Was the first time 86 00:03:46,271 --> 00:03:48,460 I'd ever not had food and still had to 87 00:03:48,500 --> 00:03:50,278 carry the same amount of weight 88 00:03:50,278 --> 00:03:52,500 everywhere I went . It was kind of that 89 00:03:52,500 --> 00:03:54,820 was kind of a shell shock . None of it 90 00:03:54,820 --> 00:03:58,560 has been easy , but all of it has been 91 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,338 manageable . Did I think it was 92 00:04:00,338 --> 00:04:02,449 manageable when I started . No that I 93 00:04:02,449 --> 00:04:04,560 learned real quick that I can push my 94 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,504 body further than what I thought I 95 00:04:06,504 --> 00:04:08,840 could . Yes . So the marines were 96 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,410 issued M . R . E . S . As supplemental 97 00:04:11,410 --> 00:04:12,966 food .

There's quite a bit 101 00:04:19,493 --> 00:04:22,860 just simply taking a um guava 102 00:04:23,340 --> 00:04:26,500 just like this seeds and all and the 103 00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:28,900 fleshy part of the meat and you can eat 104 00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:31,067 these and these are perfectly fine for 105 00:04:31,067 --> 00:04:33,122 the marines to subsist off of them . 106 00:04:33,122 --> 00:04:35,289 And they've been doing so for the last 107 00:04:35,289 --> 00:04:38,850 11 days .

Super simple . 117 00:05:03,180 --> 00:05:05,180 Super easy way to catch something . 118 00:05:05,370 --> 00:05:07,592 These guys are thriving out here .

Thinking this is 122 00:05:13,648 --> 00:05:13,120 what it's like and this is , this is 123 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,530 they're getting their chance to show 124 00:05:15,530 --> 00:05:18,640 that I can survive .
