Wild Beauty - "Attacked by Parasitic Leeches - Cross the Swamp and Return to the Pets Bushcraft Survival P.5"

release date: 7/4/2022
genre: wilderness Youtube channel
viewing setting: streaming 9/24/24

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

impressions: Day 5 of this trip begins with second sister walking through the forest (it's thinned out a lot here) and avoiding snakes hanging around in trees. Then she eats some berries, right from the branches, like a human-shaped koala bear. Next up is a route through a waist-deep watery area that looks like a bunch of lilypads...and thanks to the title of this video, we can pretty much guess what happens next. It's leeches! This requires a cleaning-off period (some parts of which I am guessing were not filmed due to the need to strip off clothes.) Soon after that, she captures a huge turtle (that was random) and the next thing you know, she's home. The dog and monkey (Vau and Nu, in case you forgot since we haven't seen them for a while) both run out to greet her. And then it's raining, hard. And then the rain has stopped and it's apparently time to cook the turtle, a process which involves stuffing it with vegetables and spices. The dog just lays there the whole time until second sister decides to put some turtle meat in its mouth; the monkey is nowhere to be seen. And that concludes this 20-minute final part of this story arc.

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.
