It doesn’t take long from choosing a campsite to building a shack.
Since lunch itself was quite late, and something happened in the middle, by the time a simple shelter was set up, it was already 5:30 in the afternoon.
In the relatively empty camp, Leonardo was already saying his final farewell to the audience.
He did not intend to stay and camp. Leonardo had already called for a helicopter ten minutes ago.
"Surviving in the wilderness is much more difficult than I thought. The moment the white-limbed bison appeared, I was covered in cold sweat." The helicopter appeared above the woods, and Leonardo had to shout loudly due to the huge sound of its rotors.
Now he still has lingering fears about the scene that happened at noon, but then he laughed again: "But it was much more interesting than I thought. I hope to see you again next time!"
"Will do!"
Bi Fang waved and watched as Leonardo grabbed the rope ladder and entered the helicopter, disappearing into the jungle.
After that, the sound of the rotors gradually disappeared.
"Huh, we finally left. Taking people is much more tiring than I thought." Bifang wiped the sweat on his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
After a long day of work, Bi Fang was exhausted, and now his stomach was growling hungry.
Physical exertion is another factor. As long as the mental pressure is relatively high, especially when you need to be responsible for another person, the pressure is much greater than that of one person.
[Little Plum is still as handsome as ever]
【It feels quite interesting】
[At least it helped Fang Shen a lot, at least he is a good hand at cutting down trees, funny.jpg.]
[It’s too dark, I can’t see anyone, it’s time to light a fire]
The audience was noisy. It was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was almost impossible to see in the already dark forest. This was because of the long days in June.
The night vision mode is far less exciting than lighting a fire in a dark forest, and it is too dark, which makes the audience a little scared, so they all urge Bifang to light a fire.
Bi Fang also took the time. Bonfires in tropical rainforests are not used for heating. They are mainly used to ward off wild beasts and provide lighting.
Bi Fang took out the charcoal from the bag. At this time, the surface of the charcoal had no sparks, but it didn't matter.
He stretched out his hand and touched it. The charcoal was still hot, which was enough.
"For most non-professionals, making fire with bare hands is a very difficult thing. Even if you are really interested in survival, after one or two failures, this interest will not last long and will eventually become just a fire.
Don’t watch or do it.”
[Ah, this is so real, I cover my face.jpg.]
[I still remember the first time I watched Fang Shen’s live broadcast of drilling wood to make fire. I was so shocked that I went downstairs and broke some branches in the flower garden to try. It took half an hour and not even smoke came out.
come out】
[Hahaha, same thing, same-minded people]
[Community? Element detection, it is best not to try it in the community, it is a bit dangerous.]
"But we can't stay in the same camp all the time in the wilderness. Many times, passively or actively, we will encounter reasons for moving. It may be the howling of wolves nearby, or the discovery of traces of beasts, or the discovery of
Find out how to get out."
"At this time, we have to go to the next camp and go through a lot of trouble to make a fire. It doesn't matter if we are proficient in making fire, but it will be very bad if we are not proficient in it, so we need to learn to make fire, and charcoal is the easiest one to make."
Bi Fang directly broke the charcoal in his hand, and in the darkness, scarlet sparks fell.
This is the fire in the charcoal, which allows people to quickly start a fire.
"There are many ways to preserve fire. You can find a piece of dry, thick wood, preferably a tree root. The density should not be too high. Sparks that are too dense are easy to extinguish. Then after igniting, put out the open flame until only the sparks are left.
burn.
In this way, you can carry it for a long distance. When it is about to burn out, ignite the next piece and repeat this process, so that you can carry it for a long distance. However, do not let the sparks go out while walking. When they are about to burn out, blow on them.
Let it burn.
When you need to ignite something, just put the tinder on top and blow on it to ignite the tinder."
Gathering the dead leaves together, Bifang grabbed the flammable object and gently pressed it on the floating charcoal. Soon, the audience could vaguely see thick smoke rising in the darkness.
Bi Fang blew slowly and loudly several times, and within ten seconds, a pale yellow flame lit up in the dark forest.
Throwing the flame into the fire pit dug in advance, the small fire instantly ignited the branches in the pit, followed by a thicker pyramid of firewood. Soon, a bonfire was lit in the camp.
