Watched that and wondered if that woman is all there. Eats like a pig. I guess we all take cooking oil, spices, lemon slices and something to light a fire with in case of emergency. What was she sneaking up on holding that spear? Frogs looked like they were dug up from their hibernation spots and placed under a rock. Only a couple showed some real life. Eat the camera operator. Scripted, staged.

Many if not most of those Asian survival skill videos seem to be indulging in what might be the equivalent of hillbilly slash rustic humor over here (or "Red Green" up in Canada or "Last of the Summer Wine" in the UK). Something which gets lost in the cultural translation where Westerners have difficulty apprehending that (and ironic if they're Progressives professing to be sensitive to those areas or hyper-cognizant of ethnic bigotry). Heck, such even zooms over the heads of the snooty coastal establishments when it comes to grokking middle America as well as NYC Trump.

And here I thought it was just bad acting  .

(Just because I'm sympathetic to it doesn't mean I can always endure it.) For whatever reason, I can often abide the stuff from other countries in the wider genre of "corn" -- due to curiosity, and things perhaps being different enough to feel eccentric or less predictable (even if that may be an illusion).

After watching video I think we can add to this list:
From Google: Quote:How do you humanely kill a frog? Some may argue that smashing a frog unto a rock is inhumane but when in survival mode it would be hard to find a tube of Orajel. Orajel basically numbs the frog, one dab and it's ready for the freezer. Smearing with salt or citrus acid sounds like a delightful death. Only thing humane on that list is shooting them. Smashing frogs on a nearby boulder then seems quite civilized.

Several days, weeks, and months of hunger and desperation in the elements without a dumpster behind a restaurant and a homeless shelter in sight could probably shed a lot of super-refined moral pretensions and empathy affectations that technological civilization has engendered and made feasible for us to adopt. On those Survivor shows that almost every country has its own version of now, I rarely see a high-minded contestant objecting in prolonged earnest to wringing the necks of the freaking chickens when a tribe gets them.

I'm involved in a battle with spiders for control of a garden shed. Mostly they hang about on the ceiling and walls where they can attack me but I can't attack them. My rules of engagement are that any killing must be swift and certain. Their rules seem to involve maximising terror before (possibly) causing a slow and painful death. I don't know if they are actually poisonous but I do know that running away after they're on you is pretty pointless.
So, spider on the floor. Stamp stamp stamp stamp stamp. Ug. Stamp stamp stamp stamp stamp. Probably best not to send me out to kill a frog unless you are planning to make soup.

Had a Mud Dauber nest that the wasp built inside an outside light fixture at the cottage. I’d watch him carry spider after spider into that den of death. Wasp abandoned it and my wife told me to clean it out of there which I did. It was littered with spider carcasses. Have also observed Spider Killer wasp on my deck tracking down and carrying away poor unfortunate spiders for their larva. Two different species but both entertaining.
