[He seems to lean in and peer at the camera for a moment, and that's because he's not actually interacting with the feed anymore; he's examining the buttons on his own Gear, reminding himself how to call up the function he wants. It's only after a minute that his attention resumes on Reid.]
Okay. First up, you're right, the ball is for catching them. Of the two others, the spritz bottle apparently has general, all-purpose healing properties — you spray the thing and it suddenly decides it's feeling better. I can't yet tell if it's some kind of amazing creature based-panacea or just the most absurd application of a placebo effect I've ever seen. The other, the aerosol can, is a lot more useful. You spray it on yourself and it repels any wild ones that might try to get near you.
[Meanwhile, Thing the Paras takes that moment to try once again to make a Daring Escape™, and the camera abruptly switches hands as Albert reaches over to grab him as he continues talking.]
The other useful tip is there's a map built into your tricorder. Follow this sequence of options and it'll call up a map of where you're currently at and where you're going. And I could sit here and wait while you do all that kinesthetic learning, but I have work to do and it's faster to just tell you that west is a dingy little footpath marked "Route 29". Take it, follow it, three days' travel later you end up in the nearest city to your current location.
