Chapter 1
It is important to see what is around you. ‘Listen, today we are going to explore this unknown forest,’ he says as he talks about his vlog. ‘What is this unknown place? Is it even safe? Can I even survive here? Of course, I can.’ He adds as he sits down on a rock. ‘I need fire.’ He collects wood, carves a notch in a flat piece of dry wood, and sets it on the ground with tinder nearby. Using a bow and spindle, he creates friction by rotating the spindle against the wood. After a while, he sees smoke and a glowing ember forms. Carefully transferring this ember to the tinder, he blows gently, igniting a fire. With patience, he nurtures the flame, adding kindling to build a strong fire solely using wood and simple tools. ‘Ahh, I’ve got fire. Now, I am going to eat.’ He carefully selects a strong vine from the forest. Stripping away its outer layer, he separates and braids the inner fibers, creating a sturdy rope. This vine-made rope serves as a fishing line or part of a trap to catch fish in the nearby stream. He uses them for catching fish. While he was going to catch fish, he puts his foot into muddy soil. He gives a disgusted expression as he lets out a ‘arghh’ from his voice. He catches fishes, puts those fishes in the fire, and eats them after those fishes have burned properly. ‘Now I have to build a house,’ he says. He puts his camera far away to build a house. He uses rocks to break wood branches. He uses vines to securely bind the wooden pieces together, tightly weaving them to create a strong connection. Later, he uses them for making a house by putting them together. He puts grass on top of woods to use as a bed. He strolls around a bit and looks at his surroundings. There are scratching marks on the trees. He sees overturned rocks. He thinks, ‘Interesting.’ He goes back to his place, burns more fishes, and eats them. Then he goes to the wooden house for sleeping. He wakes up in the morning, catches fishes again, and eats them. He thinks it is time to go further. He puts all the camera equipment in the wooden stroller and carries it with him. He sets up the camera and starts talking. ‘It was nice to live here for a while. Now I suddenly have to go to a place for something,’ he leaves as he is talking. The camera is still on. Suddenly, the camera falls off. After 30 minutes, the camera ends video taking as it shakes heavily.
One day, a YouTuber named Josh is vlogging. He goes inside a forest. He says, ‘The other side of the forest is dangerous. But I can go because I have a professional with me.’ Nick walks him to the deeper side of the forest. As they are exploring, Nick says, ‘You see there are scratching marks. Considering muddy soil nearby, there must be paw prints. Meaning there are bears and tigers.’ Josh says, ‘Can we go further?’ Nick says, ‘Yes, but not too deep. More deep side is consider unsafe and dangerous.’ They walk for a while. Josh feels something on his feet, which causes him to trip over leaves. Nick says, ‘Be careful; there must be animal traps.’ They take out leaves from the ground. After further inspection, they find a camera. Nick says, ‘Oh, a film camera.’ Josh says, ‘Film camera?’ Nick says, ‘An old one. Very rusty.’ Josh says, ‘If we found it, then can we keep it?’ Nick says, ‘It depends on laws.’ Josh goes up to an old historian professor and says, ‘I have sent you a video of me finding a film camera. Is it possible to retrieve the videos?’ The professor says, ‘That I can’t guarantee, but I will try.’ Josh gets a call from the professor’s assistant saying that he was successful in retrieving videos. Josh goes to the professor’s house. The professor welcomes him with a warm greeting. He and the professor sit in chairs in front of a monitor. The video starts playing by starting with ’Listen, today we are going to explore.
