Wild Beauty - "Off Grid Living - Smoked goat meat and a peaceful day owr with my older sister"
release date: 11/11/2021
genre: wilderness Youtube channel
viewing setting: streaming 10/18/23
synopsis: This Youtube channel shares videos of a woman roaming the jungle and building, killing, cooking, and eating things.
impressions: In this 19-minute tenth episode (going by release date on Youtube) the woman, still with a bandaged arm, hangs out with her sister...which means they both build things, cook, and eat. The best part? The sister ALSO HAS A DOG! Yep, there are two dogs in this one! And the sister! What great times we live in. Of note this time: there's some subtitled talk between the two...the lack of electricity means they have to preserve the meat for the long term (their words)...the main/original dog is mostly inert and has to be played with, presumably to keep it awake and alert...the camera captures not just the main woman's cleavage but also the sister's (and that's the first and last time I'm going to acknowledge this filming choice, which is presumably done to help get subscribers)...the second dog also sits around being lazy while work is happening...they weave grass into the meat to help hang it...they are doing things with raw meat that I will never understand...they build things together, as the sister has the skills too...they construct a frame to hang their meat over the fire...and then do some gardening and landscaping work...meanwhile, both dogs are nowhere in sight...the older sister is doing the heavy work, like carrying poles, while wearing a coolie hat...they build a fence around the new garden, while barefoot...a delivery man shows up on a motorcycle with a big bag of live fish, which are used to stock the pond...when the meat's ready, they sit down for dinner (which is strange since they said they were preserving the meat, not cooking and eating it)...and of course, both dogs sit around just waiting to be fed. All in all, this was a very peaceful episode that made me think about what it would be like to live in a remote jungle without any of the things the modern world thinks is so important.

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