Ezzie claimed that he could stay alive in the jungle forever. According to him, every jungle emergency had a simple solution. Whether it was Emergency One - a hunter stumbling into quicksand - or Emergency Two - an attack by an unfriendly lion, Ezzie could handle it. In fact, Ezzie knew the answer to seventeen emergencies.
