What is your most memorable fruit harvesting experience? (slrpnk.net)

Have you ever had an especially rewarding, adventurous, dangerous, or really stupid experience of harvesting/foraging fruit?

I tend to live a sheltered life, so I don't have anything too exciting to share. I've harvested bananas with a hornets' nest on the underside of a leaf multiple times, but nothing unusual ever happened. I've gone wading through the swamp looking for aguaje, but the anacondas had already been hunted to extinction in that area. I've stood under a fruiting durian tree without a helmet, but it seems that durians don't just fall from the sky when I'm hungry.

Does anyone have an exciting or uplifting story to share?

When I was a kid, I would pick and eat wild blackberries, one time I was standing in place, eating away, and felt something around my socks.

I look down and see that I'm standing on an ant hill, and I'm covered by countless ants, up to my waist. I ran off, tossing my clothes as I ran.

That's some good old-fashioned fun! I once saw a LOADED engkala tree with a bullet ant nest at the base of it, and I just walked away.
