering how they prepare foraged fruits and vegetables and cook them over open fires.
As the episode progresses, Hazen realizes the critical role the jungle plays in the Embera's daily life and survival. They rely on the plants and animals that inhabit the jungle for their food, medicine, and materials for building shelters and tools.
However, Hazen also sees the environmental threats to the jungle, including illegal deforestation and hunting, which is threatening the Embera's way of life. Through his experience with the Embera, Hazen gains a new appreciation for the interconnectedness of all living things and the critical role we play in protecting the planet's ecosystems.
In the end, Hazen is grateful for the opportunity to learn from the Embera and their unique way of life, reminding us of the importance of preserving the planet's wilderness and traditional ways of life.
