Our ten remaining teams are battling for survival.
In our last round, three of our teams perished in a cave when it collapsed. The rest awoke safe, but in some water that was full of animal carcasses. Since all team members on the remaining teams have snake bites, leach wounds, or cuts from thorns, bacteria from the contaminated water entered their open wounds. Now, their wound have begun to swell and hurt.
DAY 3 ROUND 1 RESULTS
Our teams also found a deer carcass. Not knowing when or how it was killed, they were unsure what to do with it. However, since they need to eat at least once every two days (gameplay) to survive, this carcass provided some potential food options. Four choices were given, and here is what the remaining teams chose to do.
Option 1 - Don't risk messing with this deer carcass and continue towards the clearing ahead.
These teams chose to press on without eating. Passing up potential food can be a deadly mistake, as only one option for food may present itself each day and teams need to eat at least once every two days. At least nothing bad happened to these teams. We will hope for the best.

Option 2 - One way or another, eat the meat and hope for the best.
As it turns out, someone had shot this deer the previous night but was unable to locate it. The bullet did not rupture any of the bowels, so no bile or another unpleasant liquids leaked out into the meat. The deer was cold, but that was only due to the body heat leaving it overnight. These teams got a good meal out of the deal and now have full bellies. The press on, but are unable to preserve any extra meat or prevent the rest from spoiling.

Option 3 - Use the carcass as bait on the land to try to lure some other animal near enough to kill and eat.
Not being sure if the dead deer meat was healthy enough for human consumption, one team chose to try to leave it on the land to see if it could be used as bait to attract a live animal. If another animal came and the team was able to kill it, then they would have fresh meat for sure.
Soon Vultures began to circle overhead and then a few crows landed nearby. After some hours of circle Vultures and Crows in the trees nearby, the team realized that nothing else was coming. As a last ditch effort to try to get some food out of this situation, the team members tried throwing rocks at the crows to kill one of them, but, unfortunately none of the rocks hit their target. Tired and hungry, this team presses on towards the clearing up ahead.
@lukmarcus & @kambrysia
- All members of Team SZUMNI have wounds that are sore and swollen.
- Team SZUMNI will need to eat before the end of Day 3 (gameplay).
Option 4 - Use the carcass as bait in the water to try to lure some other animal near enough to kill and eat.
Since no teams chose this option, I will not reveal what would have happened. Perhaps a similar situation will come up later or maybe even next season.
JACKPOT OR DEATH TRAP?
DAY 3 ROUND 2
As the teams continue to make their way towards the clearing up ahead, they see an RV in front of them. Amazingly, they see a small pile of canned goods under the camper. However, that is not all that they see.
A sign is propped up next to the cans. It is not spelled correctly, but the message is clear: “Yer not lost. Yer trespasing. Don’t steal my food or I’ll shoot you ded. – Tom”
No one knows for sure how long these canned goods have been sitting there, or when the sign was written, or who “Tom” is. Is he serious? Is he even alive?
On the bright side, canned goods are a type of non-perishable food. This means that any teams who acquire some can hold onto them for a reserve food supply. There appear to be six cans total, so if each team member only ate one can every other day, this supply would provide the necessary food for a team for six days, without them eating anything else. If they found other perishable foods along the way, they could hold on to these cans even longer.
On the other side, six cans can be a lot to try to grab quickly when someone might be shooting at you. Perhaps just grabbing two cans would be quicker. Would it be quick enough though? Perhaps it is best just to pass. Whatever the choice, it had better be made quickly.
OPTIONS
Option 1 - Don't risk messing with these cans and quickly move on.
Option 2 – Have one team member quickly try to grab two cans for your team.
Option 3 – Have one team member risk even more time to try to grab all six cans.
Option 4 – Have both team members quickly try to grab all six cans.

