release date: 11/14/2021
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: This 18-minute episode continues the saga of her visit with her sister. Some highlights: She still has the cast/splint/bandage on, and is still staying with her sister...the sister's house has some sort of running water system made with bamboo pipes...it's a small bamboo hut built over a small lake, with walkways made from cut tree parts and a bridge over a stream...and there's a motorcycle, so at least it's possible she ventures out sometimes...her dog, still wearing his red jacket, trots toward the other dog, waking him from his slumber...she's fishing passively but still hasn't caught anything...so she gets up, puts on the coolie hat, and off she goes into the jungle...she cuts down and strips some really wicked-looking thorny vines (without needing gloves!) and drags them away...and turns them into material to weave a basket...which she admires as I wonder if her dog will somehow end up in it...then she collects bamboo shoots, during which both dogs are super active around her...the shoots and the previously-prepared goat meat are going to be part of dinner...into the cooking pot it all goes...and she packs some thicker bamboo containers with rice...the dogs are hanging out together in the distance, not participating at all...and it's dinnertime for the sisters, meaning that the dogs suddenly show up to get fed...and they definitely approve of the goat meat. And that's it for this episode! The primary dog's dinnertime score now is 6-2-2 (ate the food vs refused to touch it vs no food cooked in episode.)

acting: There's no acting; this is a woman doing cool stuff in the wilderness.

final word: Interesting bushcraft/survival web content.
