[Gilbert probably should not have ventured out alone. He's run into a number of people also trapped here, but just sitting still isn't doing him any good. They need to eat, for one thing

His old camping lessons come in handy even in the jungle. And hey. His dad always told him that, in case of getting lost, don't wander around. So he hadn't. He'd set up a rudimentary campsite, leaving markers in the trees around it so he could find his way back (his senses helped, too).
Currently? He's hunting for food. Fruit, hopefully. Trying to keep himself busy, trying to keep from worrying about Gilbert, whether he's here or back in the hou--
