Provisions

When Francisco Orellana and Gonzalo Pizarro set out for El Dorado and the land of Cinnamon, they left Quito with 220 soldiers, 200 horses, 2,000 pigs, 2,000 war hounds and 4,000 native porters. When my younger brother and I set out for the Amazon River, we had considerable fewer provisions. Granted, times have changed. We do have sheathed machetes, though.

Don't leave home without it, that would be a Tiger hat and machete.

Is that a knife/machete sharpener? Also, why only one Tigers hat? Did Avery bring his Robin Hood or straw canoe tripping hat?