Option 2 for our team. And I will grab the cans. Thanks
Currently Team EMMANUEL will need to eat before the end of Day 4 (gameplay).
Option 2 with @nextgen622 heading in for the grab?
Confirmed with upvote. Got it.
Team Zookeeper is going with option 2.
I hum the Mission Impossible theme song while I sneak in for 2 cans.
@herpetologyguy is just trying to get me shot...
If we had a rope, I'd lower you down Mission Impossible style
LOL! You could crawl on top of the RV and dangle her by her feet.
Hmmm a tempting thought to be sure. But then again we don't want ol' Tom looking out the window to see an upside down @ellepdub
This team will need to eat before the end of Day 4 (gameplay).
Two more rounds will occur before you absolutely need to eat.
Option 2?
We're gonna risk it for the biscuit...or whatever is in those cans.
Now I hope it is biscuits...
Option 2 it is. @ellepdub is going in for the grab.
I can go run and grab two cans. I'm sure we need to eat by the end of the day as we only ate the snake on day one. Maybe Ted is friendly and he can help us survive, or maybe he chose the cave :p.
Sounds good to me. I vote for either Option 2 or 4. If we both go, we might be fast enough to get all 6.
On the other hand, greed usually isn't rewarded, although this is the zombie apocalypse!
Either way, it's up to you.
I vote with option 2, and I'll go for it. That way if it goes wrong maybe you can survive and tell the tale.
Sounds good! Hopefully I live through all my injuries and infections I'm sure I have by now!
Option 2 it is. @whatageek is going in for the grab.
This team will need to eat before the end of Day 3.
Does that include the correction of the plant we skipped? If it does, maybe we should skip it. You don't want to mess with someone who can't spell dead :p
I did not correct that part. I was wondering how I still had you down for day 4. If the snake was all you ate, then it is day 3.
You are helpful and honest. Thanks for that!
I'll change the previous comment. That comment has been changed.
@erikaflynn so the option 2 was the best actually. I told you. It does look like we are going to die, or at least one of us as we have to eat ^_^. So should we play it safe and take only two cans? Or should we take a risk and take them all?
What's done is undone. I tried to consider all the circumstances, in reality I would have made the same choice. So, if it was my mistake, I had to fix it. I'll go and get two cans. Option 2
2 cans is it then!
Option 2 it is. @erikaflynn goes in for the grab.
This team will need to eat before the end of Day 4 (gameplay).
Two more rounds will occur before you absolutely need to eat.
I'm thinking option 2 or 4 @lil4a
I would choose 2, do not risk immediately with two team members)), but I trust you to choose @nepd !
Option #2 it is @papa-pepper
Ok, Option 2 it is. Who's going in for the grab?
I'm slow. Let's send in quick @lil4a
You're going in for the grab @lil4a?
Yes, I'll go to capture prey for the team))
Option 2 it is. @lil4a goes in for the grab.
This team will need to eat before the end of day 4 (gameplay).
Two more rounds will occur before you absolutely need to eat.
The Foo (d) Fighters have decided to go with option #1. Don't want to risk getting some buckshot in the behind!
OK - FOO(D) FIGHTERS will need to eat before the end of Day 5 (gameplay).
Option 1 it is.
I'm thinking of option 1.... Or option 4?? @rahul.stan
What if crazy old Tom kills both of us?
@papa-pepper We've decided to go with option 1.
THE HURRICANE needs to eat before the end of Day 5 (gameplay).
Option 1 it is.
The kiwis have had some considerable discussion about the options presented.
Given that a deer has recently been shot quite close to here, it would seem that Tom quite probably is armed and knows how to hit a target. Given the American penchant for automatic weaponry, especially for small game hunting purposes, there is a strong probability that he is armed with enough firepower to conquer a small African nation.
Add to the equation that my dad is in his 70s, I have dodgy knees and neither of us is at our best after sleeping under a tree, I think the safest course of action is to find the nearest pub and have a beer while we talk it out some more.
So we chose option 1 - go and find a pub.
THE KIWIS need to eat before the end of Day 4 (gameplay).
Option 1 it is.
We are very hungry and we need to eat. It's risky but there is no other option - team Szumni is choosing 2. @lukmarcus goes for it.
TEAM SZUMNI will need to eat before the end of Day 3 (gameplay).
Option 2 it is. @lukmarcus goes in for the grab.
