synopsis: This Youtube channel shares videos of a woman roaming the wilderness and building, killing, cooking, and eating things.
impressions: This 45-minute episode is part 4 of the current double-Wild-Beauties story arc, and it opens with a nice shot of the now-roofed-and-walled house which is pretty amazing. They've built this thing around a live tree, and it's up off the ground with a ladder, and it has a deck with a railing. And here comes the monkey, ambling out to play with the camera before going to sleep on the dog. Meanwhile, both Wild Beauties (White and Black, as I've taken to calling them due to their consistent shirt colors) are out there in the forest gathering long wooden logs. A LOT of long wooden logs. It took me a while to figure it out, while they were sawing and chopping and hammering away, but they're building another floor _beneath_ the existing house. It wasn't obvious before, but the house had a big empty space beneath...it's kind of hard to explain, so just watch these episodes (which you should be doing anyway.) The ladder from true ground level up to the new lower floor gets wooden discs to make it more of a ladder-stair; this is good work. They also add a railing on the deck and another hand-rail on both the ladder-stairs and the existing ladder up to the original, top-floor house. Aw, to hell with it...here's a picture of the whole, completed thing so that you can better see what I've been talking about here. The ladder-stairs are so good, even the dog can climb up them (although slowly, and with the monkey on his back.) Wild Beauty White makes a fireplace out of some large, loose rocks and excavated dirt; the dirt is pounded to make it dense. Nearby, a lizard sits there and chews on something unidentifiable. Wild Beauty Black has been tasked with splitting firewood, and soon afterward she's got a nice little fire going. I'm sure all this work has made them hungry, and they solve that problem by cooking two ramen bricks apiece plus a half-dozen eggs. Meanwhile, the pets get pellet-like pet food; perhaps their days of subsisting on scraps from the human table are over? They also pull out a couple cans of something (beer? juice? all I could make out was the words "Gold Apple" but I sure hope it's alcohol given how hard they worked today.) After dinner, the Wild Beauties go to sleep on their beds, which together are shaped like an "L" so that the pets can sleep between the two bunks.

acting: There's no acting; this is (now) two women (and their dog and monkey) doing stuff in the wilderness.
final word: Interesting bushcraft/survival web content.
