release date: 4/17/2022
genre: wilderness Youtube channel
viewing setting: streaming 11/29/23

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

impressions: This 23-minute episode is part 5 of the 7-part trip arc. Everyone's happy - dog, monkey, woman - as they roam the forest. A snake makes a brief guest appearance, and then she spots some sort of wild chicken, and aims to kill it with her homemade crossbow...but misses. But it's okay, because she then finds some hedgehog feathers, which are very hard and sharp and, as it turns out, make great tips for crossbow bolts. And it also turns out that tree sap makes good glue. So of course she builds a bunch of better bolts for her crossbow, and now it's getting real. She builds a quick hiding place and waits for a chicken to show up...and before you know it, dinner is secured. And the damn monkey is riding the damn dog as they all return to base. It seems the chicken will be cooked within leaves and mud, a process which takes an hour. She comments that the meat's tough yet delicious, and the dog must agree since he's showing down too.

acting: There's no acting; this is a woman (and her dog and monkey) doing stuff in the wilderness.

final word: Interesting bushcraft/survival web content.
