Wild Beauty - "Alone in the rain forest - Find an ancient grave where the French soldiers in the Vietnam War"
release date: 10/17/2021
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: In this 23-minute seventh episode, the wilderness woman finds an old mine/cave...cuts poles and makes a canopy to cover the entrance...fails to start a fire with her lighter so whips out magnesium and flint/steel to start her bonfire...cuts down some small trees...waits out the rain before building a bench and stove platform...wraps the dog up in her jacket...unpacks the raw chicken legs she brought, along with vegetables, chili peppers, and sauce...fries the food...and goes to sleep. As for the dog, he's fairly inert this time around, dozing during pretty much all the work except for when he's being held or wrapped up because he's shivering. He even sleeps, inside the woman's jacket, while she's cooking all the food. Even when the food is ready, he doesn't get up, instead just sitting there waiting to be fed. He does, however, eat the chicken when it's offered. For those of you keeping score here, his record on eating her cooking is 3 acceptances, 2 denials, and 1 episode during which no food was cooked.

acting: There's no acting; this is a woman doing cool stuff in the wilderness.
final word: Interesting bushcraft/survival web content.
