The sea is filled with sunshine, making the cold weather warm.
Except for the strong wind and the possibility of rain on the first day, the weather was very good for the next two days and there was no sign of rain.
Bi Fang lay on the life raft, drifting along with the water waves. His eyes glanced at the fishing line from time to time to see if any prey had taken the bait.
After three days of adapting, he had become accustomed to this kind of wandering and no longer felt dizzy. He even had a "famous" feeling due to the ups and downs, which was quite good.
Bi Fang casually pulled out a piece of sargassum and held it in his mouth. He put his hands behind his head and was enjoying himself in the sun. He was not in a hurry, or it was useless to talk about being anxious.
Fishing, in addition to skill, is more about luck, not to mention that he used grass bait instead of meat bait.
But with his appearance, basking in the sun and floating in the ocean, not only did he not look like a person in distress, but he looked like he was out for a trip, if you ignore his slightly pale complexion.
Although food is available, fresh water resources are still scarce. A small amount of evaporation every day can only meet the minimum needs, not health needs. It is not a problem to survive for another four or five days, but as time goes by, it will not be the case.
He is waiting for a rain, a life-saving rain.
It sounds like all the hope of survival is placed on God, but this is the real survival. Every situation is uncertain. What can be determined is probability. Some people can become survival experts just because they know what to do.
The probability of harvesting is the highest.
It was as if Bi Fang knew that the North Atlantic was affected by extratropical cyclones, and the weather was unpredictable. It would be windy and rainy every three days, and the probability of drinking rainwater was very high, so he was willing to wait, otherwise he would have zipped it up and would not stop for a moment.
Extract distilled water instead of opening the tent and basking in the sun to reduce heat loss.
This is a trade-off, a trade-off that is in line with current interests.
Real survival masters know where every bit of their strength should be used, so their probability of survival is much higher than others.
If there is no water, you cannot conjure water out of thin air. If there is no food, you cannot conjure food out of thin air. After all, Fang is a human being, not a god. Everyone calls him Fang God, but he still cannot conjure bread and water out of thin air.
The only way to survive is to rely on more "probabilities". The simplest mathematical logic is the key to survival.
Many people, including Bi Fang himself, have been pushed to the extreme of pain as they struggled with harsh environments and situations.
In this situation, one can feel that life itself is a threat.
The feeling of fear may be momentary, or it may torture you for hours or days, until you realize that you need to face it and everything suddenly becomes clear.
It is at this moment that a person truly has the belief to live and wants to find a way out to return to the life that belongs to him.
The above are not only Bi Fang's true thoughts, but also his true practices. He is not stingy in sharing his experiences with everyone.
“Many times, I have been part of an extraordinary team with strong spirit, smart mind, decisive decision-making, humility and indispensable friendship.”
"It is these valuable things I learned from those outstanding people in difficult times that have accompanied me throughout my life, not only when I faced danger and life-threatening moments in the past, but also now."
“I don’t consider myself an expert professional adventurer, but through many experiences that have been enjoyable, brutal, exhilarating, scary, or bleak, I have learned to know, to think clearly, and to respect all extremes and challenges.
The value of the environment, I should show them."
"It's about being able to adapt to the natural environment and trying to understand it, which will make you more attuned to your surroundings and therefore give you hope."
Bi Fang kept the audience from getting bored through chatting. After several live broadcasts, he felt that he had developed a good eloquence, even for stand-up comedy.
At the same time, he is also telling everyone that although he is basking in the sun and drifting, he is by no means a salty fish, but a reasonable plan.
He really doesn't have a vacation.
[Understood, Lao Fang is an algebraist!]
【I believe it】
[Can you put your hand down before you say this? With your head on your head and basking in the sun, it’s hard to be convinced when you say this! 】
[Really? I don’t believe it (funny)]
Bi Fang smiled, put down his hand, and sat on the edge of the raft to see if any fish had taken the bait, but the result was obvious. The sargassum was dangling on the water, but no fish had taken the bait.
He sighed, it's been two days, why haven't there been any fish?
Even if it's winter, it shouldn't be like this. What's more, it's not empty bait, it's grass bait, so why don't you give me some face?