"Place stones at the bottom of the fire pit, then put dead branches and leaves, then small sticks, and then thick wooden sticks built into a pyramid. This structure allows the flame to burn stably, jump high, and shine brighter.
"
[Another small detail]
A small flame went up, like a huge fire snake wrapped around the pyramid. The camp that had been built in a hurry suddenly appeared in front of everyone, all green, casting its shadow on the ground against the firelight.
Many viewers who had just gotten off work in the evening and finally had time to watch the live broadcast finally realized what an empty shelter is and how to avoid insects and ants.
It's very simple, it's just a stretcher.
Bi Fang tied two bamboo poles to form an A-shaped structure and erected it. The top of the A-shaped structure was tied to the tree as a fixed support so that it could stand without falling.
Then, make a second identical A-shaped shadow structure about two or three meters away from the first A-shaped structure and fix it.
Bind a stick to the top of the two A-shaped structures to form a beam structure similar to a house.
Then fasten a stick to the two legs of the A, about half a meter above the ground, and a "stretcher" appears.
Of course, it was definitely not possible to lay someone down like this, so Bifang and Leonardo found a large number of vines together and wrapped them around the stretcher, and they were done.
Every node is fixed by Bifang himself to ensure firmness.
The bottom is also deeply inserted into the soil. After all, it is not just a day or two, but at least a week. Naturally, the quality and quantity must be maintained.
There was even a circle of stones piled up around it. Although it was of no use, it was still a circle of barriers and could give people a sense of comfort.
It seems that in this crisis-ridden rainforest, there is a real place to stand.
Of course, it would be impossible for Bifang and Leonardo to work on this stretcher for three or four hours.
"It rains very frequently in the rainforest, especially in summer. Banna has a tropical monsoon climate, with obvious rain and dry seasons. The rainy season is from late May to late October. It rains very frequently, maybe in two or three days.
It will happen again, so we must consider rainfall when setting up camp.”
"Although the temperature is high in the rainforest, because you cannot get direct sunlight, you are still prone to colds and colds if you get caught in the rain, so you need to take precautions before they happen."
Bi Fang stretched out his hand and pointed to the "roof" above his head.
It is a shed roof made of a large number of palm leaves, and is not connected to the "stretcher".
A total of six 3-meter-long wooden sticks are used to support the ceiling structure. Two wooden sticks are nailed vertically into the ground, spaced two and a half meters apart.
Another wooden stick was tied to the top of the two nailed sticks as a beam. Bi Fang used the rattan as a rope to tie it up, and some bark as a rope. He leaned the remaining three wooden sticks against the beam so that they were in contact with the beam.
The ground forms a certain angle.
There are a large number of palm leaves on the top. They are not piled up in a haphazard manner, but very "neatly", crossing each other, and all with the leaf tips facing down.
"The most indispensable thing in the tropical rainforest is palm trees. I cut them in half and woven them into the already built frame."
"Start braiding the leaves from the bottom of the frame upwards, so that all leaf tips face downwards to facilitate rainwater flowing down. When braiding, you also need to pay attention to crossing the two layers of leaves diagonally, which can enhance the waterproof function."
"After braiding one layer, bind it with rattan, and then continue with the next layer until the entire frame is covered. You can also use the above braiding method to make palm leaves into mats or cushions, which will be softer and more comfortable."
Bi Fang held a torch, came outside the roof, showed the palm leaves to everyone, and pointed to an obvious belt in the middle and said: "The palm leaves in the top row should be complete, so that
It provides an 'eave' that can guide rainwater smoothly."
"Of course, if you have an oilcloth or tarpaulin, it would be easy. You can just set it up without having to go through the trouble like me."
For normal camping, you can unfold the tarpaulin over the entire frame to keep out the rain. Tie the four corners of the tarpaulin with ropes and fix the other end of the rope to the surrounding trees.
Otherwise, Bifang and Leonardo spent almost two hours on this roof alone, and most of their time was spent on it.
"As for the surrounding circle of stones, it is not entirely psychological. In fact, it can play a certain role in fire prevention and suppress the spread of flames. Of course, it will not work if the fire is larger. It can also isolate some small animals.
