Wild Beauty - "Solo Bushcraft - Hammock on the stream, Fishing and overnight by the river"
release date: 10/4/2021
genre: wilderness Youtube channel
viewing setting: streaming 10/13/23
synopsis: This Youtube channel shares videos of a woman roaming the jungle and building, killing, cooking, and eating things.
impressions: This third episode (going by the release dates) is 21 minutes long and features the woman walking around barefoot through the stream, in her work site, at the river's edge, basically everywhere...climbing a steep slope (barefoot) to fasten the rope for her hammock...taking a break right there on the slope face to pick and eat a wild fruit...resting in the hammock with the dog...going back out (still barefoot) to collect sticks and move rocks for her cooking platform...fishing in the river (barefoot)...unpacking strips of meat and shoots for dinner, which is good since her fishing efforts didn't pay off...skipping stones on the river...drawing her Youtube name in the sand...and finally going to sleep in the hammock. So to reiterate in case it wasn't clear, this woman does all these things BAREFOOT in the wilderness full of rocks, sticks, and who knows what else. I could never do that. She's badass. As for her dog, he was unusually active this time. At the beginning of the adventure he darted down a steep path ahead of the woman, then ran around the stream, then started aggressively gnawing on a branch. Later, he stood in the stream to get clean and to drink. What he didn't do is try the food, and this time it wasn't even octopus! Despite not having dinner, he did become inactive shortly thereafter, and had to be carried and washed. Then, inexplicably, he got his second wind and went nuts digging a hole in the dirt for no apparent reason. That dog is crazy.
