release date: 1/8/2022
genre: wilderness Youtube channel
viewing setting: streaming 10/26/23

synopsis: This Youtube channel shares videos of a woman roaming the jungle and building, killing, cooking, and eating things.

impressions: This episode is 33 minutes and appears to be the beginning of a short sequence of videos from the same expedition. It starts off quietly enough, with the woman wandering through the jungle and the monkey left behind and picking blueberries. Then she finds a huge rock overhang and decides to set up camp beneath it. She does a bunch of manual labor, chopping down small trees, while the monkey frolics in the trees and the dog wanders about aimlessly. And then when it's time to saw the branches, the dog stays quite close to the moving saw blade! Anyway, in short order, the woman builds a nice reclined chair with a canopy, and takes a break to sit there and chill and cuddle with the animals. But because she's a workhorse, the break doesn't last long, as she then builds a table and a fire pit. Meanwhile - and I have captured this for posterity - the monkey fondles the dog's testicles. Wha a day, huh? Elsewhere, the woman forages for mushrooms, which she proceeds to cook along with the chicken legs she already had in her bag. When the food's ready, the monkey realizes what's going on and scrambles down from the tree he climbed, presumably after he was done playing with the dog before...but then refuses to try the chicken! (The dog has no such problem.)

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

final word: Interesting bushcraft/survival web content.
