When we passed through the valley, it was already afternoon, and it would be dark again today in about an hour.
If we chase them out now, even if we catch up within an hour, we won't be able to bring the bison back. Moreover, the food reserves are not abundant. If it drags on for two days, the situation will worsen again. We might as well set off again tomorrow morning and again today.
Ice fishing.
After searching carefully on the ice, Bi Fang found a good place. He cut through the ice and sat on a dead tree. He used fish bones to make fish hooks and used yesterday's leftover fish guts to make bait.
Before dark, eight fish of different sizes were caught one after another. The largest one weighed more than fifteen kilograms and needed to be held to stop it. Bifang used a harpoon to catch it.
But the most exciting thing is that with charcoal, I can finally eat some cooked food.
After roughly building an igloo, Bi Fang lit a bonfire. The environment quickly warmed up, making Bi Fang feel sleepy after a day of fatigue.
"Tomorrow we are going to hunt musk ox. There is no need to save food. We can eat whatever we can to replenish our physical strength as much as possible."
Bi Fang's cheeks were bulging. He cut off all the belly of the fish and swallowed it raw. He chewed it to add calories and vitamins. After he was half full, he sliced the fish meat underneath and put it into a wooden pot to stew.
The method Bi Fang chose was to support war through war, rather than saving supplies to survive.
Many survival experts have participated in Arctic survival in previous lives, but they were too cautious, or in other words, not confident enough.
Therefore, they did not dare to eat the materials they had finally hunted, so even if they won, they would lose a lot of weight, and their condition would get worse day by day, so that they would not be able to catch prey in the later stage, just relying on surviving.
The root cause of lack of self-confidence is essentially lack of ability.
The curled pieces of fish meat undulate in the boiling water, and the color changes from pink to white, which is very appetizing.
At this moment, Bi Fang cut off the last bit of sawdust and finished making a pair of chopsticks. He picked up the fish and ate it in big mouthfuls. As soon as it entered his mouth, the burning sensation that he had not seen for a long time made him almost cry.
Still smells delicious!
Regardless of burning his mouth, Bi Fang picked up a large chopstick and stuffed it into his mouth before the hot juice had dried. In other words, this burning feeling was what he wanted.
There is a bit of burning sensation in the mouth, but it makes people feel extremely fresh.
How rare it is to feel the heat in the cold ice and snow.
It is also at this time that the meat quality and umami flavor of Arctic fish fully burst out.
There is a fishy smell, but after blanching, it is almost negligible compared to what Bifang has eaten before. It is unusually sweet, clean, and the fish meat is very elastic.
"The quality of the water where fish grows has a great impact on the taste of fish. The better the environment, the better the fish meat can truly show its deliciousness. The taste of fish grown in different water quality is very different. Fish grown in high-quality water sources tend to
It is also very fresh and full of vitality, and there is no better water environment in the world than the Arctic Ocean.”
"Believe me, even without any condiments, the fish here is delicious beyond imagination."
Bi Fang's delicious feast made the audience envious.
[I want to eat too, but I have no money]
[I’ve been to Iceland once, but I couldn’t fly directly and had to transfer on the European continent. The cheapest one I’ve seen costs 5,000 yuan for a round trip, but if you book during the peak season and the time is late, it can even cost 12,000 yuan. Greenland
The latitude is higher and farther, and it seems that planes can’t get there, so it may be more expensive]
[Not counting air tickets, if you go there for 7 or 8 days, including all accommodation, tour groups, and airport buses in Iceland, the total will be about 15,000.]
【His, a poor man's dream】
[Greenland should be more beautiful than Iceland, and Iceland is full of people now]
[I just checked the club’s hunting information and found that the top three rewards in this issue are a ten-day trip to Greenland for five people, and they can also take the same cruise ship as Lao Fang... and apart from the rewards, you can also pay for it at your own expense
,Eighteen thousand per person...]
【As expected of you, Ayao!】
[I don’t feel weird at all (dog head)]
After eating and drinking, Bi Fang breathed out a breath of satisfaction and felt warm all over. While chatting with the audience, he also talked about some of the dangers of musk oxen.
Although the musk ox is not as strong as the white-limbed bison that Bifang encountered before, it is even more dangerous.
"Musk oxen are gregarious animals and are very organized. When encountering natural enemies, they do not run around in panic like ordinary bison. Instead, they form a special defensive circle with more than a dozen bulls and cows charging at each other.
Go up to the high ground, surround the calf side by side and protect it, face outward, lower your head, and face the enemy with eager eyes."
"In the Arctic, only wolves and polar bears can threaten them, but when faced with a huge body of three to four hundred kilograms and hard horns, Arctic wolves and polar bears are often at their wits' end. Sometimes angry musk oxen will rush out of defense.
Circle took the initiative to launch an attack."
This shocked the audience. Everyone in the animal world has seen it. The scene of galloping wildebeests on the grassland is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. It cannot be defeated by human beings. Even a pride of lions must weigh it. Can such a guy be caught by one person?
?
【Brave Niuniu!】
【Not afraid of difficulties!】
[So awesome, how will Lao Fang catch me tomorrow? 】
【This cow is so fierce】
"However, as gun-wielding Europeans entered the Pole and declared war on the musk oxen for their skins, beef and horns, the musk oxen's defenses were not only reduced to waste, but worse than scattered."
"The hunter first sent hunting dogs to chase the musk ox. When the musk ox formed an angry defensive circle and prepared to fight to the death, they shot them one by one. This kind of killing is extremely efficient."
"Around 1865, the last musk oxen in Alaska was shot. By the early 20th century, musk oxen in Canada and Greenland were also on the verge of extinction."
“Between 1902 and 1909, American explorer Rear Admiral Billie led expeditions to the Arctic several times, shooting a total of about 600 musk oxen for food, and obtaining activity funds by selling musk ox pelts.”
"If the small Canadian government had not passed a law banning the hunting of musk oxen in 1917, the musk oxen might have become extinct long ago. Under the protection behind, the musk oxen multiplied very quickly. There are about 3,000 musk oxen in Alaska, and there are about 3,000 musk oxen in the world.
There are 80,000 of them, and they are no longer considered endangered, and some areas even allow limited hunting of them.”
"So there is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow, so I will rest early today."
After saying that, Bi Jiancong closed the live broadcast.
The drone landed quietly on the ground, and Bi Fang extinguished the fire, blocked the entrance, leaving only a vent, and began to rest.
In the live broadcast room, the audience habitually stayed for a while after seeing this, and after chatting for a few words, they also left the live broadcast room in twos and threes.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Bi dug the entrance, jumped out of the igloo, and came to the place where the musk ox was found yesterday.
Bi Fang lay on the ground and smelled it. Fortunately, the smell was still there.