Nowadays, many people regard Bifang as the world's number one adventurer, and he will be laughed at if he says he is an air force officer.
Is it environmental degradation or overfishing?
Is it even that difficult to fish?
Bi Fang scratched his head, not knowing why. In order to kill time, he could only continue chatting with the audience and talk about some survival experiences.
"Although we are far away from the shore, it cannot be said that there will be no seabirds. There are often strong winds in the North Atlantic. Maybe some birds will stray from the direction and get lost. By then, I will be hungry and tired. Seeing my poor appearance
The raft might want to come up and have a rest, so we can put some seaweed on the tent to make it more attractive."
Bi Fang separated a handful from a large mass of sargassum and placed it on the roof of the tent, spreading it out to make it more conspicuous.
[666, Fang Shen doesn’t even let birds go now]
[You have eaten so many things that run on the ground and swim in the water, but it seems that you have never eaten anything that flies in the sky?]
[It was a pity for the wild geese last time. They were all big and plump, and they looked fat. It was a pity]
[Etienne: Are you polite? Are you thinking about my few wild geese every day? 】
【Do seabirds eat seaweed? Aren’t they all fishers?】
"Eat, of course, many seabirds eat seaweed, and according to scientific research, the smell of decomposed plankton on the surface of plastic garbage is similar to that of rotting seaweed. Therefore, seabirds such as albatross will mistakenly think they are
Eat it as food.”
"It is reported that about 90% of seabirds have eaten plastic waste, basically because they regarded the plastic as seaweed and were eaten."
Spread the sargassum on the top of the tent and continue to sit down, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
But the audience who heard the news couldn't sit still, 90%?
What the hell is this ratio?
[Holy shit, is there such a thing? 】
【90? Are there that many? 】
Bi Fang nodded: "Yes, why would I lie to you about this kind of thing? You can find out if you search online."
Many viewers switched platforms after hearing this. After searching, it turned out to be true, even more than 90%!
[I rubbed it, it turned out to be true]
[Has the environment deteriorated to this point? It’s time for me, the vaccine man, to appear! 】
[It’s so pitiful. If you eat all the plastic, aren’t you doomed?]
【I will never litter again...】
[Fang Shen tries to survive in the wilderness by minimizing environmental damage as much as possible. When looking for tree sticks, he tries to find broken ones. Hey, is the gap between people so big? 】
Many viewers also commented on what Bi Fang did. Even when it came to burning firewood, except for a few emergencies, he tried his best to select dead branches and leaves, and then restored the environment as much as possible. This was different from just messing around on the beach.
Comparing the people who throw away garbage can make a judgment, even without showing respect.
People risk their lives to survive. Even so, they dare not leave traces in nature. They still have to clean it up and leave an original ecological environment. As a tourist, you still want to leave garbage after enjoying the natural scenery?
Why are you so embarrassed?
[Stop scolding, stop scolding, you won’t dare next time]
[Niubi, Fang Shen is also a particular person]
[If you don’t agree with anyone, just obey Lao Fang!]
The audience praised him again, and Bi Fang felt embarrassed. After chatting for a while, he calmed down and went fishing. But before noon, he realized something was wrong.
It's getting dark.
Isn't it?
Another storm?
Dark clouds pushed in from the southeast, the air became heavy and stuffy, and the originally calm sea surface gradually stirred up waves, as if it would turn into a big wave at any time.
The audience who saw this scene were shocked.
The scene of Bifang flying a glider across the storm last time was still vivid in their minds. Lightning struck down across the sky and earth, and branches grew wildly. It was like hell. Now it happened again?
Wait, it seems that Bifang has been waiting for the rain, right?
“I was thinking about when it would rain in the morning, and it’s coming now?”
Bi Fang was surprised at how good fortune was. Yes, it was good fortune. He had never thought that he would not encounter a storm during his twenty-one days of survival. Since the storm was bound to appear, there was no use worrying about it. It was better to think about the consequences it would bring.
The benefits of freshwater resources.
So Bi Fang thought that his fortune had turned around.
But now he no longer has to worry about good or bad luck. He needs to be fully prepared to face the storm, he explained while lowering the tent.
