release date: 11/26/2021
genre: wilderness Youtube channel
viewing setting: streaming 10/19/23
synopsis: This Youtube channel shares videos of a woman roaming the jungle and building, killing, cooking, and eating things.
impressions: This episode, at 21 minutes, is fairly short but has some great content: she wakes up at dawn and goes foraging for fruits high up in trees...and the dog just watches and whines...and then the other dog shows up and wants to play...fruits are washed, vegetables are picked, she tosses the salad...and then feeds her sister grapes...there must be something up with the fruit bowl because they both make faces while eating...she straps on the knife (but not the coolie hat) because naturally it's time to cut down some bamboo...while the dog curls up and sleeps...holy shit, she's making a bow!...and in the background, the dogs are fighting...as night falls, she tests her new weapon to make sure it works...and then collects her sister, some headlamps and jackets, and both dogs and off goes the night hunting party...the sister has a speargun and participates...the kill count consists of several frogs and fish...morning finds the sisters setting up for cooking, while the sister's dog eats grass...the main dog eats the frog legs.
