Big River Man Page #6

by a damn log or

something.

You know, he cuts

right through.

I mean, that tree gonna stick

right through his stomach.

There had been

so much rain

that whole

pieces of forest

was floating down

stream with Martin.

They were as heavy

as straight trains

and if they hit him

he would be dead.

I'm pretty good

in the river

but I'm just a fisherman

from Wisconsin.

I'm doing this for free.

I'm doing this for adventure.

If Martin wants

to give a big money

he can get the experienced

Amazon river guy.

I'll do the best I can.

I learning the GPS,

I learning the maps.

When he ask

where we are

just tell him like I

know where we are.

The doctor said

Martin's blood pressure

was already

dangerously high.

RIFAT LATIFI:

PHYSICIAN:

I examined Martin Strel briefly

and measured

the blood pressure.

It was 150\95.

Anybody else with

elevated blood pressure

probably should be

evaluate and not start

swim in the Amazon.

He said that Martin

needed to stop swimming

if he wanted

to avoid the stroke

but Martin wouldn't stop.

PERUVIAN AMAZON:

On expeditions

Martin usually sleep

only 4 hours at night.

The currents had die down

but know he was getting

more and more sun burn.

He has second

degree burns

all over his face.

And he thought

that cure for this

was more beer.

But doctors told him

it only makes him

more dehydrating.

I try to convince him

to stop drinking

so much at night

but I couldn't.

DAY 6, SOMEWHERE

IN PERUVIAN AMAZON

Incredible.

What a freak.

Martin expect rain

more of the heavy rain

in the Amazon.

We haven't much rain

in the last of few weeks.

So, it is crazy

how the weather

is happening.

Will be worm or

something is happening

down here?

Completely unusual.

And he has some kind of

terrible sun burn.

In this part of the earth

the sun can give you

a cancer disease

on the skin

is from the pleasure

somebody doing this

crazy sh*t.

In 2005 the

Peruvian Amazon

experience the worst

drought in 40 years.

This was a crises for

an indigence people

on a massive scale.

People had to be

air lifted out

and food had to be air

lifted in by helicopters

just like in New

Orleans the same year.

The scientists has

blamed for draught

a higher ocean temperatures

caused by global warming.

Rising air in the Atlantic

pushing Amazon clouds away

which stops rainfall

and kills the forest.

The scientists say

the global worming

is the biggest single threat

to the rain forest

because lowest rainfall

can easily turn the rain

forest into a desert.

Even though it was a

middle of rainy season

and had rain at the end

but hadn't rain for

at weeks on a river.

Without a rain

sunburn would