"Don't worry, everyone, I have actually been mentally prepared for a long time, because when it rains, the cold and warm air currents usually meet, and the water vapor cools and turns into water and then falls. There is no shelter at sea, so the effect of the air currents meeting will be more obvious when it rains.
Just to stir up trouble."
"If it is a large hailstone, the water vapor will suddenly condense into ice when it suddenly encounters strong cold airflow, or strong convection and high pressure, and then fall down."
"And I have said before that the weather in the North Atlantic is unpredictable. I have long thought about encountering a storm, so don't be too anxious. But the program team, if you are at sea, you should leave as soon as possible and don't stay. After all, the helicopter is parked on the sea.
It’s still very dangerous to go up there, and it will be terrible if you end up drifting like me.”
Yesterday and today we had two consecutive days of sunshine. The sea water evaporated so much that it was not unusual for a sudden rainfall to occur.
Bi Fang was unhurried and even took the time to remind the director, assistants and others on the program team not to let anything happen during the filming.
Of course, he didn't need to remind him of this kind of thing. The program team also knew about it. After all, Pang Di, the safety consultant, was not a decoration. They would check the weather forecast every day and would evacuate first if the weather changed.
But Bifang is in greater danger, although he doesn't care.
The audience was dumbfounded by Bi Fang's operation. Instead of worrying about themselves, they started to care about the program team?
Is this what the boss does?
"In addition, if we have a sea anchor, lowering it can keep the ship near the accident site and help you keep the ship against the wind and waves. By adjusting the sea anchor, we can make the life raft at the crest of the wave, so that
The sea anchor is in the trough so we can avoid big waves, but I don't have one."
A sea anchor is a large sinkable object with 3 to 4 hooks on it. Each hook is tied with a rope, about 1 meter in length. The ropes are gathered together and then connected to the victim's boat.
When it sinks into the water, it will form a certain resistance and provide a certain stability, which can help the boat resist the shaking of wind and waves.
The wind gradually became stronger, and Bi Fang unconsciously increased his volume as he spoke. He could clearly feel that the life raft was moving faster. No, I couldn't say it was faster, it was just lightning fast!
In order to avoid being blown over by the wind, Bi Fang had to lower his center of gravity.
Sea anchors can help victims stay in the area near the trapped point, so that search and rescue personnel can easily find them, but Bi Fang did not and never mentioned this.
"The current will have some obvious effects on the performance of the anchor and the boat, so be alert to changes that may occur at any time. If possible, you can make one yourself. The length of the anchor rope should be more than 5 meters. When you are
When huge waves hit, it can stay in the trough of the waves!"
Bi Fang pulled the top of the tent to the lowest level to lower the center of gravity. He needed to keep the canopy upright and keep the life raft dry.
"If it is in a life raft that can accommodate 20 people, the heaviest person should sit in the middle, and everyone else must also sit properly. This way, the weight distribution of the body can be used to suppress the force of the wind that blows up the life raft.
"
"Don't sit on the edge of the life raft, and don't stand, as you can easily fall into the water. And don't make sudden movements without notifying other people in the raft in advance. Once you fall into the water, you will be
Separate quickly and wait for the storm to stop. The chance of being found again is very slim. The same goes for me. Once I fall into the water, it is almost a death sentence for me!"
"So we must take various measures to prevent the life raft from capsizing."
Bi Fang stretched out his hand and paddled through the water, trying to keep himself facing the wind so that he could clearly see the coming waves and jump over them.
Large waves, especially huge waves hitting the port or starboard side, may capsize the vessel, especially the life raft.
But Bifang's life raft is a round life raft. This structure can resist huge waves in all directions. The disadvantage is that it rarely provides paddles or other things for control.
The world looked leaden, and Bifang's roar was drowned in the sound of the wind. He could no longer say anything. As soon as he opened his mouth, a large amount of air was poured in, as if it could go straight to his stomach.
Raindrops suddenly hit Bifang's hands, and the fish finally started to fall.
He raised his head, and across the leaden world, huge water pressure came down from above, slamming hard towards the life raft!
