The people were mostly friendly however & Phil received tremendous hospitality from a proud & brave people especially from the riverside fishermen who helped him wherever they could. On one stretch of river known as The Abattoir due to its past history of cannibalism & current reputation for criminal activity he hired four brothers with a shotgun to accompany him as bodyguards. They paddled & floated for five days & nights on the river. Common questions from locals were why havent you cut his throat yet?" & "if you dont want to do it tell us where youre camping & well come & do it for you.. . Well share his money."