"
After Bi Fang walked around and introduced, he sat on a "stretcher" woven with rattan. The top was covered with palm leaves, and the bottom was a soft ground made of rattan. It was very comfortable.
The originally airtight and oppressive rainforest seems to have provided some breathing space under this cozy little shack, greatly reducing people's stress.
[Phew, darkness is coming, return to camp quickly]
【It's all details】
[Even if you are so particular about preventing rain, it doesn’t matter that I am like a fish in water in the rainforest.]
Bi Fang looked around and felt relieved. He took out all the Houttuynia cordata in a backpack, picked off the leaves, leaving only the rhizomes, stringed them one by one on the slender branches, and roasted them briefly on the fire.
bake.
This is his dinner today.
After finishing the meal, Bi Fang, who was slightly full, said good night to the audience and left the live broadcast before the audience could persuade them to stay.
At this moment, he was truly the only one left in the entire rainforest.
The surroundings were not completely silent. Firewood was crackling and crackling. There were insects chirping in the darkness in the distance. Farther away, there were even strange sounds of birds or animals.
Night is the peak period of biological activity and the most frequent time for predators.
The only thing around that could stop them was the burning bonfire.
The firelight was reflected in his pupils, and even Bi Fang felt uneasy deep in his heart at this moment. There was no sense of security at all due to the drafty walls around him.
We should try to add a low wall tomorrow, and more tools will be needed. In addition, the production of iron tools should be put on the schedule as soon as possible. At least before the fifth day, there should be a preliminary plan.
Bi Fang leaned the three wooden spears he made today beside the bed, added some more firewood, and then fell asleep.
...
There is a light mist in the rain forest in the early morning. Compared with the night, everything seems to be truly silent at this time. The chirping of insects has stopped, and the roars of animals have completely disappeared.
In the fire pit, the bonfire has burned out, and white smoke is rising.
As soon as Bi Fang woke up, he felt hungry in his belly, followed by a refreshing chill, and there was water vapor all around.
Yesterday, Bi Fang didn't eat anything except two large centipedes and some Houttuynia cordata. Compared with the consumption, there was already a gap in energy.
Fortunately, the gap was not too big, but Bifang still shuddered and had goosebumps all over his body.
"It's a bit cold."
Due to the extremely high air humidity and the lack of direct sunlight, the rainforest at this time was actually filled with a frightening chill, but fortunately it was still within the acceptable range.
Turn on the live broadcast, and within a few moments, a large number of viewers will pour in.
In the first venue, there were already people waiting here.
When Cao Lifeng came here with breakfast, there were already people munching on cakes and waiting for them.
However, compared to the crowded scene yesterday, today is much better.
Several roommates yawned and waved. The bonfire party was too late last night, and they are all a bit lackluster today.
"Have you brought breakfast?"
"Come on, come on." Cao Lifeng sat down on his seat with his big and small bags.
Bring out xiaolongbao, noodles, eggs, tofu curd, fried dough sticks and other breakfast items.
"Sweet or salty?" The roommate on the side saw the tofu brain and came over.
But when Cao Lifeng opened the lid, his roommate's eyes suddenly became sharp and he scolded: "You heretic!"
The white tofu puffs are sprinkled with chopped mustard, seaweed, dried shrimps, minced coriander, and dripping with red oil and sesame oil. It’s clearly a salty dish!
"Haha, the sweet guys are the heretics." Cao Lifeng took a big bite of the fried dough sticks with the salty and spicy tofu puffs, showing his disdain.
"you!"
Just as the two were arguing, the originally dark big screen finally lit up again.
"Stop making noise, the live broadcast has started."
"Come on, come on, I wonder what I'll run into today?"
"Are you going to start making iron?"
"Not necessarily. I think we should collect food first, and then consider making iron when we have enough food and clothing, right?"
Someone guessed correctly.
In the camp, dew was dripping from the tips of the palm leaves, and then the focus of the camera shifted to Bifang, who was grilling the tips of the spears.
"The morning in the rainforest was much colder than I expected. Fortunately, I knitted a palm leaf blanket last night, otherwise I might have caught a cold today."
"In addition to being a little cold, I am still very hungry. I can't fill my stomach with only some plants and two centipedes. Although I plan to make iron, the first priority is to find enough food."
