Wild Beauty - "Surprise After the Rain in the Forest.../ Making a Table and Chairs from Wild Grapes, Part 5"

release date: 8/3/2024
genre: wilderness Youtube channel
viewing setting: streaming 2/10/25

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

impressions: This 36-minute episode is part 5 of the current story arc and begins with action shots of a random snail moving up a tree and the monkey hanging out in his new basket-home. Today's major project is the creation of a table from a big log and a bunch of vines; upon its completion, she heads back into the forest while the monkey jumps up onto the new table and surveys the area. A chair soon follows the table...and then it starts raining really hard. Thankfully, it's dry inside the hobbit-house where she's squatting, so everyone is able to wait out the rain. Once it's sunny again, the dog sleeps while the monkey lies there scratching its balls; Wild Beauty goes out and catches a turtle in some shallow water. Sorry to say, but that's the end for the turtle; she's soon cutting it open and filling its meaty interior with herbs and spices, and you know what that means...it's going to end up over the fire. And it does, which eventually results in dinner after 30 minutes of cooking. The monkey doesn't seem to like turtle meat at first, but he soon comes around; the dog, however, ignores his portion and just goes to sleep.

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.
