Eh, I am mistaken. For some reason I was thinking like "of well there is so much food around, what could go wrong" but wasn't focusing on the big picture.

I'm just trying to think about food since it's the thing we need most of. But I see how the environment in the Amazon as a whole would be crazy hard

A week to a few weeks.  Fresh water is the main limiting factor initially but you say that's there.  The body can go at least a week without food.  I don't have any experience hunting or fishing so I'm not sure how that would go.  I have experience camping but not foraging.

I've never made a fire without matches or a lighter, I'd give it 50/50 that I'd be able to figure out another way successfully.

Depending on how large the stream is, you can always make a "net" by using thicker branches to make a grid across the stream. You could also dig a sort of tributary (a small tributary that fish can swim into, but not out of). 

Our troop leader was very unconventional.

Could you explain this? I never understood this method

Basically, you redirect some of the water into a small offshoot. The water should then drop just a little bit, creating a difference in height. This will trap the fish and then they will just swim around in your small pond until you catch them.
